Family Game Night (abbreviated as FGN) is an American television game show based on Hasbro's family of board games and EA's video game franchise of the same name. The show was hosted by Todd Newton. Burton Richardson was the announcer for the first two seasons; he was replaced by Stacey J. Aswad in the third season, and Andrew Kishino was hired for the fourth season. The 60-minute program debuted on October 10, 2010, on The Hub (formerly Discovery Kids, the network became Discovery Family on October 13, 2014); it was previewed on October 9, 2010, on its sister channel, TLC. Seasons 1 and 2 contained 26 and 30 episodes respectively. Seasons 3, 4 and 5 each contained 15 episodes. Season 2 premiered on Friday, September 2, 2011, with additional games being added. The games added to the second season included Cranium Brain Breaks (which replaced Guess Who? as the opening toss-up game), Green Scream, Ratuki Go-Round, Simon Flash, Operation Sam Dunk, Trouble Pop Quiz, and Spelling Bee. However games from the previous season were still kept. Games included are: CONNECT FOUR, BATTLESHIP, YAHTZEE, BOGGLE, SORRY! and soon to be released SORRY! Sliders. In this big version of Sorry! Sliders, each family has two executes a command incorrectly one of rings with point values starting at 5 in the center, then 3, 1 and The Sorry! Ring, which is worth no points (and prompts the audience to shout out "Sorry!"), in the outer area. Players can push their opponent's pawns to affect the scoring. Each round consists of 2 rolls per family. The family with the most points slides the round, and the first family to win 2 rounds wins the game. If a round is tied, each family gets a half-win. If tied after 2 rounds, a "slide-off" takes place with only one roll per family; the most points wins. Starting in season 2, each team places a special prize dot on the board (except that they cannot place their dots on the 5-point zone). If a team's pawn is at least partially on their prize dot at the end of the round, their team wins a prize; if their pawn is on their opponent's dot at the end of the round, that pawn does not count for any points. TYING PLAYERS UP IN KNOTS FOR GENERATIONS: Who doesn’t remember playing this Hasbro game as a kid. The Twister game is for adults and kids age 6 and up. Families can join in the fun together A variation on Ratuki, this game involves a relay race to get rid of twenty cards, with values from 1 to 4 on it, and the final 20th card with a value of 5 on it (displayed by different types of pictures) by placing them on a center spinner initially holding five cards with values from 1 to 5 on them. Players can only place a card that is either one number higher or lower than the previous card that was placed. The final card with a value of 5 cannot be placed down until all the other cards are gone. Breaking the rules causes the offender to freeze for 10 seconds. The first family to place all their cards wins.Earn points by playing games and completing challenges to trade in for new items to make your game room unique.

FUN PARTY GAME TO PLAY IN TEAMS: This group game includes instructions to play in teams, along with tips for hosting a Twister tournament. Break out the mat for game night too In another version of this minigame, the families faced a music keypad with five notes numbered and colored. 1-Blue, 2-Red, 3-Green, 4-Yellow and 5-Purple. This is a Simon-like game where the player who made a mistake forfeited the points to his/her opposing family. The kids played first and they must add one note at a time; their round is worth 10 points. The adults played second, but they must add two notes at a time; their round is worth 20 points. The family with the most points wins. This version is now played in the second season as Cranium Piano. In the fifth aired (first produced) episode, players from both teams shot their red and yellow balls at the same time. The first team to make 4 in a row won one round; the first to win two rounds won the game. Hasbro Family Game Night 4: The Game Show is a video game in the Family Game Night series, released for PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 in late 2011. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions support motion controllers ( PlayStation Move and Kinect), which are required in the Wii version, played with just a Wii Remote, like in prior installments. Though fundamentally the same as the previous seasons, the Boptagon is now smaller and accommodates only one player at a time in teams of two. Each player gets thirty seconds to get as many commands as possible. The new commands include "Chop It!" and "Squeeze It!" (which replace Twist It and Shout It). Pull It is now a rope instead of a leg with a shoe. After two rounds of play with both team members, the team with more correct commands wins the game. Ties are broken in favor of the child who completes their first command faster. After that, the two teams will receive a Community Chest combination card.

In addition to the Cash Card, a family that won a game also received a special bonus prize which they kept regardless of the final outcome of the show. In the first season of the show, this prize was simply revealed by host Newton, but in the second season, each prize was a "Monopoly Party Prize" revealed by announcer Burton Richardson and still shown as a prize, but with a "(Subject of Prize) Party" before it being revealed and explained. At the end of the show, both families took their accumulated cards to the "Crazy Cash Machine". Each card was placed into the Machine, revealing its value, at which point the machine would spit out the amount in oversized Monopoly Money bills. Both families kept all the cash and prizes they won during the game, and the family with the most cash at the end also won a vacation. If there was a tie after both families had used all their cards, then both families won the vacation, rather than playing a tiebreaker. However, this never occurred in any episode. If the "Top Cash Card" was not found by the players, the host would tell the audience near the end of the show what card held it. The only time it was not told was in the second produced episode.
