When I was growing up we played games like pin the tail on the donkey at birthday parties.  I am sure there were other games we played but that is the one that sticks our the most in my mind.  This year for my son’s birthday party we wanted to include him in the planning so we asked him what he wanted to do.  We did not expect the donkey game but would not have been surprised is he had chosen the movies. Instead he wanted to play a collectible card game.  While I was not sure about it at first it worked out well and everyone had a good time.
