When I opened this review for a game called Hundreds of Horses, I expected to have a good laugh about an awful game. The first two sentences:
It’s like a less-complicated Dixit. And all horses.
However, the author is actually fairly positive! It’s clearly not a “hobby game” and not meant for hobby gamers, but it works and can be fun. What other games fall into this category? I’ll nominate:
- Happy Salmon. What’s more fun than high fiving and running around a table?
- Spot It: Reverse spot the differences. Pure reflex game that can be explained in ten seconds
- Time’s Up!: Describe something, describe it in one word, and charades. Practically always a hit
Our group got REALLY into Love Letter. It was supposed to be a filler game but sometimes we played for hours, especially after a thinkier game.
Eventually we got a bit burned out but then they released Lovecraft Letter and boy did we get right back into it. It felt like a refreshing expansion of sorts.
Didn’t have much success with the more casual folks, tho, not everyone likes to “accuse”.
