Madisyn Kovach

Idea 1: Will you say yes to the rose? (Inspired by the bachelor and Apples to Apples)

During this game, everyone will start with 7 black cards that have certain men’s names on them that have been on the bachelor. During every round, one person will be in charge of laying down a “Rose Card”. On the rose card, it will state a personality/trait. (For example: A man with the best hair.) You must lay down a black card on top of the rose. Whoever was in charge of laying down that rose will chose the best option. Whoever wins receives a rose. You must have seven roses to win the game.

Idea 2: Type

Ten cards will be dealt out at the beginning of this game. Each card will consist of a different letter in a different typeface. During this game, You must try to make out as many words possible with the same or most similar typeface. Depending on how many letters your word has matches how many points you will earn. After going around in your circle and picking up a letter, you must throw one of you cards into a trash pile. You can always build off of previous words. Whoever creates enough words that equal thirty points first will win.

Idea 3: Who’s the Artist? (Off Old Maid)

This game involves matching, pairing, and knowing artists. The standard 52-card pack is included with different artists/their works featured. When getting a match of artists, before laying them down, you must say their name and a piece of art that they have created, if you fail, you must discard those two cards into the discard pile and pick up 1 new card. Who ever ends up with the most matches at the end wins.

Idea 4: Follow me on Instagram

You will be given 7 cards with different memes on them. One person will be in charge of laying down a “Profile” card. That profile card will show a persons name and their instagram bio. When you see that profile, you have to pick a card from your seven options that you think will be their first instagram post. The person that laid down the name and bio card will get to chose the funniest card. Whoever gets the most “likes” at the end wins.

Idea 5: And they were roommates?

Max players would be six people. The game will come with 52 questions and 6 white boards, markers, and erasers. During this game, someone will lay down a card with a “Most likely” comment. (Ex: Most likely to dye their hair randomly). Everyone will have to write down who they think would be most likely to do that. On the count of three, everyone must turn their boards around, whoever’s name gets written the most will receive two points and if it’s a tie between 2 people, you will both get one point. At the end of the 52 cards, whoever has the most points wins. This is a test to see how all roommates think about each other.
