Great Games to Play Together!
As Thanksgiving nears, we have compiled a list of 5 (in no particular order) great games to play together as the tasty food digests. These games are easy to learn and teach even the grumpiest of uncles.
Just One is a cooperative party game for 3-7 players in which you play together to discover as many mystery words as possible. Find the best clue to help your teammate. Be unique, as all identical clues will be cancelled!
In Pandemic, several virulent diseases have broken out simultaneously all over the world! The players are disease-fighting specialists whose mission is to work together to treat disease hotspots while researching cures for each of four plagues before they get out of hand.
Dixit is a fun and silly game where players take turns being the storyteller. The storyteller looks at the images on the 6 cards in their hand. From one of these, they makes up a sentence and says it out loud (without showing the card to the other players). Each other player selects the card in their hands which best matches the sentence and gives the selected card to the storyteller, without showing it to the others. The storyteller shuffles their card with all the received cards. All pictures are shown face up and every player has to bet upon which picture was the storyteller’s.
Push your luck…But not too far! Rack up points by playing cards to the three stacks – but watch out! You can’t repeat a color or number. Choose when to stop and score the best stack or push your luck and go for more!
In Codenames, two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the board. Their teammates try to guess words of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin.
