Game nights are slowly coming back which is a great excuse to gift them to your friends and family! With so many new games coming out every year we have put together our favorites in our board game guide for 2022.
Wordle: The Party Game
Love Wordle? Gather friends and family together to enjoy the favorite word-guessing game in real life with Wordle: The Party Game! Inspired by the digital version of the Wordle game, this analog game for 2-4 players delivers the classic Wordle gameplay as an exciting party game. Each round, a player designated as the Wordle Host writes down a Secret Word. Just like the original Wordle game, players try to guess it in the fewest tries (six max). But in this game, players are competing against others. The fewer tries a player needs, the fewer points they score. The player with the fewest points at the end of the game wins!

Guess Who?
Bring back childhood memories of playing the classic Guess Who? game, and introduce this edition of the original guessing game to your kids and grandkids. With the Guess Who? board game, each player chooses a mystery character card and then using yes or no questions, they try to figure out the other player’s mystery person. The game features 2 double-sided character sheets including one with superhero characters. The character sheets easily slide in and out of the frame, making the game a breeze to set up. And the convenient fold-up case makes it a great choice for on-the-go play. The Guess Who? 2-player game is a great indoor activity for kids ages 6 and up.
