You might have a whole lot of board games sitting in your closet and you may be waiting for some people to come over and have a get-together in order to play those games with each other but with everything going around in the world and the busy & hectic routine, it might not be possible to have those occasional get-togethers. However, you can still take some time for virtual socializing.
It might not be the same as the real get-togethers but it is somewhat close to it. When you want to play some board games with your friends or family members then the mobile versions of classic board games make up the prime candidates for virtual get-togethers. The reasons why that is beneficial include:
- You are not putting anyone at risk (you or the people that you are playing with) by virtual get-togethers.
- Also you can let those friends and family members be a part of the get-togethers who live far away from each other.
- You can see and hear each other in real-time
- And the last, but not least, Healthy Competition.
Scrabble
Scrabble Word Finder is one of the most popular word games that is played around the world. If you are looking for a game to play on your virtual get-together then look no other than Scrabble. Not only is Scrabble fun and enjoyable to play but on your next virtual get-together, it should a game that should be on your list.
Scrabble is a game that is loved by many around the world, especially those people that are into word games. Scrabble is played with two to four players, each of the players is given letter tiles and they have to build words from those tiles. Each tile has its own value depending on its rarity. One of the classic board games that everyone loves to play.
Words with Friends
Words with Friends is another game that should be on your list for Virtual Game Night. It is almost the same as Scrabble where you have to play with friends or opponents and make words & score points.
Although Words with Friends is not associated with Scrabble in any way, it is pretty much the same game, where you build words from the letters at the hand and score the highest points to win the game.
Monopoly
Just like we all used to play Monopoly in the old days with our friends and family, we can also play it on our online get-togethers. There are online Monopoly apps available through which you can enjoy Monopoly with your friends on your online virtual meetups. The fun is the same as in the classical board monopoly, with everything being online, making the competition even tougher.
Pictionary
Pictionary is another game that you should try for your virtual get-together. The virtual crew is divided into two teams where one team has to draw and the other team has to guess. The drawing team can use their webcams and draw something on paper or using a drawing app and share their screen while the other team has to guess. All of this is also done in real-life Pictionary too but here you are doing it over the webcams.
Dungeons & Dragons
The classic RPG, Dungeons & Dragons is also a game that you can try in your virtual get-togethers. As long as the dungeon master has all the required gear, everyone is good to go except that they need the Dungeons & Dragons dice. If participants don’t have the D&D dice then can use the virtual dice and play the game.
