Looking forward to seeing the family over the holidays? Dreading seeing the family over the holidays? The best board games can help in both situations, offering easy-to-play family fun or providing a way to stop your Uncle Bob from talking about his ex-wife. Plus, with some big savings on party games at Walmart right now, you can save some real money, too. We've picked a few of the best games that provide an ice-breaker for when family and friends get together and refuse to talk to each other.

Exploding Kittens: was $19.99, now $15.88 at Walmart
These are not, I hasten to add, real kittens. Instead, this is a simple card game for 2 to 6 players where you each pick a card in turn. If you pick an exploding kitten card, you explode and are out. Unless you have a card in hand that can defuse the kitten through things like kitten therapy, a laser pointer, or a catnip sandwich. Or you can use one of the action cards to target another player or get a sneak peek at upcoming cards. It's a simple, fun game that is surprisingly strategic for both kids and adults. And, at $5 off, it's a cheap way to get the party started with a bang.
