1. The Lie Detector Game, which includes a lie detector so you can find out who really ate your leftovers.
2. Unstable Unicorns because you get to build legit unicorn armies to use against your mates.
3. Codenames, which will allow you to live out your wildest dreams of being a spy.
4. Aussie Scrabble, because regular scrabble doesn't accept the word "arvo".
5. Mysterium, which is a more tame version a ouija board.
6. Or an actual ouija board, if you're game enough and know how to use one.
7. The cheaters edition of Monopoly, if regular Monopoly is starting to bore you.
8. Civilisation, if the prospect of actually taking over the world is too much of a commitment for you.
9. Kokoro, which is a high intensity, point-based game that you and your five best friends will love.
10. It's In The Bag, which is the ULTIMATE party game when you want a different take on charades.
11. Fluxx, which is a card-based drinking game — that can also be played without alcohol.
12. Azul, which is as aesthetically pleasing as it is fun to play.
13. Escape from The Aliens in Outer Space, which beats going to Vegas to try to storm Area 51.
14. Hot Seat, which is a fast and easy way to learn way too much about your friends.
15. The Stranger Things version of Dungeons and Dragons because it's that much cuter.
16. Debatable, because as an Aries I couldn't not include it on this list.
17. Exploding Kittens, but the NSFW version to make things ~spicy~.
18. One Night, which is essentially a cooler and more controlled version of mafia, with no eliminations or narrators.
19. And finally, Catch Phrase, which isn't technically a ~board game~ but still delivers hours of wholesome fun.
