From Clue, being the most notable and accessible, to How to Host a Murder, an engrossing theater like simulation. Social deduction games in general have been enjoying a great many offe...

Looking up and finding shapes in the clouds can be a fun thing to do on a lazy afternoon. The ancient Greeks were so beholden with this pastime activity that they wrote a play about it back in 423 BC. It’s true. Did you know the word “nephelococcygia” is the act of finding shapes in the clouds? I bet you didn’t.

Cloud Control is a game for 3 to 10 players...

“I drank a fish smoothie, and now I have diabooties. As a result, I’m suffering from swollen hands, burning pee, and my toes have fallen off.” is the kind of thing you might say while playing Death Wish. I don’t actually have diabooties. That’s not a real thing.
Death Wish is a game for up to eight players, where the winner is the first person to die. The way to die is to be the first person to collect a certain number of skulls on Disease cards, with the recommended wi...
Knee Jerk caught me by surprise, in a good way. At first glance I thought it would be similar to Apples to Apples (or Cards Against Humanity), but thankfully it breathes a breath of fresh air into the card-based party game genre. I’ve seen far too many copy cats and Knee Jerk, while being a little similar, really stands on its own and does its own thing. Check out the Kickstarter campaign and back the project today.
Knee Jerk delivers a lot of fun in a small, card deck...
