Beyond being a fun distraction, social network games can offer family members a meaningful way to interact and meet social obligations, a new study concludes.

The games can also bring together family members who may be only distantly connected, with respondents citing experiences such as connecting with long-lost cousins or bolstering relationships with aging aunts.
