Luke Says: Table Games

We started playing the "I'm an animal" table game this evening, and I was It.  I started with, "I have a long tail, I'm short enough to walk under a car, and I have a short squishy face".  Luke shouted, "You're a dinosaur!"
"No, listen carefully.  I'm short enough to walk under a car."
"And you're not a dinosaur," he mused.
"That's right.  I'll give you one more hint.  I'm very furry."
"You're a CAT!" Luke shouted...correct at last.

Then it was Luke's turn.  "I'm small, but with a long tail, and...,"dropping to a whisper, "Ask me if I'm a gecko."
I was coughing up my taco salad in a very unladylike fit so Derek answered politely and without smirking (how did he manage that?!), "Are you a gecko?"
"Yes!" exclaimed Luke.

Then it was Derek's turn.  "I'm very tall, and muscular, and people sometimes like to ride on my back."
"You're a dinosaur!!" shouted Luke
"Do people ride on dinosaurs?"
"Some people do."
"Well I'll give you one more clue, I live on a farm."
"Oh I know," said Luke laughing, "You're a horse!"

When it was Luke's turn again the game took a really interesting turn.  Luke started with, "I'm a square.  Square-ish.  Square shape.  I'm the shape of a mailbox."
Despite the mutually agreed upon name of the game, "I'm an animal", I followed him down his funny little rabbit hole and asked, "Are you a sewing machine?".
"Nope!" Luke continued, "I have a door."
This time not managing to suppress his grin Derek answered with the question, "Are you a mailbox?"
So much for my taco salad.  In my hysterics I am afraid the taco salad en route to my throat did not quite make it. 

Table Games.

Do you play table games?  What are they?  We'd like to have a few more.
