Board Games.

Remote kind of fun.

Let us start this post with a little story.

While a part of our team traveled to Turkey to celebrate the 7-year birthday of the agency, we really got into playing board games. We felt it was such a great way to spend time with the team and get to know each other.

So, we decided to continue playing board games in a remote kind of way. We've already had a couple of online sessions and we love it. It's officially our new agency tradition to come together once every few weeks and play online board games.

If you share our love for board games and want to have fun with your team, here are the top recommendations from the Etcetera team:

Shmuxit

Shmuxit is the online version of Dixit. Using a deck of cards illustrated with dreamlike images, players select cards that match a title suggested by the "storyteller", and attempt to guess which card the "storyteller" selected.

Player count: 3+

Bang

A Wild West-themed social deduction card game. Each person plays a role of a unique character with special abilities and a certain number of 'bullets'.

Player count: 4-7

Aye, Dark Overlord!

Unfortunately, we could not find an online version of the game, which would satisfy our demanding standards. That is why we are developing our own local version of Aye, Dard Overlord based on IT theme. It should be super cool, and we can't wait to try it.

Find a list of other online board games below. We haven't tested them yet, so let us know if you like them after the game.
