There's musical fat quarters - you have to pass them on (or toss them across the room) until the music stops. whoever has it when the music stops can keep it.
Bingo - make a chart like a bingo card and put a task in each square - like "use seam ripper", "broke a needle" " poked my finger with a pin" "finished a block" "finished a row" "applied binding" "changed the bobbin" "ran out of bobbin thread and didn't notice," etc, etc..
As someone finishes one of the tasks she gets to shout it out loud (the louder the better) and cross it off her chart. Whoever has the chart full first, or has it filled in the most, at the end of the retreat, wins a prize.

I've played the "strip poker" before and it's great fun.
I've also participated in a "Chinese fabric exchange". Each person brings a yard of some gorgeous fabric, wrapped or in a gift bag. We bring our chairs into a big circle and put all the packages in the middle. We all draw numbers, then in number order each person can either choose a package or "steal" a fabric you like from another person. If your fabric is stolen, you get to either choose another package or steal from yet another person, and so on. When everyone has had a turn, the person who had Number 1 gets one last chance to trade her fabric with someone else. We usually allow a fabric to be "stolen" only three times and then it's frozen, or else the game could go on forever. It's a lot of fun and we have a great time trying to hide the fabric so it won't be stolen.

this is not exactly a game but we did this on a couple of retreats. Bring a walmart shopping bag full of scraps you are tired of and put the bags on the floor and each person picks a bag, new scraps.
