The turkey’s dry, the takes are wet, and the cringe is fully stuffed.
Ah, Thanksgiving—a holiday built on expectations, anticipation, and the resigned certainty that you’ll be navigating the inevitable stress of gathering family members with wildly opposing, politically charged viewpoints on, well, everything. Fun, right? It’s the price we pay—nay, endure—for a free four-day weekend and a guilt-free hall pass to imbibe without remorse.
We prepare by studying the guest list, refreshing our mental notes on who to avoid, and plotting where to position ourselves for optimal solitude (if possible), loud distractions, or close proximity to liquor and a phone charger—or, ideally, all three. This is Thanksgiving. Once a Rockwell-esque tableau of family and food, now an event rivaling a crowded city council meeting on open mic night.
You know exactly what I mean because we all have our version of the cringe-inducing pre-Christmas dinner. To help ease the pain and add some joy, Brett and I created a conversation game designed to spark laughter through satirical questions, clever answers, and maybe a little wine-induced camaraderie. No, it’s not a drinking game—because, with Trump returning to the White House, who needs another reason to drink? Instead, it’s a fun framework to facilitate a fiery yet fruitful family forum. Hey, that should totally go on the packaging.
Based on our (as-yet) award-less Teamangle Conversation Cards, the Thanksgiving Edition is here to replace the usual subtle racism, simmering anxiety, and quiet tears with laughter, genuine connections, and maybe even a unanimous vote on who’s stuck doing the dishes.
Check it out now—the Thanksgiving Edition is a riotous game of nonsense and sharp satire, expertly crafted to help us all weather the impending category-five drama storm with a piece of our sanity and humanity intact.
