0:45:45 Just Plain Fun
In no particular order, we picked five different kinds of games that always bring the fun.
Trio (from Happy Camper)
You never thought a memory-and-deduction game could be so much fun! This hits the table super quickly, as long as you have at least three players. The set-collection element is part of what keeps everyone engaged, along with the revealing of information to deduce where certain sets of cards are. It’s our family’s favorite game.
