university-games-party-game-night-compendium-1

I've had the joy of experiencing University Games Party Game Night, a fantastic compendium of games that has brought endless entertainment to my gatherings. The different games included in the set are perfect for either short bursts of fun or for when you want to spend an entire evening with friends and family.

I must say, the charades game is especially memorable, with its ability to challenge and entertain people of various ages. The trivia, guessing, and drawing games are also outstanding, each one adding a unique dimension to the party atmosphere. While it might be a best-fit for ages 12 years and over, I've found that people of all ages love to join in and have a blast.

Party Game Night truly lives up to its name, offering a compendium of fun that is bound to create lasting memories.

unstable-unicorns-card-game-unstable-unicorns-1

I recently tried out Unstable Unicorns, a card game that quickly became one of my favorites for game nights. The game is for 2-8 players, recommended for ages 14+, and takes 30-45 minutes to play. The box contains 135 cards and a rule book, and it features a magnetic closure to keep everything secure.

The objective of the game is to collect as many unicorns as possible in your stable, with the ultimate goal of being the first player to have 7 unicorns. With over 20 magical unicorns, each with their own unique power, the game encourages you to strategize and build your army of one-horned horses as fast as you can.

One feature I loved about the game was the use of Magic Sound. This helpful tool lets you protect your stable and prevent other players from destroying or stealing your unicorns. However, the game's unpredictability can turn on you quickly with the Neigh? card, which sends the game into Madness!

Despite the slight learning curve, I found the game to be both fun and well-made. The box is sturdy, and the cards are not too thick to be easily handled. The artwork on the cards is attractive and adds to the overall charm of the game.

The only downside I encountered was the occasional difficulty in understanding the rules, which required some research and asking for help. However, once I got the hang of it, I found myself fully immersed in the gameplay and enjoyed the creative dynamics between players.

Overall, Unstable Unicorns is a great choice for a game night with friends or family. With a combination of strategy, humor, and unicorns, it's sure to be a memorable and enjoyable experience.

While some players might find the questions too difficult, overall Smart Ass is a great choice for a lively game night.

what-do-you-meme-game-bigger-better-edition-1

I recently had the pleasure of trying out What Do You Meme? game, and I must say, it was a blast! The game is perfect for those awkward family gatherings, parties with friends, or just a fun night in. The package itself is sleek, black, and eye-catching, which adds a touch of elegance to the overall experience.

One of the things that stood out to me was the sheer number of cards included. With 450 Caption Cards and 75 Photo Cards, there's no shortage of memes to keep you laughing all night. The iridescent lettering on the box makes it look more expensive than it actually is, which is a nice touch for any gift-giving occasion.

However, there were a few drawbacks I experienced while playing the game. Some of the captions were repeats from previous versions, which made the game feel a bit redundant at times. Additionally, the "adult" cards contained some explicit innuendos that may not be suitable for all age groups, so sorting through the cards before playing is essential.

Despite these minor setbacks, What Do You Meme? was a fun and entertaining game that brought a lot of laughter to the table. The concept is simple yet engaging, and it's perfect for those who love a good meme. So, if you're looking for a game that will keep you entertained and make you laugh, give What Do You Meme? a try – just be prepared for some inappropriate humor along the way.

One of the unique features of this edition is the option to download a buzzer app for your phone, which elevates the gameplay experience even further. Just make sure to download the app before starting the game, as it requires an account to be created.

With a minimum of three players required, the game is perfect for gathering friends and family for a night of laughs and friendly competition. However, be warned that some of the questions may be considered 'adult-themed', so it's best reserved for a late night adult gathering or older teenage groups.

The craftsmanship of the game is good, and the components are of a decent quality. The size of the game box is compact, making it easy to store away when not in use.

Overall, Family Feud Late Late Night Edition is a fun, engaging party game that brings together the classic gameplay with a modern twist.

slumber-party-family-party-game-1

Slumber Party Family Party Game has turned my ordinary game nights into a lively and entertaining celebration! This game is perfect for both small and large groups. The brand, known for its creation of What Do You Meme? certainly knows how to entertain.

