As reviewers, we’re constantly getting new games to figure out and play. And we did get a bunch of new board games for Christmas and have played all but one so far.
Over the last 5 years we’ve posted reviews of 250+ board games, cards games, and party games. Which means we’ve also played a bunch more than that.
So we can attest that some games definitely take more work to figure out than others.

Last week we received the annual Holiday Gift Guide mailer from a great board game store in our area – Game Night Games.
I always love seeing what they include in their mailer and this year they included a number of Top 5 Games lists. So I thought it would be great to share their recommendations.
Why? Because this is their “day job”.
They’re dealing with customers every day, all day and they know what people are most interested in buying and playing. So it’s always a fun activity to see what they list.

And it’s also such a simple game.
As the box says, it’s all about “stifling superpowers, crushing careers, limiting lifetime supplies, and destroying dreams. Your imagination and creativity are the only limits on how you can ruin friends’ announcements.”
Or as we like to simply say – “Creatively squashing each others’ dreams.”

Share the enjoyment and play the games with others!
