Board/card games for teens and adults

[dogsandbunnies]

We would like a new game for the Christmas season. Any recs? In the pay we have enjoyed Monopoly Deal, Exploding Kittens, Chameleon, Codebreaker, Herd Mentality etc. Teens are 14 and 16.

Past not pay!

I play shithead quite a lot with my teen, it’s a great game (even though the name puts people off) and just requires a pack of cards

Yes I love Shithead too!

Codenames - thinky word game in teams
colt express - really good fun
niagra - fun river boats
really nasty horse racing game - evil!
diamante - quick and simple

Risk

Sounds Fishy!

Sheep in disguise

Cards against humanity (family edition NOT the adult one!!). Uno!

You might enjoy Carcassone and it’s a really good price on Amazon atm.

Arkham Horror 😁 if you want something that will take up hours.

If you can get hold of one of the old Atmosfear games they're brilliant fun too. We had I think Khufu the mummy and the gate keeper.

Articulate. Great fun

Port Royal
Forbidden Island
Catan

Pit

Has anyone tried Ransom Notes? Heavily advertised at the moment, I am quite tempted.

Mind

Splendor
Jaipur (2 players only)
Bullet heart or Bullet star (but it's quite complex)

We love playing games together. Here are some favourites:
Pit - fast and furious card trading
Catan - strategy building board game
Risk - military strategy game
Goat Lords - fun card game
Oh My Pigeons - silly dice game

Saboteur is probably my favourite at the moment.
I love Rummikub too.
Bears versus babies is pretty funny though might be too young - my nephew loves Hand to Hand Wombat and Throw Throw Burrito which is by the same crowd.
Star Realms is enjoyable though only two player.

Another vote for Catan

Yes, love it with adults , there are a few words you might possibly want to remove with some teens. Good for people who are confident enough to have a go and be creatively ridiculous.

The mind
traitors
answergrams
taskmaster

Herd mentality has a Christmas expansion! We also like various uno versions, happy families, various exploding kittens, quirkle, and beat that is fun but more physical than board or card.

We play:
muffin time
flip 7
6 nimmt
crack list / splurt
hues and cues
grab the mic
shut the box
rummikub
think words
cards vs gravity
colour brain
namely

Taco cat goat cheese pizza is a real laugh. My 14 year olds love it

Skyjo is easy to learn but good fun.
