You Can’t Say Umm is a party game that challenges you to do the impossible and not say Umm when giving clues. If that isn’t enough of a challenge, new rules will be added throughout the game. I really like this one. It’s a great length and doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. The components are good,…

Periodic: A Game of the Elements
Periodic: A Game of the Elements combines set collection and science into a very unique learning experience. Genius Games has this talent for taking science and making it engaging and fun.

Bounce Off
Bounce off is kind of like Beer Pong meets Connect Four. You are bouncing ping pong balls into a grid trying to make a pattern. There are nine different pattern cards with varying levels of difficulty. This is a really simple concept but works well for what it’s trying to do. The cards give it…
Taboo
Taboo is another classic game. It came out in 1989 and is a standard for word based party games. Most people have seen it in stores or played it with friends. There is a huge audience for this, people love the challenge of answering under pressure. Giving clues with restrictions can be a challenge, but…

Mean Girls The Party Game
I love the movie Mean Girls and I love board games so this works out quite well for me. Essentially this is the same as the game Truth Bombs, just with a Mean Girls theme. Which is kind of a genius move because is perfect for a burn book. In the game you are answering…
Pocket Samuri
Pocket Samurai is a two player mix of drafting and then card reveal. There are two phases the Dojo phase where you choose your cards and the Bushido Phase where you play them. Pocket Samurai is a small and fast game which uses that as it’s strength. The game comes in a durable small card…
Cellulose: A Plant Cell Biology Game
Cellulose is a worker placement game with an educational twist. In general I think most games have educational value, but this takes it a step farther. The entire time I played I wished I had something like this back when I was taking science classes. It is definitely a game I am recommending to teachers…
Psycho Killer The Card Game
This one definitely has a killer theme. Psycho Killer is a card game that I think feels like a similar weight to Exploding Kittens or Unstable Unicorns, it isn’t as cute, but just as fun. This is a relatively quick card “take that” style game. There isn’t really anything that feels new with it, so…
Can’t Stop
Can’t Stop is a push your luck game from 1980s. There isn’t a great theme or fancy rules. It is pure push your luck and I love everything about it. The simplicity is what make this game. The components are okay. The play mat is nice but the pieces can slide a bit and are…
