Just One is a cooperative party game 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!

Winner of over two-dozen international board game awards including game of the year.

Really easy to explain to non-gamers. No table required. People can sit around a room, a campfire, or even on a couple bar stools. This game regularly comes up in top 10 lists and is a TON of fun.

Players form two teams and compete to decode messages while trying to figure out the opposing team’s codes. Each team has four hidden words that only they can see, and in the first round, one player gives a clue based on a code card with three numbers (like 4-2-1). If their teammates guess the numbers correctly, they succeed; if not, they get a black mark for failure. As the game goes on, teams keep giving clues and guessing, earning white marks for correct guesses and risking black marks for wrong ones. The game ends when a team collects two white marks to win or two black marks to lose. If neither team wins after eight rounds, they guess each other’s words, and the team with the most correct guesses takes the victory. It’s a fun mix of teamwork and strategy that keeps everyone engaged!

Wavelength is a fun social guessing game where two teams try to read each other’s minds. Each team takes turns rotating a dial to guess where a hidden bullseye is on a spectrum. One player, known as the Psychic, knows the exact location of the bullseye and draws a card with two opposing concepts, like Hot-Cold or Job-Career. The Psychic then gives a clue that hints at where the bullseye might be between those two ideas. For instance, if the card is Hot-Cold and the bullseye is a bit on the cold side, the Psychic might say “salad” to guide their team. After that, the team discusses and decides where to turn the dial, aiming to get as close to the bullseye as possible for maximum points. It’s all about teamwork and clever clues, making it a blast to play with friends!

A classic, light, trivia game that lets you bet on anyone’s answer. So you can win by making educated guesses, by playing the odds, or by knowing the interests of your friends. It can be taught in 2 minutes, played in 25 minutes, and accommodates up to 20 people in teams.

It’s won many awards and is a really crowd pleaser every time I introduce it to new groups. Good for young and old.

Unique and a lot of fun!

Two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Lay out 25 cards, each bearing a single word. The spymasters look at a card showing the identity of each card, then take turns clueing their teammates. A clue consists of a single word and a number, with the number suggesting how many cards in play have some association to the given clue word. The teammates then identify one agent they think is on their team; if they’re correct, they can keep guessing up to the stated number of times.

Fun if you like teamup games where one team is competing against another.

A fast game for 3-10 players in which everyone gets a role: One of the dastardly Werewolves, the tricky Troublemaker, the helpful Seer, or one of a dozen different characters, each with a special ability. In the course of a single morning, your village will decide who is a werewolf…because all it takes is lynching one werewolf to win!

Because One Night Ultimate Werewolf is so fast, fun, and engaging, you’ll want to play it again and again, and no two games are ever the same.

The quintessence of bluffing, a game in which everything is played in the players’ heads. Each player plays a face-down card, then each player in turn adds one more card – until someone feels safe enough to state that he can turn a number of cards face up and get only roses. Other players can then overbid him, saying they can turn even more cards face up. The highest bidder must then turn that number of cards face up, starting with his own. If he shows only roses, he wins; if he reveals a skull, he loses, placing one of his cards out of play. Two successful challenges wins the game. Skull & Roses is not a game of luck; it’s a game of poker face and meeting eyes.

Great to play at bars and other informal gatherings. Really easy to teach and play!

Up to eight players bet on five racing camels, trying to suss out which will place first and second in a quick race around a pyramid. The earlier you place your bet, the more you can win — should you guess correctly, of course. Camels don’t run neatly, however, sometimes landing on top of another one and being carried toward the finish line. Who’s going to run when? That all depends on how the dice come out of the pyramid dice shaker, which releases one die at a time when players pause from their bets long enough to see who’s actually moving!

If your group like to gamble and enjoys the randomness of trying to guess who’s going to end up on top, Camel Up is a great game. It won game of the year in 2014.

In Dixit, each player receives a hand of oversized cards adorned with stunning artwork. The game centers around creativity and interpretation, where players take turns being the “storyteller.” On their turn, the storyteller selects one card from their hand and describes it using a word or phrase—this could be anything from a simple adjective to a line from a poem. The twist is that the description should be cryptic enough to challenge others but not so obscure that no one can guess it.

A great game for groups that have a wide range of ages. Kids do just as well as adults and feel very included in this game.
