Draughts picks
Somewhere
to start
A few favourites from our team, sorted by who’s at the table.
Quick games are easy to pick up and play in short rounds. Settle in games take a little longer to get into.
Date night
Two of you, a drink each and a bit of friendly rivalry.
- Patchwork
Stitch the cosiest quilt from odd-shaped scraps. Calm enough to keep chatting.
- Santorini
Build towers on a Greek island and race to the top. Best of three?
- Jaipur
Two traders, one market. Sell at the right moment and win the Maharaja's favour.
- 7 Wonders Duel
Two rival civilisations, one winner. A proper challenge over a few drinks.
Friends
Catching up, with a little competition on the side.
- Codenames
Two teams, one-word clues, and guesses that get stranger every round.
- Coup
Everyone has a secret role. Bluff, steal and call each other out.
- Ticket to RideGuide →
Claim train routes across the map before someone blocks your way. One to settle into.
- Cascadia
Build a landscape and fill it with wildlife. Relaxed, so the chat keeps flowing.
Family
Simple rules and quick turns, so everyone can join in.
- DobbleGuide →
Any two cards share one symbol. Spot it first. Kids often win.
- Taco Cat Goat Cheese PizzaGuide →
Say the words, flip the cards, slap the pile. Lots of giggles.
- Outfoxed
Follow the clues and catch the pie-stealing fox, all on the same team.
- Labyrinth
The maze shifts every turn. Slide the walls, find your path, and reach the treasures first.
Colleagues
Easy to learn, and better played as a team.
- Just One
Everyone gives a one-word clue, but matching clues cancel out. An easy icebreaker.
- ArticulateGuide →
Describe as many words as you can before the timer runs out. Gets everyone shouting.
- PandemicGuide →
Four diseases, one team. Find the cures before the bill arrives.
- The Crew
A space mission played as a card game, where you can barely speak to each other.
Big group
The more of you there are, the better these get.
- Herd MentalityGuide →
Answer the way everyone else will. The odd one out gets the pink cow.
- Telestrations
Draw, guess, pass it on. Nobody needs to be good at art.
- Cash 'n' Guns
Split the loot at (foam) gunpoint. Hold your nerve or duck. Made for birthdays.
- Wavelength
One clue, one dial, and debates you'll still be having on the way home.
