We had some friends joining for an impromptu dinner yesterday and after that we had time to play a couple of games Skull and Sushi Go. Light games that are easy to teach/pick up but still quite fun.
I hadn’t played board games in a while so it felt good.
Good for all ages and simple to pick up. You probably won’t play it all night long but since its so chill it’s easy to teach and get it played.
Skulls is very good even with more experienced players even if it’s so simple as well. It’s a bluffing game but without any discussion so that makes it easier even for those kinds of people that can’t lie well.
Plus you can literally play it with coasters at a bar or even with cards. But the art on the actual game is super pleasing.
I love games that you can “play as an appetizer” on a night that includes a “main course”-game afterwards. That’s the role I would see for Sushi Go.
Skull I would take to a different kind of meetup. The bluffing stuff does not go down well with my partner, but I have a group of friends I play with every couple of month. We’ve played cockroach poker during the last two meetups, which is the same slot I would see Skull in.
I love to read this thread. New inspiration week after week.
I have both cockroach poker and skull and skull is a much better game I’d say. Or at least for most people. As I mentioned before with skull you can/have to bluff but much much less and way more subtle. So for the people that have a hard time doing that it is much easier. Plus you can just not bluff that much and play it safe. It is perfectly valid.
Cockroach poker, even if you don’t speak much you do have to buff directly. Plus many times you have to come up with the bluff on the spot and that is hard to do.
Playing cockroach poker with some close friends must be really fun for shits and giggle but Skulls is a better game for most plays for sure

Can confirm: Many giggles are to be had. It usually comes down to who ever has to take the first card being the prime target afterwards. But I could not imagine playing it with a less close nit group or even strangers.
I’ll post here if I had the chance to play Skull with the lads and let y’all know how it went.

Sushi Go looks and sounds like fun. I might have to pick that one up at some point. I’m trying not to buy too many games at the moment.
It’s a good family game imo