One standout feature that made my game nights memorable was its ability to engage everyone with its witty challenges. The gameplay was easy to understand, and it got our competitive spirits going! The laughs and the excitement around the table made each minute of the game worthwhile.

However, there were a few aspects that I believe could be improved. The instructions could benefit from being more specific and detailed, especially for players who are familiar with multiplayer games. Additionally, the box could be more durable to withstand the wear and tear from frequent use.

Overall, I've found Slumber Party Family Party Game to be a hit in my household. Its fun gameplay, engaging challenges, and versatile nature makes it a standout addition to any family game night. Despite its minor flaws, its fun factor is not to be ignored, which easily earns it a recommendation!

george-co-games-dice-game-left-center-right-1

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the George & Co. Games Dice Game, Left Center Right. This classic dice game is designed for 3 or more players and is perfect for a fun night in with family and friends. The game includes three LCR specialty marked cubes, 24 chips, and instructions all neatly tucked away in a special tin.

Players take turns rolling the dice, each of which is marked with L, C, R on one side, and a single dot on the three remaining sides. The goal is to accumulate chips by strategically passing or keeping them based on the roll of the dice. The last player with chips is the overall winner. It's a simple game with a lot of potential for excitement and friendly competition.

One of the best things about this game is its compact storage tin. The tin keeps all the pieces organized and easily transportable, making it a great option for game nights on the go. The tin and the game itself feel well-crafted and have a nice tactile quality.

However, there were a couple of drawbacks I noticed during my experience. Firstly, the LCR dice seem a bit small compared to standard dice. This may make them slightly more challenging to handle and potentially more prone to being lost. Furthermore, the chips included are made of a lightweight material - not the sturdiest ones you'd find in high-quality game sets.

Despite these minor issues, I still had a great time playing the George & Co. Games Dice Game, Left Center Right. It's a fun, fast-paced dice game that you won't be able to put down. The tin storage and the compact size make it an even more attractive option for game night lovers. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone looking to add a little excitement to their game night collection.

endless-games-password-game-1

I've always been a fan of classic board games, and Password's latest edition has not disappointed. It brings back memories of my childhood and creates new ones with my loved ones during family game nights.

One thing I truly appreciate about Password is its simplicity. The one-word clues make it a challenging yet exciting game. It's amazing how many different meanings a word can have, and this game really puts that to the test. The scorepad adds an extra layer of strategy – the fewer clues I give, the higher the score.

However, there were a couple of minor issues I encountered while using the game. The red filter used to cover the answers can be challenging to read, especially for those with older eyes. Reading glasses or a magnifying glass solved the problem, but it would have been great if the game came with better viewing options out of the box. Also, the timer system could use some improvement. At times, the game can feel a bit too drawn out, and a timer would add a sense of urgency and excitement.

Despite these small drawbacks, Password remains an entertaining and family-friendly game. The fact that it can be played by people of all ages and skill levels is a testament to its timeless appeal. I'm looking forward to many more game nights with my loved ones, Password in hand.

This game is great for groups of 2 to 8 players, and can be enjoyed by everyone from ages 8 to 108. The concept is simple: describe a Poop card using the cards from a TP card deck, but don't let it sound like poop! The objective is to make your fellow players laugh and guess the correct TP card.

Made with high-quality and durable materials, "It's Not Poop" features a sturdy glossy box and durable high-gloss cards.

To play, simply separate the Poop and TP card decks and let each player draw three cards from each stack. The game begins when a player lays a Poop card face-up and declares, "It's not __" (fill in the blank). The other players then try to guess the TP card using the questions from the Watch Your Mouth card. The first player to guess correctly gets to keep the card, and play proceeds to the right.

what-do-you-meme-new-phone-who-dis-party-game-1

My friends and I recently played "New Phone, Who Dis? " and it was a blast! This game definitely lives up to the promise of being perfect for pregame parties - we had a great time laughing while playing it before heading out for a night on the town. The simple rules make it quick to start playing, and there's no limit on the number of players, so it's perfect for larger gatherings.

