NATIONAL GAMES AND PUZZLE WEEK 

While the family is gathering for Thanksgiving, it's time for National Game and Puzzle Week.

#GameAndPuzzleWeek

It's an excellent time to break out the board games and puzzles. With so many family and friends gathered in one place, set up a tournament. Get conversations started with complex puzzles. Puzzles and games keep the brain sharp after carbohydrate loaded meals. Cousins and siblings challenge each other in a variety of card and board games. At the same time, they learn who has the best memory and who is the sleuth. Of course, someone is always a strategist, and then there's the quiet one who comes from behind and wins it all.
