Game nights can be a great way to spend an evening. They’re inexpensive, entertaining, and can help start up some interesting conversations, to say the least. Here are a few games guaranteed to provide you and your friends with an enjoyable night.

Apples to Apples
Description: Apples to Apples is made up of two decks of cards: “things” and “descriptions.” Players take turns as “referee,” where they place a “description” card in the center of the table. The remaining players then choose the “Thing” card that most appeals to the “Description” card that has been played. The Referee chooses the best answer, and thus crowns the winner of that round. Once a player has won a predetermined number of cards, that player wins. Cards are humorous and topical, making Apples to Apples a different game each and every time it’s played.

• Players: 4-10
• Playing Time: 30 minutes

Taboo
Description: Players team up in twos to guess phrases while their opponents watch the timer. One teammate describes a word or phrase on the card in front of them without using five common words also shown on the card while the other teammate has to guess. The describing team gets a point for each card they guess successfully and their opponents get one for each card they pass on or loss by saying one of the forbidden words or phrases. Teams alternate in this fast moving party game. Teams need to be creative to find the right way to make their teammate guess the answer, making Taboo a fun and challenging game couples will laugh about long after the answers are given.

• Players: 4-10
• Playing Time: 20 minutes

Cranium


Description: Players compete in four different sections: “Creative Cat” – in which one teammate sculpts or draws (sometimes with eyes closed!), “Data Head” – which consists of trivia, “Word Worm” – which has players unscrambling words, spelling, or guessing definitions, and “Star Performer” – in which a player must whistle a song or act out a clue. Cranium’s challenges take from a host of other games, making it virtually impossible for one person to dominate throughout. This is a game that draws on different strengths, so a diverse group of couples can still get together and compete on the same level.

• Players: 4-16
• Playing Time: 60 minutes or more

The Settlers of Catan
Description: Players build settlements, cities, and roads, while trying to achieve the most victory points to dominant Catan and ultimately win the game. Raw materials such as wood, sheep, and bricks are “collected” based on the roll of the die to build up each player’s civilization. Trading among players and various ways to collect victory points make this a unique game that will appeal to everyone from the notice gamer to the most steadfast player.

• Players: 3-4
• Playing Time: 90 minutes

Mille Bornes
Description: In this French card game, drivers compete to achieve 1,000 km, while their opponents hand them hazards such as flat tires, running out of gas, and accidents along the way. Players must achieve a green light to “go” before they can lay down milestones and begin accumulating points. When another player hands them a hazard card, they must “fix” the hazard and get another green light before they can collect points. Mille Bornes is a fun and pleasant alternative to more traditional card games.

• Players: 2-6
• Playing Time: 45 minutes
