Poetry for Neanderthals was a hit with my family. Suprisingly Medium when we are feeling a slower game. And Anomia when are down for some high stress competition
Please keep making videos! Everything about this video was really good quality. I appreciate how you incorporated game pieces in your explanation. It helps a lot.
A couple of great ones: Happy Salmon: You can also combine decks. In the old version, there were different packages with different colored fish so it was easy to play with up to 12 players. For the Exploding Kitten version, buy two decks and mark the backs of one deck with a symbol like a circle or an "x". Then you would have the blue fish set and the circle blue fish, for instance. Herd Mentality: It's like Green Team Wins, but I think it is easier. Also being stuck with the Pink cow is funny. Ransom Notes: It's fridge magnet poetry with great prompts that lead to really funny answers. Just One: It's a cooperative game and goes over so well with every group I have ever tried it with. Telestrations: We play it with a twist as I don't like the prompts in the game. Instead we use the prompts as a category. So you will get assigned a category to make your initial drawing from instead of having to do the exact word. However, if someone can't think of something in that category, they can fall back to the word. This variation works really well. Pictomania: I think this is the best drawing and guessing party game out there.
@@jimjones7980 awesome! Thanks so much for adding some extra suggestions! Telestrations is really funny lol! I love how organically creates a lot of hilarious moments through miscommunications! I’ve yet to try herd mentality but the theme of it looks fun! I mayyyy have mentioned Just One in an additional video (exclusive video) where I go into detail about it but definitely a great game! Ransom Notes is definitely on the list of games to try as my wife has been eyeing for a while! I’ll have to check out the other suggestions you gave! Thanks again!
I am going to try Strike Dice game with my special education middle school students who are learning how to be social and playing simple games. Great recommendations in this video.
Glad your pumping out videos with great quality and b-rolls. Keep it up man! I also have a spanish speaking family that sometimes needs language independent games. Maybe one of your next videos can be a top 10 language independent games? Just food for thought 😅
Great list! Decrypto is my favorite party game, and Feed the Kraken is at the top of my wishlist. Just found your channel, really enjoying your content!
YESSSS! Decrypto is so much fun!!!!! I've had a lot of fun memories playing that game with friends! Stinks that feed the kraken isn't available through retail stores at the moment 🥲. Thanks for the kind comment! 🫶🏼
@@EzequielGenender so you can’t use basic colors as clues such as blue, green, yellow, etc. but you can use more complex colors as clues…at least last I remember when I read the rules
@@MiniSimmsProduction it’s such a great game! Absolutely loveeeeee it!!! Just a bit hard to teach compared to other party games but if the group is game for it….its soooo worth it!!!!
@@bilbobaggins3567 yeah I think because they do well in getting people involved and also there’s just a lot of conversation and it’s easy for non gamers to get into instead of knowing where to place pieces on a board
My favourite 'party' game is Intrige. It's a negotiation game where you can lie, cheat, bribe and backstab to your hearts content. It's a vicious game. )
@ 🤣🤣🤣 yeah sorry about that. Apparently it wasn’t the smoke alarm going off, just the alarm system beeping because one of the windows weren’t properly closed
@@Migeru70 I’ve never heard of it! However I did look it up out of curiosity and it seems to be the same! To be fair, they’re both based off of the public domain game “Celebrities”! I guess it would come down to what looks more visually appealing to you personally!
HAHAHA! I knew someone was going to bring this up!! I filmed this at my parent's house and it was going off all evening....we might burn in a potential fire while playing board games 😅🤣
his smoke alarm needs a battery!!! my all time favorite game is warhammer 40k, then spades, then texas hold em, then axis and allies, then D&D, rumicube, super fight card game, cards against humanity, Twilight Creations Zombies, exploding kittens, haunted house on the hill,
Your Hues and Cues scoring square has some of the scoring sides backwards. The 2's are supposed to be faced inward, and the 1's are to be faced outward, hence the scoring...
Point salad is usually a hit. Also if you have a lot of friends over Masquerade is a solid choice. It's very similar to coup but plays up to 12 players.
@@BanterandBoards I haven't played point galaxy. But point salad is a fun quick one that's not really hard to understand. Essentially you are building a salad. Each card has 2 sides. 1 side has a vegetable and the other side has a rule (ways to score points). On your turn you can choose either 1 rule or 2 vegetables from the center libary. The center library will have either 3 rules and 9 vegetables to choose from. Rules will explain to you how to get points i.e 7 points if you have the most onions or 2 points for each onion, lettuce, and carrot you have (stacking). Game ends whenever the center library runs out of cards. During your turn you can also chose to flip 1 of your rules to turn it to it's vegetable on the back and potentially get you some extra points.
Hello! I'm from Argentina and I'm looking for language independent boardgames. I believe we have a similar taste for bg's. Could you recommend me some Language Independent games?? Thankss! I just discovered your channel and I'm already suscribed!
Thanks for subscribing! I might make a video of this! I have some other recommendations but these are little "thinker": Splendor, Sea Salt and Paper, and Harmonies
I was literally watching this to get ideas for game night with another couple. My husband and the husband in the other couple are BOTH colorblind to different sets of colors. 😂 This game would be both so frustrating and so hilarious to play with them. They’d only understand half the board lol
I didn’t like any of the games for a family game that ages ranges from 6 and up… The games are for more teens and up .. Thanks but these games are a pass for now.
No worries! In my experience hues and cues has worked really well with young kids and it opens up a lot of creativity but I understand! I hope you find something you like!
