Hahha I would say you should give it a try once ;)

For your question, usually my family would play board games during festive season, if we aren't occupied in the game, we would grab more food to munch, or to approach with the olders to have a chit chat. It's a big family gathering, so yea :D but if they're in luck, they'll get lotsa cash and buy other player's property ;) evilly fun.
