Quiplash XL: Apples to Apples for the 21st Century

Image
Quiplash XLdeviates from our usual table top game theme. This web-based, TV-projected game is unrivaled as a large group party game. It is similar to Apples to Apples, but everything is faster-paced and digital format. 
Your party host will pull up the game on a TV screen and a game code will show up. Anyone in the room (or actually anyone on earth) with the code can enter it at jackbox.tv on their smartphone. From there, players join and give themselves a nickname. Because answers can get exceptionally raunchy, some players opt for anonymity. But you can’t stay anonymous for very long as other players will quickly figure out who is who.
Like Apples to Apples, Quiplash rewards you based on funny answers to hypothetical questions. Or more precisely, players in your group are more likely to award points for responses that are creative and relate to the group itself. Inside jokes and current events tend to score better than average. We find that just as in games like Balderdash, the more …

Mayday! Mayday! meets Mumford Brewing

Image
Mayday! Mayday! is an epic social deduction game where all players are flight crewmembers aboard flight LK-886 when the pilot suddenly dies. Heart attack? Murder? The crew believes there are infiltrators amongst them!  At the start of the game, one or two people in your group will be secretly assigned the roles of infiltrators while the majority of the group will be the honest crewmembers.  The honest team wins the game if they get all the honest crewmembers into the cockpit.  However, if just one single infiltrator gets in the cockpit, the game ends (boom)!

Note: For sensitivity reasons, this game is not distributed in the United States (as you can imagine). Thus, I had to make it myself with cards (hence the stick figures drawings in my photo).  Nevertheless, this is an excellent game and an excellent addition to the social deduction game genre.

How does it compare to The Resistance?  There is more information on the board in this game, thus there is more deduction and less acting tha…

One Night Ultimate Werewolf + Too Much Beer

Image
Too much beer? Is that really in the title? Well let me break this down for you. During game night, we tasted Ballast Point Mango Even Keel, Boulevard Love Child, The Bruery Eight Maids-a-Milking, Stone Arrogant Bastard - Bigger Longer & Uncut,  Delirium Tremens, Ommegang Game Of Thrones Valar Dohaeris, Cantillion Iris, Stone Enjoy By 10/31, Coronado Punk' In Drublic, and Jester King's Biere De Miel. It's safe to assume game night was going to be a blast no matter what game we played.
We decided to go with One Night Ultimate Werewolf (ONUW), which many say is the best party/social deduction game of all time. I still think The Resistance is better; however, this is a great game, especially if you are looking for something new. ONUW is a social deduction game for up to 10 players where everyone gets a role: One of the Werewolves, the tricky Troublemaker, the helpful Seer, or one of a dozen different characters, each with a special ability. In the course of a single nigh…
