My small group have started play "Left, Right, Center" it is a dice game, sells for about $5.
we have played it starting with 3 FQ each, winner gets them all. This last time I challanged them to bring 3 $1 items. First they had a blast going through the $ store, and then we had a blast seeing what we each brought. And $ store items cheaper than a FQ even if you pull it from your stash. (You paid for it at some point)

Our all time favorite retreat game is "dirty Santa bingo." You play regular bingo and the first winner gets to pick a prize from the prize table. The second winner gets to either pick a prize from the table or take the first person's prize. The first time we played we let people open the prizes and we set a limit of three steals. The last time we played we didn't let anybody open the prizes and no limit to the amount of steals. All of the prizes were small items and ranged from just a candy bar to a fat quarter or spool of thread kind of prizes.

Play left-right-center with fat quarters..very fun
Have people donate a small item and theN auction them off. I have bought a few nice things that way. Our group then uses the proceeds to offset the cost of the next quilt camp!

I have been to only one retreat - and am booked for a second one this summer - I don't want to spend much time on games. Ours was beautifully unorganized - we sew, sew, sewed. We did play Quilt Bingo right before supper one night - it was a change of pace during a sort of dead time anyway. We also went back to the quilt shop that organized the retreat and had a private shopping time after store hours. Had a nice discount, too.
I really liked the one where you called out Bingo things as you sewed - used a ripper, etc. That would add fun without taking sewing time.
