Games nights can be fun at any age, whether you're playing them with your family, your floor, or just a group of friends. But if you've ended one too many friendships over a game of Monopoly, it may be time to find some new games to play. Here's a list of 8 tested-by-me games that all ages can enjoy to get you started:
1. Otrio
This game is tic-tac-toe on steroids. It's hard to keep up with the other 3 players because there are so many ways to get 3 in a row. You'll find yourself frustrated when your opponent sneaks past you to win.
2. Tension
Adults and kids go head-to-head in this game of categories.
3. Square Up
This is a fast-paced game of making your pattern before your partner does. Before you know it, a couple hours and a few dozen rounds will fly by.
4. Bananagrams
This game is perfect for any Words With Friends fans. You make your own Scrabble board with the letters you're given and keep building as you draw more letters. Plus, it's super portable to bring on trips or to a friend's.
5. Five Second Rule
It sounds super easy - just name 3 things that go with the category when it's your turn. But when you only have 5 seconds, the pressure comes down and you're bound to mess up, which makes for some great laughs.
6. Spot It
Your reaction time will be tested in this fast-paced game of matching. You may get mad at your friends as you fight over who said it first but it'll turn hours of playing.
7. Phase 10
Only play this game if you have all night because it takes a lot of focus and patience. I've been up until 5 am finishing this addictive card game.
8. Say Anything
This game will test how well you know your opponents and how well you think you know your opponents knowledge of your opponents. (Confused? Me too.) If you like Apples to Apples, you'll love Say Anything.
Next time you and your friends are bored, check out one of these games for a fun, competitive night!
