Welcome back to our blog! At Cherry Hill Apartments, we’re always excited to help our residents make the most of their Arlington, VA home. To finish off this month of blogging, we’re suggesting three board games that will liven up your next game night — should you be the one hosting it!
The following game titles and descriptions were found on boardgamegeek.com:
Like Cards Against Humanity? Try Million Dollars, But...
“Million Dollars, But… The Game (MDB) puts your morals and imagination to the test, posing the question, ‘What would you do for a million dollars?’ Players create scenarios by combining a trigger and a rule card to showcase what they would or wouldn't do for a big hunk of cash. (For example, a million dollars, but… every time you see a store having a sale, you poop your pants a little bit.) The best part of the game occurs when everyone debates the scenarios that have been presented to the judge: ‘Does it include online store sales or just in-person sales?’, or ‘How much poop are we talking: a rabbit pellet or an uncomfortable amount?’”
Enjoy playing strategy games? Play Survive: Escape from Atlantis!
“Survive is a cutthroat game where players seek to evacuate their pieces from an island that is breaking up, while remembering where their highest-valued pieces are located to maximize their score. An island made up of 40 hex-tiles is slowly sinking into the ocean (as the tiles are removed from the board). Each player controls ten people (valued from 1 to 6) that they try and move towards the safety of the surrounding islands before the main island finally blows up. Players can either swim or use boats to travel but must avoid sea serpents, whales and sharks on their way to safety.”
Want to play Battleship with more people? Gather your friends for what we like to call “Battleship on Steroids!” It’s Captain Sonar!
“In Captain Sonar, you and your teammates control a state-of-the-art submarine and are trying to locate an enemy submarine in order to blow it out of the water before they can do the same to you. Every role is important, and the confrontation is merciless. Be organized and communicate because a captain is nothing without his crew: the Chief Mate, the Radio Operator, and the Engineer.”
