its a game of strategy, resource collection, collaboration, and competition. Quicker pace and more fun than monopoly.

This is also a brill game if you're not that good at geography 👌 the bonus is that there's loads of map expansions available which all play slightly differently, so it's got a lot of life in it!

I love the random city generator aspect of it and how city mergers are the most effective and meanest strategy in the game.

This is our go-to game with new or mixed groups. The rules are very easy to explain (takes me about a minute to cover everything), and it's casual enough that everyone can keep chatting while playing. The mix of strategy and chance makes it engaging for all skill levels and personality types.

Super fun game with high replay value

Caleb SylvestPartner & Experience Designer · Written
This is one of the best games out there to play with friends. The game has aspects of a RPG video game and classic dungeon exploration game. One unique aspect, the first phase of the game all players are generally on the same team/neutral. In the second phase, typically one player becomes the bad guy with special powers versus all other players. Examples of bad guy powers could be becoming a vampire, werewolf, or frankenstein's monster, or controlling zombies, aliens, etc etc. There are 50 different scenarios in the standard game box.

Munchkins

Munchkins is by far my favorite game out there. It takes a few hours to learn but once you and a few friends have it down, it's incredibly fun, competitive, addictive. Involves a lot of manipulation and strategy.

Every household needs this. You compete to find and list items from the pictures that fit a theme (things that start with the letter 'S') and try to find more than everyone else!
