I love escape rooms, but with the pandemic in our lives it doesn’t seem like I’ll be going back to one anytime soon. Luckily there’s a few different escape room game options to play at home. The first one I am trying is from the Unlock! series. They are pretty impressive and they seem to…

Slapagories
I have a very soft spot for quick games and with good reason, they are easy to get people interested, the set up is fast and its takes nothing to explain the rules to get started. Scattegories is a great classic, but sometimes you want something a bit lighter, faster and with a tiny bit…
Fun Employed
Another game that offers a little bit of creative thinking, in this game you are going to build a resume and get a job. Seems pretty relatable. This can be played with 3 or more players and is for 13 years and up. This game falls into a category with Cards Against Humanity or Superfight. …
Say Anything
Say Anything was designed by Dominic Crapuchettes and Satish Pillalamarri. It was published by Northstar Game Studio. It is a game to test how well you know what your friends are thinking combined with a little bit of wagering. This plays well for ages 13 and up with 3 to 8 players. Games take roughly…
Throw Throw Burrito
Throw Throw Burrito is a game that combines cards and throwing things. Something I didn’t know I wanted and turns out I definitely needed. I love this one, it’s made by the same people that brought us exploding kittens. I love that it keeps that style but has completely different gameplay, it’s fresh and it’s…
WTF (What the Fish) Card Game
My nephew got me this one for Christmas and we played quite a few rounds. I love fast paced card games so this fits in well for me. There were 4 of us in the game and I think it might be better with five or six but it was still a lot of fun….
Blockbuster
Blockbuster is an amazing game that game that came out this year. If you are looking for a last minute Christmas gift, a game for any family dinner or an evening with friends, I recommend picking up a copy. It will take about half an hour to play and is for ages 14 and up….
Jungle Speed
I’ve owned a copy of Jungle Speed for over 10 years. I remember playing it at a game night, before I really started building a collection and buying it almost immediately after. At that point as a non gamer, that was fairly significant. Now I’ll buy a game without thinking twice, I’m at the game…
Dan and Phi’s Truth Bombs
Truth Bombs, an amazing game to see how well everyone knows you. There are a lot of question and answer games out there, what I like about this one is you are answering questions as someone else. Since you are answering as another player, this should really be played with people you know well. This…
