Carcassonne was invented in 2000 in Germany, and already in 2001 it became the game of the year in this country. The rules of this turn-based family strategy game are straightforward: gradually, players build a field by laying out cards depicting the area on the table, and occupy them with their chips, which become knights, peasants or monks depending on their position. The task is to occupy as much territory as possible, including fields, rivers and castles, thereby gaining maximum amount points. "Piss monsters, grab treasures, substitute friends" - this is the motto of one of the most popular games this year. Munchkin is a parody of both turn-based and card games. The rules here are quite complex, you will have to figure it out, delving into every detail: there are cards, doors, monsters, races and levels. As well as "clothes" and the possible death of the player. However, having understood this role-playing game, the whole company turns from normal, mentally healthy people into uncontrollably laughing hysterics with signs of paranoia. The fact is that during a game you can help a neighbor (of course, for selfish purposes) or interfere with him (with the same ones). Due to the complex combination of cards and moves, a controversial situation may arise that is not described in the rules. The creators of the game propose to solve it with a loud squabble between the participants. The winner is the one who first reaches level 10, fighting monsters and cunning rivals. Monopoly (also known as Manager or Businessman in the USSR and Russia) is the most popular economic strategy of all times and peoples. Since Charles Farrow sold the first 5,000 homemade copies of the game in his native Philadelphia in 1935, 1.5 billion people have played it. If someone has forgotten the rules, then here they are in summary: having the starting capital at the beginning of the game, the participants must increase their fortune and ruin the rivals. All this takes place on a square playing field, and "businessmen" use cards, money and chips. Classic Monopoly has acquired many add-ons that can be found at any online board game store. The Finnish board game Alias has become the most popular in the country. This is largely due to the simple rules and excitement that Elias incites in the participants. The rules, if you do not go into some of the nuances, are approximately as follows: for a minute that is counted hourglass, you need to explain as many words from the cards to the players of your team as possible. Using synonyms or English translation is prohibited. In augmented versions, sometimes words have to be drawn, pantomime or explained with certain emotions: theatrically sobbing or laughing inadequately. The first team to reach the end of the game board wins, on which all the players' successes are recorded. Marrakech is one of the most popular board games in France and Austria. This is a very beautiful family economic strategy, which is, first of all, unusual with its “chips” made of fabric. The Marrakech market lives its own fast paced life, and you will soon have to choose the best carpet seller. It is for this funny title that the participants have to fight. Jenga in Swahi means "Build!" (this is imperative). But in fact, this game is about breaking as slowly as possible. From the base of the tower, installed at the very beginning of the game, the players take turns taking out the bars and placing them on top, making the structure taller and less stable. The loser is the one during which (or immediately after) the tower collapsed. The game "Jenga" is quite tense, so the whisper of the walking "I will kill the one who breathes" is quite a normal situation. Scrabble or Scrabble is as classic as Monopoly. Scrabble in pop culture has long earned the title main game for nerds, but this has not become less popular. Participants receive seven starting letters (there are 104 in total) and put them on a field of 15 by 15 squares, making up words. They, of course, should be as long as possible, and this guarantees victory in the game. Not everyone, however, knows that in the Russian version of Scrabble, you cannot use any words other than common nouns in the nominative case. You can't use a dictionary either, more precisely, you can, but only to check whether the word that appeared on the board really exists. Scotland Yard is a game named after the London police headquarters and pays homage to legendary British detective stories. On the field there is a map of central London, at the very beginning the players choose the criminal by drawing lots, who puts a cap on his head to hide his eyes. The rest are policemen who will catch the robber. He, unlike the pursuers, walks "secretly", writing down his moves on a sheet, but not showing it to others. Once every 5 turns, he reveals his location. The police must work together to corner the criminal. Uno is a sophisticated take on the Nineties Summer Camp hit "One Hundred and One." The game, whose name translates from Italian and Spanish as "One", was invented in the 1970s, and there are almost no board game fans who do not know about it. The deck consists of 108 cards, divided by colors and numbers from zero to nine. In addition to them, there are other cards that change the color that is in the game, the direction of the moves, or allow players to exchange decks with any other participant. The point is to get rid of all the cards by shouting "Uno" when there is only one left in your hand. After one player has won, the others count the points. Each company sets its own threshold (for example, 400 points), after which the participant leaves the party, having been defeated. Experienced players suggest: in order to add some madness to the process, you can agree not to slow down and play as quickly as possible. He hesitated - you pass the move to the next one. Activity is not much different from Elias, but this game cannot be ignored, because someone likes it much more than its main competitor. Speed players explain the words to their team: by drawing, pantomime or synonyms - depending on what fell out. The task is to be the first to score a certain number of points. You can choose the difficulty of the task: if the team is ready for the test and successfully wins it, then it moves to victory, respectively, faster. Of all the classic board games, the German game Colonizers has perhaps the most difficult rules. Usually it takes hours to figure them out, but the time spent pays off after: this is a real military-economic strategy, exciting and exciting. The players' task, as you might guess from the description, is to create a colony on Katan Island and develop it faster than opponents, gaining twelve victory points. With one of five resources - wood, bricks, wool, grain or ore - you need to create roads, cities or settlements. And you also need to think about the length of these roads and the ability of cities to defend. Everything as in the legendary computer games ah like "Cossacks", only on your table. Yes, this is a game about hugging a girl you like by the waist without having the right to do so in any other situation. It's also the only floor game on the list. Who doesn't love Twister? The game, by the way, was not at all popular among Americans until, on the air of the evening show, the actress and sex symbol of the United States, Eva Gabor, played it with the host of the TV show. The American bestseller Cards Against Humanity was invented by graduates of a regular school in Illinois. The essence of the game is to answer rather funny and sometimes indecent questions as funny as possible, or cleverly fill in the gaps in sentences. The driver chooses the funniest answer, and the player who shows an uncommon sense of humor gets one point. As a rule, the most bloodthirsty wins, because in the USA, where tolerance is the main base social relations, this game is the only way to joke about blacks, Jews, Barack Obama and women. Russian manufacturers the games finally made a version in which there are no Americanisms, replacing the popular US characters with the same Russians: Philip Kirkorov, Lev Leshchenko, and so on. On the official website of the game, the developers offer approximately the following options: No one can imagine that Lev Leshchenko's favorite hobby is Baltika 9. It is not recommended to play Cards Against All to persons under the age of eighteen. This game is loved all over the world for the surge of emotions and adrenaline that it gives. The essence is extremely millet: the participants gradually open their cards and, under certain conditions and coincidences, must be the first to grab the totem standing in the middle of the table. The game perfectly trains attentiveness and reaction, and at the end of the process, half of the players' eyes twitch: each game is tense and exciting. The game "Evolution" was invented by Russian biologist Dmitry Knorre in 2010, and has already been reissued in English, French and German... The logical strategy is based on the principles of Darwinian theory: during the turn, the participants choose which features they want to add already the existing species... It is also worth paying attention to food and external conditions. The game lasts until the cards remain in the general deck, and the winner is the one who scored the most points.Munchkin
