Happy Holidays All!
So I had a whole article written out, but then I didn’t save it before my kids decided that Bedtime didn’t apply last night…
The next post will have double the number of games featured, but until then enjoy my ramblings about a couple of games I used to like a long time ago :-)
Let us know whether you love (or hate!) my old recommendations in the comments for your entry to tomorrows giveaway! Or if you have no opinion, share a story about playing a game you love.
Top Favorite Board Games In No Particular Order
Dude
Jordan Bird's (Hey! That's me!) 12th Favorite Game(s!)
Game: Dude / We Didn't Playtest This
What Jordan enjoys most about this game:
Both of these games are just an absolute blast - a chaotic mess that is a ton of fun with whoever you play with.
In Dude, like Happy Salmon, you are trying to match cards with other players, but all you can say is Dude & Sup. Trying to say the word Dude with enough variation to find a match is a blast - and I'm too lazy so I enjoy it more than Happy Salmon :-)
We Didn't Playtest This At All is quick simple fun at it's finest.
The point of the game is to win, you win by not losing.
Draw a card, play a card, do what the card says.
Sometimes you'll get knocked out because you're wearing jeans, or you lost at Rock, Paper Scissors. Other times you'll win because you're the shortest (or tallest!).
When you have a winner (sometimes in less than a few minutes!), shuffle up the cards and play again - over the course of the night, grudges and favors will start to play a bigger role in the game than the cards themselves :-)
Jordan's favorite memory of this game:
My favorite time playing Dude was at one of our staff meetings - it's an incredible icebreaker that anyone can enjoy!
We Didn't Playtest This At All has too many good times to remember them all, but by far my favorite card in the game is a super sneaky one. It says that the next time a player would win, they lose instead - and you can play it even if you've lost! Always great to see another player snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
