Black stories

Regardless of whether you have experienced something like this, or you just got interested after reading this description, "Black stories" will be a great game for you and your company of friends! The game includes 50 dark, exciting and mysterious stories that will stimulate the imagination and make the whole group of friends think.

The game can be played comfortably in the car, by the fire, in the open field or on the roof of the house, wherever you can safely hold the card in your hands and read it!

Each card has the full description or resolution of the event written on one side, and only a challenging, cryptic sentence or phrase along with a picture on the other side. One player is chosen to take on the role of leader, reading the entire full story to himself and only reading a clue to the other players. Now it is the turn of the other players to ask yes or no questions and try to understand what led to the particular situation.

The game is originally designed as a cooperative game to solve the mystery together in a friendly way, but if your group of friends likes to compete, you can turn it into a race, with whoever solves the most mysteries during the game winning the game!

If the first "Black stories" game is over quickly, don't worry - we have more !

Spyfall 2

Test your deduction, catching and tricking skills! There is a spy in your midst, perhaps even several! Try to catch them before they find out where you are! Spyfall 2 is a fun party game for people who like stealth and secret plan games, but aren't really into shooting your friends in the middle of the night like other games in the genre make you do.

At the beginning of the game, each player is dealt either a location card or a spy card. A spy's job is to gather enough information to find out where everyone is in order to disguise himself well. The task of the other players is to stop and capture the spy. The game works by asking players free-form questions to elicit information they might know and what they might be hiding.

Of course, the game has a catch! Each person in a location is also assigned a specific role—what they do in that location. The role can often influence their answers, say if the player is asked if they like being here when the location is like a zoo, the answer will be different if the player is a curious kid or a zoo keeper!

Be sneaky, ask the right questions and don't reveal too much!

Codenames

Will you get along with the captain of the team from half a word? How about one word and one number?

Codenames is a game of association, guessing words and secret agents. Players split into two teams tasked with finding all of their missing agents, now identified only by their nicknames. The captain of each team sees all of his agents and tries to convey this information to the rest of the team without raising the suspicion of the opponents.

The captain gives the team one name and one number, where the name is what the multiple nicknames have in common, and the number indicates how many such related names there are.

Once the cue is given, the team only has a short moment to deliberate before making a decision and choosing the right words.

If a team successfully finds its agents, it is one step closer to the goal of finding all agents. If they accidentally hit an innocent citizen, the team's turn ends. Work more carefully next time! A murderer is also hidden among other characters. If the team accidentally runs into it, the game will be lost!

A great game to play in a group with friends who already know each other, as well as a great game for a larger party as there is virtually no limit to the number of people who can participate.

There is also a picture version "Codenames Pictures" , as well as a special version for two players "Codenames Duet" .

Only one

If your company of friends prefers cooperative and friendly games, then Just One will help bring together friends who want to play a fun association game that everyone plays together to get as many points as possible!

Choose one of your friends as the first mentioner. The guesser picks up a card from the stack without looking, places it face down and names the number that will correspond to one of the words. The other players will write their one-word association on small boards, trying to lead the speaker to the correct word. When the words are revealed, the guesser walks away while the other players check that each word has been mentioned only once. If there are words that repeat or are quite similar, they are deleted, leaving only those that are one at a time to be guessed.

The game continues like this for 13 rounds, with everyone trying to collect as many points as possible! Everyone gets involved in the game and no one is left alone!

What Do You Meme?

If you are looking for something very simple and fun, which will also be able to distract young people from their smartphones, "What Do You Meme?" is an excellent choice. In it, players must combine descriptions with popular memes, creating the funniest combinations. Players will laugh while holding their bellies!

Maybe someone already has this game. In that case, he will definitely be happy to receive one of the expansions of this game, which will add new images, new text cards and countless intoxicatingly funny combinations of images and texts.

Schummel Hummel

We all remember those friends whose nails are always itching to get a few thousand euros from the game bank while others are not looking. Such cheating can often ruin the game, but not "Schummel Hummel" . This game has the well-known principle of "Uno" - players must play a matching card on their turn, and the first to get rid of their cards wins!

But there is a big catch in the game! You can get rid of your cards ANY way you want, as long as you don't get caught. Throw the card over your shoulder, stick it under the table, put it in your pocket, but watch out - one of the players is a supervisor trying to catch cheaters. A very entertaining card game for resourceful crooks!
