Woo-hoo! With the colder weather upon us it’s time to gather inside more often and play board games! I got to play the games above over the weekend with family and friends. We had so much fun! I’m thrilled I found the bottom game, Compatibility, at the thrift store just last week for only $3! I noticed the Dice Tower, my favorite board game YouTube Channel, has been doing a few videos on party games lately. In one of the videos, Chris Yi mentioned Compatibility, and then I found it just a week later while thrifting. Score! We played it last night with my daughter, her husband, and son and it was quite enjoyable.

If you want some ideas for party games to buy for the upcoming holiday season where families and friends tend to gather more often and often want to do something besides just sit and chat (nothing wrong with that), watch below.

The video below is the one where I heard Chris mentioned Compatibility, below, in the video of games that didn’t make the “Top Ten Party Games.” Instead, these are the rest of the Top 100, the remaining 90.

I love that these guys share games that are little-known, besides the popular party games like Codenames and Mysterium. Watch these videos so you know what games to be on the lookout when you go thrifting.
