What Board Games to Choose for a Party?

If you decide to diversify your party with a board game, then the question arises: what kind of a board game for that to choose? Today's variety of board games can confound even an experienced gambler, not to mention people, in general, from the nooks of the distant. The simplest (and at the same time cheerful) option is a game similar to all the famous Crocodile - there is no need to delve into the rules for a long time, and the fun of the whole company will be provided.

But even here there is a very large choice. There are three most popular game series of this genre: Elias, Activiti and Hat. Let's try to understand, what is their difference?

In the game Elias from the company Tactic you need to explain the word from the extended card to your team-mate for the allotted time. And the word number from the card must match the number of the field on which your chip stands. The required number of players is indicated as from 4 to 12, the cost of the basic set starts from 900 rubles and is available in it 3200 words. The game has many versions (board games Crazy version, Brilliant version, Party) and compact options for playing on the road.

Game Activiti allows you to use not only descriptions, but also all available descriptions: facial expressions, images and verbal communication. Each cell on the playing field is painted in a certain color and has a symbol - drawing, explanation or pantomime. The color of the field indicates which word to explain should be selected, and the symbol predefines the form in which the explanation should proceed. Each card has a number that determines the complexity of the words in it. The team must guess the word for a minute in a minute, as a result of which it will be able to advance to the division ahead. The team, the first to reach the finish cell, will win. The manufacturer of the game - Piatnik, in the basic version of 440 cards with six words each, the required number of players - from 3 to 16, the basic set will cost you 1,450 rubles. The game also has several versions (Everything is possible, TikTakBum, road, etc.).

But the board game The hat is the game of the Russian publisher The Right Games. Unlike the previous ones, this is not a team game, here everyone is for himself. The player pulls out the word from the hat and explains it in a certain way (explains, draws or shows gestures) for the allotted (in each case, different) time, and in case of a successful outcome, the player who has explained the word and his guesses will receive victory points. The game's feature is that the player can complicate his mission (for example, reduce the allotted time), then there will be more victory points. But if he could not explain the word, then the player will get a fine. The basic version includes 4 sets of words (24 words each), but you can always purchase additional sets, or download them from the official website of the game. The cost of the basic version will be from 510 rubles, the required number of players - from 3 to 16. Other versions of the game has not yet.
