You’re here because:
(1) Board games are cool now and you’re dipping your toes into it or
(2) You’re a proud analog gamer looking for “party game” evergreens to add to your collection.
Either way, board games are back and we’re here for it!
As we step into the golden era of modern board games, it’s easy to get lost in the thrills of what’s new and what’s hot. Perhaps you’ve started with trading sheep for wood in Catan, then progressed into throwing molotov cocktails at Fatties in Zombicide. Or perhaps you’ve already gone down the rabbit hole and are chomping at the bits for Life in Reterra, The Vale of Eternity, or Dune: War for Arrakis. Whatever board gamer level you’re at right now, I’m pretty sure of one thing—you want your friends and family to get bitten by the bug too!
Luckily for you, I’m here to tell you to hold your horses! Do not, I repeat, do not bust out Last Light or Twilight Imperium 4th Edition. At least not yet! Ease your potential gaming group into the hobby with an effective little trick.
Start with dexterity games.
Dexterity games are the orange juice of games. They’re accessible to everybody, regardless of age or gender (or sexual orientation, what have you). They’re easy, they’re extremely fun, they create unforgettable moments, and most importantly, they have simple rules.
The trick here is to reintroduce your friends and family to the nostalgia of having a blast while gathered around the table—mobile phones down and the TV off. Keep it as a reminder of the fun indoor activities can bring, if you will. The atmosphere is pumped with competition, everyone’s excited, and the memories created can be an addicting re-introduction to the simple joys of non-digital gaming.
We're happy to share with you board game recommendations we stand by!
Here are 5 dexterity games (a.k.a. party games) that you should get for your next get together:
1. Junk Art.
Imagine building the tallest tower of cards while balancing a superhero rhinoceros on top. You heard that right—there’s a superhero and it’s a rhino! Rhino Hero is a laugh-out-loud experience that's perfect for kids and adults alike. As players take turns adding cards to the tower, the suspense builds. Will Rhino Hero stay steady, or will the tower come crashing down? It’s a silly game, and oh what fun!

3. Ice Cool.
In this penguin-themed adventure (and penguins are SO CUTE), players flick their penguin pieces around a school setting, trying to snag fish and avoid getting caught by the hall monitor. Yes, flick! A lot of flicking til your fingers hurt—but in the best way possible! It's a wacky race that'll have you screaming and laughing! While Ice Cool is in fact a kid's game, it's actually a blast for adults too!
4. Flick 'em Up!
Saddle up for some Wild West fun! Players flick (it’s still flicking but a different type of flicking) wooden discs to shoot at opponents' cowboys. Stories unfold as you embark on daring missions and complete challenging scenarios. Whether you're a sharpshooter or a beginner, Flick 'em Up! promises a rootin'-tootin' good time! Yee-haw!
5. Bungee Table.
Otherwise known as premium sling puck, Bungee Table is a category on its own. It’s fun. It’s addicting. It brings a whole new level of excitement to your tabletop adventures! Using elastic bands, players propel wooden pucks into their opponent's side, aiming for victory by clearing all their pucks. It's a high-speed showdown where every move counts! With its electrifying gameplay, you will always end up playing “Just one more game!” Bungee Table is guaranteed to bring laughter, excitement, and unforgettable high-fives to your family game nights and friendly gatherings.
