“Pie in the face”

The game is outrageously simple, but we could not help but put in our rating at least one, which depends entirely on chance. Such games are usually the most amusing.

The mechanism is simple. You need to insert your face into a cardboard frame, which is held on a plastic rig with a palm pulled away, on which you can put a cake, ice cream, or you can just add whipped cream, it all depends on your imagination.

There is a wolf, which each player spins in turn, what number fell out – so many times the participant must check his luck, namely, to scroll the knobs on the installation. Who will be the first to get the “pie in the face” – no one knows. The game can be played both by two or a large company.

“Who am I?”

This game is best played by a large group. Each player puts a plastic headband on his forehead, and a card is attached to it. And it is attached so that the participant does not know what character or object he fell out.

The game goes in a circle, everyone has exactly one minute to ask questions. But there is one nuance: questions must be asked in such a way that they can be answered “yes” or “no”.

“Swintus”

This board game is similar to UNO, but its rules are more sophisticated and interesting.

The rules are as follows: players sit down in a circle, each of the deck is given eight cards, in the center of the circle puts the deck face up. The host turns over the top card, and the game begins.

Everyone goes in turn, laying out one card at a time, and the card coming out of the game must match the color or number with the top card in the deck.

There are special types of cards, such as the Tihokhryun. The player who lays out this card silences all participants until he comes down again in the next round.

And before laying down your penultimate card, don’t forget to shout the word “Piggy”, otherwise you’ll have to pick up three penalty cards.

“Streetcar of Death”

The name of this game is not very euphonious, but it does not become less interesting.

At the head sits the leader of the game – the shooter. On either side of him are two teams. In front of the gunner is laid out a card, which depicts a streetcar, and in front of the streetcar – bifurcated rails.

The players have three decks of cards: cards with good guys, cards with bad guys and secret cards. Each team places two do-gooders on their rails, one randomly and one deliberately. After that, each team puts one scoundrel of their choice on their opponents’ rails, such a scoundrel that the gunner does not hesitate to run him over at the first opportunity.

After that, each team blindly puts one secret card on any of the characters. When all the cards are laid out, the most interesting part begins: the two teams have to argue with each other and help the archer to decide on his choice.

“Bunker”

There is a disaster in the world, and you need to decide who from your company will get into the saving bunker, because all of them will not fit there. The catastrophe is determined by the card that first enters the game, it describes the conditions of the collapse.

Each player gets a card with characteristics, there are your profession, biological data, skills, equipment. The catch is that absolutely every player has his own “skeleton in the closet”: someone has no leg, someone suffers from persecution mania, and someone is a maniac.

Each round, players take turns talking about one of their characteristics, trying to present themselves in the best light in front of the others. After each round, the most useless player is eliminated by a vote. Victory depends on your luck and persuasive skills.

“Imaginarium.”

At first everything looks very simple, in front of the players is laid out a map, each player is given a figure, which will need to walk on the cells and eventually get to the finish line. But the further into the forest, the more wood.

Before each kona, players are given six random cards in their hands, and one presenter is chosen from all the participants. The presenter comes up with an association for one of his cards, names it aloud, and places that card closed on the table.

The other players choose one card from their cards that matches the association of the presenter. After that, all the cards are shuffled and placed face down, and the participants try to guess the card of the leader by voting.

The presenter’s task is to have some of the players guess his card. After the vote, the scoring begins and the players move their pieces to the finish line.
