- Uno – This game has been around for many years. I am sure at one point in all of our lives we have played this game. But who has this game anymore?

There is so much fun in this game and you can play several games a night. The goal of the game is simple, use all your cards. There are mean cards in the deck to make it harder for you and your opponents to finish first, so be on the lookout.

The spy boss will give you a clue and you have to choose from a table of options which spy he is trying to get you to talk to. Be the first team to identify all your spies without compromising them to civilians and you are the winner.
- Sushi Go! – This is an unconventional deck building game. There are a limited number of cards that get passed around the circle. You are trying to collect the best cards to make the highest score possible. The game last three rounds, or until a person reaches the winning total. Be careful on the cards you select, because if someone notices what you are trying to do, they can block your efforts and leave you with nothing.
