Totally agreeāboard games are such a great way to have fun and sneak in some mental stimulation! I grew up on board games at home!
Some of my faves would be Coup (the bluffing chaos is real), Sushi Go (so cute yet competitive), Cluedo (classic mystery vibes), and games like Wavelength that test how in sync we are. Oh, and that phone game Family Style (cooking together)? Love the teamwork-shouting comboāitās adorable and hilarious.
Also into stuff like Forbidden Island when Iām in the mood to stress over sinking tiles and pretend Iām calm.
What about you? Got any underrated gems I should check out?
I enjoy the games with a bit of mystery and role assignment (like Secret Hitler and Werewolf)! But it can get intense and competitive
I have also recently found out that there are cooperative board games! Which might be more fun in building connections with others!!! I believe thereās a cooperative Harry Potter game that has various rounds as you play through the story
recently i got introduced to a couple of card/board games which i loved so much i got my own set to bring to gatherings HAHA
āsaboteurā and ātaco cat goat cheese pizzaā are what iād recommend. saboteur is very similar to werewolf and secret hitler where you kind of need to play bluff HAHAH
but taco cat goat cheese pizza is super simple! basically snap HAHAH and it can get really chaotic really quickly ~
Wow, cool, seems like you really know a lot about board games! Do you still play them nowadays?
There were classical ones like Monopoly, The Game Of Life, Scrabble, Uno Stackle, and even Jenga, as those were childhood favourites from my time.
Do you know that Singapore has board game cafes? The Mind Cafe, Playnation, The King and the prawn, and the list still goes on. So yup, you can check them out if jio-ing your friends for more board game fun!
When I was younger, I love to play board games like Monopoly and Game of Life with my cousins/ family. A few years back after being invited to play games at Minds Cafe, I enjoyed games such as Ticket to ride, Code Names, Rat to Riches etc
Great to hear that, as Sushi Go is also one of my favourite board games! Have you tried other board games?
Also, oh no, Iām so sorry to hear that. Will you mind sharing where the outlet was used to be at?
Other than that, have you tried visiting other board game cafes also? FYI: dfferent board game cafes do have different experiences, in terms of board games and F&B, among other things.
Secret Hitler and Werewolf are also my favourite, nice to hear that! All the intensity and the challenging obstacles, youāre so right, Iām feeling them already!
Speaking of cooperative board games, true also, they do help to bond deeper and meaningful connections. Any others you can think of, aside from Harry Potter?
Thatās ok, as long as youād fun enjoying. Besides Playnation and The Mind Cafe, itāll be good also, to try visiting The King and The Prawn, whenever youāre (and your friends of course) available.
I enjoy Werewolf, but have yet to try other social deduction games.
How come no one talked about apps like Meetup and Eventbrite? There are plenty of board game groups on those (free ones and paid ones)! I encourage all to download those apps and explore!
Social deduction games are my favourite too, much more fun indeed!
Speaking of board game clubs or groups, other than on the event-booking apps youād mentioned, perhaps how about having the idea of forming one and jio everyone to play together?
