Four. Who I am?
We present you one of the best board games for those Sunday afternoons or dinners with friends at home. You will love it!
To prepare this game and make it as authentic and original as possible, at Hofmann we present the following idea:
- Choose about 50 9 × 13 photos of friends, family, celebrities, historical figures, animated characters, etc. and reveal them. Can do it here.
- When they have arrived at your house they will be ready to be used in this game with which you will not be able to stop laughing!
You should mix the photos well and put them face down in the center of the table. Each participant must take a photo and paste it on the in front of the person sitting to your right.
This board game consists in that each one must discover who they are by asking simple questions, with which they can answer YES or NO. If the answer to the question asked is “YES”, the player can ask a new question, and so on until they fail and the turn is passed to the person to their right.
5. Pictionary
This board game is, without a doubt, one of the most complete that exists and where your most creative part intervenes. We introduce you…Pictionary!, a board game created more than 30 years ago and that will make your imagination fly like never before any other game has managed to do, here we go!
To prepare this board game and customize it to your liking, we recommend doing the following:
- Choose around 100 photos in 9 × 13 (with more photos the better) that you can use as game cards for your personalized Pictionary. Think of things that are not too difficult to draw (although we recommend selecting some images a little more difficult for the big challenges). You can develop your photos here.
- Once you have your photos, you will only need a notebook and some pencils.
Now the fun begins! Make 2 teams and place the photos face down. Choose which team starts first and then one of its participants must take one of the photos without looking. On a sheet of the notebook and with a pencil or marker, you draw what you see in your photo and try to make the other members of your team guess it without being able to speak a single word. Ah! and there is a time limit 
(You can use the mobile timer to mark the limit).
Here are some ideas for themes to add to your photos:
- Real or fictional characters
- Everyday objects such as: food, vehicles, etc.
- Animals
- Actions (running, swimming, cooking, driving, writing, singing, etc.)
- Words (write words that are difficult to represent in a picture)
