Ticket to ride is considered a modern classic and it earns that title. This game is really successful with various different versions available with maps from all over the world.

Pandemic
Well I think at this point we are all a little too familiar with pandemics but if you ever felt like you and your friends could solve one yourself, this game is for you. Pandemic is a classic as far as cooperative games go. I hear amazing things about the pandemic legendary series but I…
UNO
This post is about another classic, UNO. I think at some point in everyone’s life they’ve come across UNO. This plays a lot like a regular card game, it’s easy to take anywhere and the rules are straight forward. When I think of UNO, I think of cottages or camping, somewhere you want to play…

What an adorable relationship activity…
