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,…

Board Game Reviews – Great for Parties
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…
Pickles to Penguins
Pickles to Penguins is about making connections between items that are unrelated. The connections need to be made as quick as possible to beat your opponents, making the game pretty tense. You are trying to get rid of all your cards as soon as possible. There’s a creativity in coming up with the connections. For…
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…
Over-Rated The Card Game
Over-Rated is a game where you are leaving reviews for all sorts of different places. This plays like Cards Against Humanity or What Do You Meme. There’s definitely an audience for this, these type of party games are really popular and if you have overplayed Cards Against Humanity this could be a good option. The…
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…
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…
Monster Fluxx
With Spooky season right around the corner, there’s no better time to talk about Monster Fluxx. Fluxx is a game with many different themes, so if you aren’t into Monsters, there are plenty of other versions to choose from. In Fluxx the rules are added as you go, making this one extremely easy to get…
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…
