Imohotep: Builder of Egypt

Amazon

Unstable Unicorns

Amazon

Anything with the word unicorn in the title has to be fun. Right? This board game ($19.56 on Amazon), for ages 14 and up, was one of kickstarter's top 50 most backed projects. Assemble a unicorn army, build up your herd and play the evening away with your new friends (FYI, the unicorns are your friends now and not the humans). 

Ridiculous Expositions

Amazon

This grown-up game ($24.99) pairs seemingly innocent phrases with ones that are a bit more naughty. Pair up your party pals into two teams and start talking. The phonetic phrasing-turned saucy sayings will get more than a giggle out of your party guests. 

Happy Little Accidents

Amazon

Even though this playful pick ($19.99 on Amazon) is recommended for anyone ages 10 and up, your adult friends will get a kick out of the Bob Ross-inspired board game. Play the role of the iconic TV painter, creating your own mini masterpieces.
