Help Me Choose Some Games

[Clodfobble]

Okay, so my mom is taking us to the beach for a week in August--our first vacation in 5 years, and something we could not have afforded without her. To avoid any direct guilt on our part, she's wrapped it up as sort of an extended family reunion type thing, with various people coming and going during the week as they can.

I need some good games that the adults can play in the evenings after the kids go to bed.

1.) Several of my relatives are not so much into deep strategy and long playing times. My MIL definitely would not enjoy, for example, Settlers of Cataan.

2.) The games need to be on the quiet side, as anything with animated shouting, like Charades, would wake up the kids.

3.) The classics are nice and all, but a.) I've already considered them, and b.) a lot of them have been played to death. I want something newer and more interesting than Scrabble.

Ready? Go!
