Friends Trivia Game

Another week, another Friends game. This one (obviously) is a trivia game. It has a fun, tricksy little way of keeping score, but really it would be just as much fun (or maybe more so) without that. And it would certainly be more fun without the Charades option, which we ditched halfway through. 

I won (no surprise there, since I practically have every episode memorized). What was a surprise was that I didn’t know all the answers! Only most of them. 

I think the best iteration of this game would be for travel (just asking and answering the questions, no scorekeeping or Charades). It would be a great way to pass the time on a long car trip. 

The One With All The Cards

I wasn’t sure we were going to enjoy this game. It’s an off-brand, Friends-themed Cards Against Humanity, which is kind of like naughty Mad Libs, which is fine for a group of (naughty) adults to play, but not great with a middle-school child. (We once had a Harry Potter-themed Cards Against Humanity deck, and we only ever tried playing it one time. It was a bad combo: it ruined both the sweet goodness of the magical theme at the same time as it ruined the terrible hilarity of a terrible game for terrible people.)

But we are all Friends fans, and after six months or so of Game Nights we are getting to the point where we are scraping the bottom of the game cabinet, so we gave this one a try. Before we started I was sure we would end up deciding to get rid of it, but I was wrong. We all enjoyed it. We didn’t have much time to play today (I think we only played three rounds) but we all would have been happy to keep going if we’d had the time.
