You do have the experience like this: go to a restaurant and eat out with friends, but you guys don't talk much and just phub each others. This is so awkward, right? But if you go to a board game restaurant, you can play games, talk about the games, and also enjoy the meal. It's a perfect way to avoid awkward situation. So, this time I'm about to introduce some awesome board games in case you don't know what to play next time.

🌠My Recommendation🌠

Kakerlaken Poker (Chinese translation: 德國蟑螂)

The main reason why I recommend this game is that the rules is easy to understand. Compared with other complicated games such as Inception or The Princes of FlorrenceKakerlaken Poker makes player more easily to concentrate on the game instead of wasting lots of time on understanding the rules. Besides, this game won't take too much time in one round. If you just wanna relax but don't have much time, Kakerlaken Poker will be your best choice!

📌Material: 64 cards, 8 kinds of card which are bat, fly, cockroach, rat, toad, spider, stink bug and scorpion. Each kind has 8 cards.

📌How many people: 2~6 (I recommend with 4~6 people)

📌Preparing to play: Shuffle the deck and divide the cards equally to all players, if the cards con't be divided equally, then put the rest of cards away. 

📌How to play: On one turn, the starter(just choose one of the players) need to take one card from his/her hands, lay it face down on the table, declare a type of critters, e.g., "This is a spider.", and slide it to another player. The player receiving the card either:

A. Accepts the card, guesses it's "true" or "false", and reveals the card. If the player's right, the starter will keep the card. If the player's wrong, then he/she have to keep the card. The accepted card should be placed face up on the table in front of the starter or the player.   


B. Peeks at the card, and passes it face down to another player, either saying the original type or saying a new type. The new player again has the choice of accepting the card or passing it. If the card has been seen by all other players, the last player must take the first option.

The game ends when a player has no cards to pass on his/her turn or when a player has 4 cards of the same type on the table in front of him/her. In either case, this player loses and the others win.

You will find out your buddies' slippery face while they are come up with some cunning strategy. You will be surprised that how difficult it is to make a choice between only 2 simple options! Next time you want to test your ability of lying and bluffing, try Kakerlaken Poker~!

  1. Well, I know a restaurant on 青年路 and it's just like what you said. Eating, playing the games, and talking about the games, maybe we can go there together next time. Also, that restaurant allow people to borrow the board games out, and it only cost 50 dollars one day. If you like to play board games, I recommend you to go to this restaurant.
