The Addams Family Family Reunion Game is a board game released in 1991 for 2–6 players, 10 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. Its main mechanics are Set Collection and Roll / Spin and Move.
Be the first player to collect the four party guests on your invitation card and the food token to win. You get to take a wonderfully wacky trip around the mansion with Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Lurch, Pugsley and Wenesday. The object is to bring 4 guests and the food to the party. Along the way, you'll run into some of the funniest and strangest situations ever! You might land in the graveyard where you dig up three guests. Or you can rest on the bed of nails and lose a turn. If you are lucky enough you may land on the TRAP DOOR and then you can go to any space on the board. Land on THINGS space and you pick a THING card. Do you have any relatives over 500 years old? If so take a guest card. If you are wearing black go to any space in the graveyard. Just about anything can happen when you go to The Addams Family Reunion. The first player to bring 4 guests and the food to the party wins the game
