Looking for a good new game to play, but short on cash? Andrew and Anitra discuss a variety of games that can be had cheaply (under $20), including one that simply needs pen and paper!What we played recently:
Anomia
Duple
Celebrity – this is a party game that simply requires pens, paper, and a container for the slips of paper. Wikipedia has the rules more or less as we played it.
Tzolk’in: The Mayan Calendar
New York 1901
The kids had friends over during the Superbowl and played:
Mmm! several times. Loudly.
Don’t Break the Ice
Apples to Apples Jr.