The game has a unique and cheeky theme, where each player gets to be the judge of the "inbox" cards, and they have to find the funniest "reply" card to match. The 150 inbox cards and 300 reply cards ensure there are plenty of combinations to find what's funny to everyone. However, one drawback is that some of the reply cards feel repetitive and the inbox cards can have a limited range of themes.

The game comes with instructions in English and is suitable for players over the age of 17. One of the best aspects of this game is how quickly it can be completed - we found that we were still having fun when we made it to the 30-minute mark and had to wrap up the game. Overall, "New Phone, Who Dis? " is an entertaining and cheeky addition to any gathering and it's a great choice for a fun and relaxed game night among young adults and adults.

dos-card-game-7-1

The Dos Card Game offers a fresh twist on the classic Uno formula, combining the familiar concept of matching numbers with a thrilling race to deplete one's cards. Designed for 2 to 4 players, it challenges individuals or teams to make strategic moves to discard cards and be the first to run out of cards in their hand. The game also introduces the call of "Dos" when there are just two cards left, adding an element of excitement to the competition.

Additionally, the Dos Card Game offers color combination bonuses when a player reaches a score of 200, adding another layer of strategy to the gameplay. The 112-card deck features bright, eye-catching colors, making it an attractive and convenient choice for traveling or impromptu gatherings. The WILD DOS and Wild # cards add an unpredictable element to the game, challenging players to adapt on the fly.

One of the key selling points of the Dos Card Game is its versatility: it can be enjoyed by children and adults alike and is suitable for players of all skill levels. Whether it's a family game night, a casual gathering with friends, or a tournament between more seasoned players, the Dos Card Game is sure to provide hours of entertainment and fun for all who play.

However, some players may find the game's reliance on basic arithmetic less engaging than the original Uno game, which had a more dynamic mix of colors and numbers. The game's relatively low rating points as compared to Uno may reflect this sentiment, as some players prefer the more complex strategy and visual appeal of the original.

In conclusion, the Dos Card Game offers a fun and strategic alternative to the classic Uno game, with its focus on basic arithmetic and color combination bonuses. The game's bright and colorful design, versatility in age groups, and convenient size make it an attractive choice for both casual and serious card game enthusiasts.

The game's hilarious and energetic atmosphere allows participants to learn more about each other, their sense of humor, and how they interpret prompts.

However, the game does require a certain level of creativity from the players, which can be a bit challenging for some.

Despite these minor drawbacks, "That Escalated Quickly" is a fantastic addition to any game collection and is sure to be a fun and engaging experience for all involved.

uno-platinum-edition-card-game-for-adults-kids-teens-game-night-premium-collectible-cards-1

I recently got to play with the Uno Platinum Edition Card Game, and I must say, it was a distinctive and exhilarating endeavor. The game captivated me with its high-quality characteristics, specifically the sturdier and weightier cards. This, therefore, makes it a more lavish alternative in comparison to the standard edition.

The holographic foil logo on the backs of the cards was a unique element, transforming the whole game into a conversation starter. The game was entertaining, with novel twists that appealed to players of various ages. Nevertheless, the diminutive size of the cards could be a bit challenging, and the embossed "UNO" on the opposite side does not make the game feel as grand as I would have expected for a premium version.

All things considered, the Uno Platinum Edition Card Game is a fantastic selection for fans of the game. However, it may require some time to get accustomed to for those who are accustomed to the standard version.

The addition of the slide zones is a fun twist, providing shortcuts that can give you an advantage or put a wrench in someone else's plans.

As with any game, there are pros and cons. While the simplicity and ease of gameplay is a definite plus, the reliance on luck means that sometimes victory comes down to chance. However, this can also be seen as an advantage, as it means that even players with less experience or strategy can still have a shot at winning.

Overall, Hasbro's Sorry! is a great choice for anyone looking for a fun, engaging, and classic game night experience. Its combination of luck, strategy, and friendly competition makes it an entertaining choice for families and friends of all ages.
