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…

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 …

#1 Pandemic Legacy vs #1 Sculpin

Battle of the Best in the Business:
#1 Game on BoardGameGeek (objective): Pandemic Legacy vs #1 Favorite IPA & Variation (subjective): Pineapple Sculpin

Is this really the #1 Game of All Time? It is according to the largest board game site in the world.  Pandemic Legacy is an epic cooperative campaign game with an overarching story played through 12-24 sessions. At the beginning, the game starts very similar to basic Pandemic where your team of disease-fighting specialists races against the clock to travel around the world treating disease and researching cures for each plague before they get out of hand.  During the campaign, new rules and components will be introduced, which will require you to permanently alter the components of the game!  This includes writing on cards, ripping them up, or putting permanent stickers on the board.  If you're into story lines like me (hence my love of TIME Stories), this is TIME Stories but with even more action and strategy.  I haven't fin…
