Default smaller family traditions?

We have lots of traditions that are part of holidays, but I would like to build in more smaller ones. Like we always eat frozen pizza on Fridays. This one is getting harder, cause kids in high school are often busy on Friday's now. My oldest has a job and has to work Friday nights and in the fall both older boys will be in band playing at football games every friday. We used to always have pizza and sodas and either watch a movie together or play a board game. But now that the boys are older we need some new ones. Any ideas?

What about playing cards after dinner? Or some board game that everybody likes? My family often did that growing up instead of tv.

Default New Ideas?

Why break tradition? Playing board games gives all of you the opportunity to keep that family bond by communicating with each other. No family should ever grow out of having a tight, loving bond with each other.
