What it means: A contraction of 'we have'.

In a sentence: We've got a fun game to play!

Same family: we, have, we're, we'll, we'd. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “We've” is a contraction formed by combining the pronoun “we” and the auxiliary verb “have,” a pattern in English that dates back to Middle English. Contractions like this became especially common in spoken English and later in informal writing to show natural, quick speech.
