Roll for Initiative

I am not much of a board game player, however, there are some which I return to again and again. My favorite of these games is Secret Hitler. I enjoy Secret Hitler because I like games where you are forced to lie, even though I am an absolutely atrocious liar. However, the camaraderie you form with those you trust, only to have that same friendship ripped away in an instant when a player reveals themselves to be Hitler is…chef’s kiss. The second board game I play a lot is Monopoly. Monopoly is a controversial subject at my home, mainly because it takes so long and the late game is less fun than the rest of the game, however I love it for the early game moments. When a player is negotiating properties in order to form a monopoly it’s just fun. A card game I enjoy is Uno. It is a classic. I love playing it on roadtrips because it is fun, random, and everyone knows how to play it. The penultimate game I will write about is Dungeons and Dragons, not because I play it a lot or because I love it but because I just don’t play many board/card games. When I have played DND I have had a great time when it is chaotic and messy and a miserable time when it is narrative driven. Finally, I really enjoy the jackbox games. These games, I will readily acknowledge are video games, however at their core they are just card games which are played through phones. I enjoy these because they are easy to understand, rich in variety, and great for parties.
