My wife and I enjoy playing the card game Gloom. The game is a light, cheerful affair that involves each player being responsible for a family of 4-5. The goal of the game is simple: Through the application of cards (life events) you are to put each of your family members through as hellish a day as possible before killing them off. The game ends when a player kills off their entire family. Each player counts up their "suffering points" and the family that had the worst time of it wins the game.
It's a lot of fun.
