Best Selling Games for Grown Ups

Toy hobbyists and game enthusiasts know very well that toys are not just for children – more so with games! Kids don’t have a monopoly of fun and excitement when it comes to playing games. We know for a fact that people remain children-at-heart in one way or another.

Of course, this notion is not something new – especially if you are an avid Mr Toys fan! Nevertheless, it’s highly unlikely that people will outgrew games as a way to entertain themselves. Even if you are not playing the game yourself, watching the players outwit each other is also a fun thing to do. Analysing the players’ moves and mistakes can give you some kind of delight which you won’t normally experience when actually playing.

Whether you choose to be the player or a mere watcher, games will be there to provide wholesome entertainment for the whole family. So if you’re tired of viewing the telly or finger-scrolling with your mobile gadget, there’s an alternative way to keep your mind entertained. But in this case, playing alone is a misnomer!

So what’s your favourite game? Is it chess, checkers, Monopoly, Scrabble, or card games? Of course, they’re the classics – who wouldn’t recognise those games? But if you’re looking for something out of the box, here are some games you may want to try out.

What Do You Meme? Aussie Edition

It’s the adult game that is taking the internet by storm! And when we say “adult game,” we really mean it’s FOR ADULTS ONLY. There are things you can’t unhear when you’ve played this game. Find out who will be crowned meme queen or king, match photo cards with caption cards, and create your own outrageously funny meme combinations. It’s the perfect excuse to call up the crew, and get everyone together for guaranteed laughs.

What’s great is that there’s an Australian version of this game!

Telestrations

In this game, each player begins by sketching a TELESTRATIONS word dictated by the roll of a die. The old fashioned sand timer may limit the amount of time you get to execute your sketch, but it certainly doesn’t limit creativity! Players must pass their sketch to the next player at the same time. They will guess what’s been drawn, which hopefully matches the original word (or does it??). The guessed word will then be passed to the next player who must try to draw the word they see — and so on.

Got curious? Why not play out this game in your next free time?

New Phone Who Dis?

Here’s another game FOR ADULTS ONLY from the same company that made What Do You Meme. “ New Phone Who Dis” is a known expression among millennials. You say it when you want to avoid unwanted conversations, requests, or questions online or via SMS. The game, however, is 100% offline. Compete with friends to create the funniest text message thread. Pair hilarious texts and replies to impress the judge and win the round.

This game is hilariously off the hook! Play at your own risk.

Anomia Game

This game is inspired by the fact that our minds are positively brimming with all sorts of random information: things to eat, pop songs, websites, etc. Under normal circumstances, it's easy enough to give an example of a frozen food, or a dog breed; but you will find that your brain works a little differently under pressure. By the way, anomia is defined as: 1) A problem with word finding or recall. 2) Chaos.

Don’t worry! It’s easy to learn, and you’ll play it over and over again.
