Fun Board Games

Hello everyone! Today I will be talking about the board games that I like to play with my family and friends, especially during quarantine as we can’t do much. In this list, I will include some of my personal favorites and how to play.

Slapzi:

Slapzi is a fun game that you can play with 2 - 8 people and it is a very easy game. You are given 7 cards and they each have an image and their name, so for example I might have a card with a picture of a donut on it with written “Donut”, in the middle, there will be a deck of cards to pick up that say something specific, for example, if my cards are: Pizza, Car and Box, and the card in the deck says “it is a food”, you are going to take your card that works for that description and put it in the middle so in this case, it would be Pizza, the person who gets rid of all of their cards first wins.


Activity:

Activity is one of the best games in my opinion as you can play with 3 - 16 people and it is extremely fun, in this game, you will be put in teams of 2 and you will get a card, based on where your character is standing on the board, you will have to act out, draw, or describe the word on the card. This game is not too long as it lasts about 30 minutes and it can be done over and over, there are different levels of difficulty, and the more difficult it is, the more points you get if your partner guesses correctly what the word is.


Fuori Dai Denti:

The name of this game, in English, translates to “Out of your teeth”, in this game of 2 - 10 players, the player will put a plastic mouth guard in their mouth and will take a card from the deck, the player will try and read the card with their mouth being held wide open from this plastic guard. The hourglass will be flipped and the player will have to try and say the sentence so that the other player/s can understand. If the other players understand the sentence you said with the mouthguard, you win a point.


Cluedo:

The game Cluedo is very fun and also mysterious, this has always been a classic and one of my favorites. In this game, there are three categories: weapons, characters, and rooms. In a mansion, a person has been killed and every player has only some character cards, some room cards, and some weapon cards, the answer to the mystery “who killed the person” will be put in an envelope, in the envelope there will be a character card, to find out who is the killer, there will be a room card to find out in which room of the mansion the killer killed, and a weapon card to find out with what the victim was killed. The players will have to share each other's cards in the rounds to find out who, with what, and where the victim was killed.
