Looking for some great games to play? Well here are 10 great games to play with friends or family! Enjoy.

  1. Catan

Building villages and earning points…  What’s not to love?  This game allows 4 players or 4 teams and is super easy to pick up.  And with sabotaging your peers, what’s not to love?

  1. Twister

If you have any flexibility, this game is for you.  The amount of people that can play the game is dependent on how many people you can fit on the mat!  Good luck :)

  1. Uno

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of screaming “UNO!”  This game is beloved by both children and adults.  The only question is do you play by the rules assigned to you or create your own!

  1. CodeNames

This game is an awesome word association game.  It pins two teams against one another and challenges the players to figure out the mystery word with only a one word clue.

  1. Bananagrams

As long as you have enough sets, an unlimited number of people can play!  Create words and connect them!  It’ll look like a crossword puzzle by the end.  So memorize those two letter words to help you win!

  1. Monopoly

A cut throat game that can start with friends and end with enemies.  This classic game is all great fun until the tables turn and people get sent to jail.  Play at your own risk.

  1. Unstable unicorns

Watch out because this game can be vicious.  The unicorns may look cute, but they will inspire an insatiable need to win within each player.  A single deck allows for 8 players. 

  1. B.S.

All you need is a 52 card deck and the ability to lie.  This game is best when played with multiple players, around 8.  Just make sure no one calls you out on your bull.

  1. Cards against Humanity

A great, light hearted game that will leave everyone giggling.  Although, I will say, once you’ve played the deck through once, the cards become a little less funny.

  1. Truth or Dab

Have you ever seen an episode of Hot Ones and wondered what the last dab is really like?  Well in the game of Truth or Dab, you will be forced to take a dab of the spicy hot sauce at least once.  This game is great fun with cards that prompt you to spill all the tea.

Howdy! I’m Gabriela Gomez, an avid reader who is interested in all areas of publishing and writing. And reading of course! I’m the Editor-in-Chief; I currently oversee all the publishing of articles for the Her Campus at TAMU chapter. I am overjoyed to read all the members’ articles and make any corrections that will help to elevate the article. I have been with Her Campus at TAMU since my freshman year. The first year I was a general member on the Writing and Editing committee. During that first year, I wrote a total of 23 articles and was always finding new ways to help. For my second year, I worked as the Senior Editor, publishing more than 80 articles and writing 38 articles. Now in my second semester of junior year, I have implemented a new pitch process for better organization and cleanest, I have already published more than 170 articles, and I have written 16 articles and will continue writing more! Besides working as the Editor-in-Chief, I am a dedicated student at Texas A&M studying Biomedical Sciences. I am also obtaining a minor in both English and Spanish. While not studying diligently, I work in a research lab grinding away, trying to get my name on some research papers (fingers crossed). In my free time, I read, obviously. I am also on the hunt for the best latte to ever bless this earth and love a good game of chess!
