IS THAT NORMAL? Podcast – Episode 25 NOTES

Thanks for joining us for our 25th EPISODE!! As we enter our seventh month of this podcast, we thought we’d have some fun and offer a bunch of great family game ideas.

We love playing games with our families. Here are some of our very favorites:

  1. PANDEMIC – a board game about stopping global viral infections. Currently, a very relevant game.
  2. PUERTO RICO – a resource management board game where you have to settle the island of Puerto Rico and export goods.
  3. BALDERDASH – A creative game of bluffing that always ends up with some great laughs.
  4. THE INDEX CARD GAME (Also known at TELESTRATIONS) – this drawing and writing game always ends with surprises.
  5. APPLES TO APPLES – The classic category game.
  6. CATCHPHRASE APP – This mobile version of the popular game can be found on Google Play or Apple App Store.

We also talked about games that anyone can play. Here’s some we like:

  1. UNO/UNO ATTACK – Getting rid of those cards together!
  2. EXPLODING KITTENS – A hilarious unique card game.
  3. THE RESISTANCE – Find the spies among you in this dystopian future game.
  4. BANANAGRAMS – Like Scrabble but better…and faster.

And lastly we talked about more active games, like…

  1. KAN JAM – Throwing frisbees into cans. It’s the best.
  2. SARDINES – A more uncomfortable version of hide and seek.
  3. WASHERS – What else would you do with washers, but throw them into boxes.

And lastly, we mentioned one of Mark’s family’s favorites – CRANIUM HULLABALOO – which we found out is a popular, out-of-print game. We’re not sure it’s worth the online price tag, but it is fun!

So pick a game and plan a party with your family. And, as always, Be Abnormal!!
