Games for 4 people

[Rhi86]

We're off on holiday with another couple next week.
I'd love to hear some suggestions for games to take with us for the evenings please.

We've really enjoyed Chameleon and Balderdash in the past, but open to all suggestions (apart from really long games like Monopoly).

Addictive ones also good!

Thank you all!

Cards against humanity is really funny, bit rude in places but good for a laugh. Or Uno

Naked twister?

5 second rule is a good game.

Sock game

Ticket to ride

taco cat goat cheese pizza

Cards against humanity is utter shite. Don't take that.

Exploding Kittens is good

If you're 7 maybe.

Mapominoes

We bought rapid rumble for the kids but the adults played it for far longer and got far too competitive

Rummikub is fun.

Card games - shithead, blackjack and cheat are easy enough.

There's a game on phones called Jack in a box. Quite good.

Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza

Happy Salmon

6 second scribbles

@ToniGreen you suggested 5 second rule 🤣 take it you've never played exploding kittens?

Yeah i played it with some 7 year olds who cried when they lost. Cards were bent.

5 second rule is marginally more cerebral

We will have to disagree 🤣 at least you need to be tactical with exploding kittens. Can really mess up the other players too.

5 second rule though. Inanely shouting out words. No thanks.

Pandemic is also a good collaborative game if you've space and time. Depends on the type of holiday

Pandemic is a great call! Takes about an hour once you've learned the rules. Very similar but slightly shorter and much easier is Forbidden Island. We love co-operative games! (This is where all the players are a team trying to "beat the game.")

We also like Port Royal. Cheap and portable.

Rummikub, Rummikub Word, Upwords, Rapidough, Honeycombs and Sequence are our favourites. Also “Oh Hell” which is a card game. Google it for the rules.

You can't beat Articulate and Pictionary imo. Card game Pig is hilarious especially after a few drinks.

Mexican Train

Mexican Train Dominoes.

Thank you so much for all of these suggestions so far! Think you've sorted me out for many future birthday gifts too!

For a 4 adult holiday I would take Cascadia, Azul, Photosynthesis and Splendor if luggage space allowed.

If luggage space limited - azul and splendor are available in a smaller sized travel version. Deep Sea Adventure is a fun game that packs up not much bigger than a pack of cards, and Ages of Civilisation is another that's good fun with a smsll box size.
