Hysterically fun games for a girlfriends' night out
Think hard for a moment. When was the last time you had a girlfriend night with your girlsquad? Including wrong games, wine, crying with laughter, karaoke scenes, the whole shebang? Right. Too long ago. And it's almost weekend, so it's about time.
So huphup, fingers to WhatsApp, create group chat, invite your best friends for this weekend and enjoy the fact that staying at home is the new going out. Here's what nonsensical games are on the menu....
Poop game
Oooh guys, how I laughed myself to death the other day during this game. Everyone puts their cards on the pile as quickly as possible and in the right order: toilet turd, toilet paper, washing hands. When the player can no longer play a card, he presses the fart cushion as quickly as possible. The loser sticks a plastic turd on his head; you're not going to get it all flatter but for an evening of girl time, this game is hy-ste-ric.
The Werewolves of Wakkerdam
The áller best role-playing game on earth for when you are with a somewhat larger group (8 to 20 people). The game is about the village of Wakkerdam that is besieged by werewolves. Each player assumes a certain role shown on their card. The civilians win when they have unmasked all the werewolves, the werewolves win when they have devoured all the civilians. I get that it all sounds pretty vague, but trust me: it really is completely fantastic once you get into it.
The Who's the Mole game
Don't expect treasure hunts and executions in your backyard (now that's a shame), but do expect a clock that counts down from 45 minutes and within that time you and your fellow players have to crack a code with the cards of the board game. Note: your neighbour left or right is the Mole and goes out of its way to sabotage. For 15 euri, quite a nice bargain.
Risk
The mother of evening games. Along with Settlers of Catan, although I think I found that more complicated again. If I don't win at Risk, I throw the whole board off the table if I have to. Seriously unsporting and really only with this game. It will cost you 30 euros, but then you have the best board game ever, which you will enjoy for hours, days, a lifetime. Cute but true: PERFECT for that girlfriends' night out.
Stef Stunt pilot
Not higher maths, but kneiter funny with a wine on the right. The idea is simple: you play with two to four players. The game consists of a kind of cross with four seesaws and chicken holders. In the middle of the cross, Stef flies by in his plane and, as a sort of ‘seesaw’, you can push him up. By doing this at the right time, you can send Stef off on other people's chickens pretty well. Smile.
SingStar
Just in case you have an extra four wines in your gullet. Must have a Playstation in the house, by the way, and if not, a karaoke playlist on YouTube will do the trick.
30 Seconds
Finally, a true classic. You play in teams. One of you tries to describe as many of the five terms on a card as possible within 30 seconds. Note: you always get an over-fanatic team with arguments among yourselves in this. ‘HOW COME YOU DON'T DO THIS AND THAT? HOW CAN I GUESS SO JEEEEZUS!’ 30 Seconds is always a good idea. Not just during that girlfriend night, but also on birthdays, on winter sports or at your mother-in-law's house.
P.S.: Andne, just a reminder: if you want to have that girlfriend night this weekend, all games are available to order online. One touch tonight, delivered tomorrow. Phone aside and enjoy genuine conviviality. HAVE FUN!
