ILiveInFlipFlops Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Every year I buy the family a new game to play on New Year's Day, and every year I agonize over the decision. You'd think it would eventually get easier, but it doesn't :willy_nilly: There are just so many great games out there! This year, I have it narrowed down to Citadels or One Night Ultimate Werewolf. They're roughly the same price. Someone needs to make this decision for me! Can anyone weigh in on which game we should choose? Here are a couple of factors in the decision: Two adults, one DD13, one DD10 DD10 has a little bit of a short attention span, so gets restless when others' turns go too long, but can hang in there for a longer game. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Although you *can* play Ultimate Werewolf with 4 players, I personally think it's a lot more fun with at least 5 or 6. Considering you can get eliminated quickly, it can be a bit of a bummer. That's just my opinion, though! I've never played Citadels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 One Night. We play it with 6 people, but the 7 year old doesn't really get it so he's often "teamed" with someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 One night is good with many players. It doesn't really work with just 4. For a long time citadels was one of the few games youngest would play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILiveInFlipFlops Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Yeah, now that I think about it, youngest DD really enjoyed One Night, but she played with a big group of kids at co-op. At home, it would be four at most, and possibly only three sometimes. I think I'm going to go with Citadels. I found it at our local B&N, and I have a gift card and a coupon to use, so that helps :D Thanks for the feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedClams Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Not on your list, but we just got Pandemic. It's great. 2-4 players, cooperative, 45 minutes-ish for a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Last year for Christmas I made family members a personal copy of werewolf. I took pictures of everyone and photoshopped them. For example I made Dh the werewolf card, so I photoshopped him to look like a werewolf. My brother was, "the village idiot". Eldest was the "minion" and youngest was, "the trouble maker". I then printed the out, lamintatd them, and glued them onto thick card stock. Every family then got a box with the game in it. :) The year before that I made a family version of, "love letter". I must admit I'm not in the mood to make another family game this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
