Which Board Game Should You Play

Which Board Game Should You Play?

Life's a game... So are Monopoly and Checkers! For more than 4,600 years we've looked to board games to entertain and delight us, to ignite friendly competition and help us share in a laugh with the people we love. Let the stars help you choose which game should be the star of your next game night. Ready? Let's roll. 

Aries

A graphic of what comes with Scattergories: an hourglass, a 26 sided letter die, the writing sheet, shield, and topics cards.

Scattergories

There are few things more fun than arguing with your friends about what actually fits within the topics on the cards with the letters you're given. The chaos that ensues is that which only this fire sign can cause. It's reliable and fun, much like every Aries you've ever met.

Capricorn

A monopoly board in play. The car is on Park Place, where a house has been purchased. Monopoly money of all amounts is scattered on the board.

Monopoly

The sign that does the most is naturally the game that does the most. Much like your average Capricorn, Monopoly is what you could call 'ol faithful'. The game keeps you busy from start to finish, and is persistent in all of its pursuits (you know, getting you to buy property... or sending you to jail.) No matter what, you're a staple at family game night.

Scorpio

A hand comes in from the left, taking a side piece from the fourth row from the bottom, it is pulled 1/3 of the way out of the stack. There as misc. Jenga pieces strewn around the table

Jenga

A game of skill, determination, and ambition - the primary traits of a true Scorpio. With an objective to outmatch your opponents, you'll use your calm demeanor to stack the odds in your favour. You're always hoping things won't fall apart, but you're ready to rebuild when they do. 

Sagittarius

Scrabble

You are always up for a challenge, and you need to be mentally stimulated. Scrabble shakes things up by keeping you and your friends on your toes, whether you know it or not. Whether you're racking up points, or making the most of the tiles you have you know you're going to have a good time
