Anybody have the “board game stash cupboard” ? I counted around 30 board games and card games and half dozen puzzles. I think my favourites are Settlers of Catan and Risk, but the one game that everyone comes back to is UNO for some reason.

I think it’s more fun in a large group gathering that’s more casual.

The new UNO game has draw 10 and other weird cards in it. Great for big gatherings.

We have a lot of quiz games and classics.

    It’s called UNO No Mercy. It’s ridiculous.

UNO Flip is one of my favourite card games, it’s so chaotic. Got any games good for 2 players that you can reccommend?

  Actually UNO is kind of unbeatable, like nothing I have played compares to it really.

UNO is a classic. Never gets boring. Cards against humanity gets pulled out a fair bit at friend game gatherings as well.

  We have cards against but it loses its lustre when you get used to the card combinations so the replay value goes right down.
  
  For our UNO games, cheating is kind of encouraged, so some of the fun is trying to catch someone out.

    This is why you add Crabs Adjust Humidity to the deck

Yeeeess. Just the classics - chess, backgammon, cribbage, mahjong and ordinary cards. Oh, and Squatter (inherited from siblings - dates back to the 1970s). Zillions of jigsaws as I like doing these and have good lighting over the jigsaw table so can be done after dark.

We’ve got lots of games like various Uno ones, Throw Throw Avocado, Throw Throw Burrito, Exploding Kittens, What Do You Meme, the hit each other with fake swords one and stuff like that. I like good old fashioned monopoly but nobody else is interested. There’s a heap I haven’t looked at in ages, I probably should.

Totally! And I have an accidental duplicate set of Exploding Kittens to gift some day.
