Card game : Flip 7: Rules are really easy to understand (a mix of black jack & UNO): once mastered, here you go for rounds of stress of turning each card and cheering for your mates (for good & bad reasons !).

Play as of 3 people and as of 8 years old.

Poetry for Neanderthals, 2-6 Players, Ages 7+: Super fun game -- you have to use one-syllable words to describe something with a timer running. Harder than you think!

Storyfold: Wildwoods – Solo Narrative Adventure Board Game: This one was amazing and the story was beautiful. Truly got lost in the best way possible playing this one.

Karen Fischer · Answer

Dixit: This game is so fun. It's French, and the way it works is that there's a deck of cards with ethereal, strange paintings on them. Each player gets seven cards. The one who is "it" comes up with a word to describe their chosen card, i.e. "it" card, and the other players insert two cards into a pile facedown with the "it" card, and then the other players flip all of the cards over and try to guess which card was the choice for the "it" person.

It's harder than you think, but all about psychology, storytelling, and imagery. It also comes with some fun moments for reflection on interpretation with friends.

Don't buy from Amazon - find it at a small business, Poshmark, somewhere else.

Smug Owls: A delightful riddle-making game. Flip over cards to make a riddling question, then each player invents an answer. Best answer collects cards, but we mostly ignore the scoring and just play for riddling fun!

Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza: Idk what it is about slapping card games that brings out a type of reflexes I have never shown in any sport in my life. This crushed at the mental institution. But there were also a surprising amount of injuries, so I recommend with caution for children.
