When Thanksgiving is over and stomachs are overstuffed with turkey, it’s nice to retire in a relaxing yet engaging environment. So this month, we are focusing on game time. Because once the dishes are done and the leftovers are put away, it’ll be easy to recharge with a little playing.
FIT THE BILLIARD
Rack them up! A traditional billiard table allows families to practice their strategic gaming skills, and it may even encourage your kids to gain an interest in geometry. After finding a table with 22 colorful striped and solid balls, complement your table with a shelf to store your accessories, like a cue stick and ball rack, for easy access. Complete the pub vibes by surrounding the table with a few bar tables, providing seating options for players waiting their turn.
ARCADE EXCELLENCE
If traditional gaming gets a little repetitive, add some arcade action to your home. Arcade machines make a fun amenity to any space, and they come in many shapes and sizes. Whether you get classical platformers like “Super Mario Bros.” and “Pac-Man” or more intensive fighting games like “Street Fighter” and “Mortal Kombat,” every button mash is packed with fun. You could also get a pinball machine, and hit the trigger switches for hours. It doesn’t matter what you choose, you’ll still be fighting over who has the highest score.
COUCH CRASHING
One game never goes out of style, and that is the Sunday night football we all cherish and love. Get a nice, soft, large-scale couch where you can spread out on and lay back as you watch the Dallas Cowboys take the field on your big-screen TV. You’ll want one that includes innovative features such as LED theater lighting and power reclining, and others even come with their own integrative speakers for more immersive sound. Sure, you may not want to get up again and might even pass out on the couch, but all good Turkey Days include a post-dinner nap, anyway.
