What sets family games apart from party games
Family games need to do one thing party games don't: bridge generations. When grandma, the parents, and the grown-up kids are sitting at the table, you need games that work for everyone — not too childish, not too edgy, but entertaining enough that nobody sneaks a peek at their phone.
Buzzed works surprisingly well in family rounds — the cards are funny without being inappropriate, and the rules are truly understood by everyone. Drawing Without Dignity brings creativity to the table — drawing and guessing works across all generations.
The Drunken Tower is the family favorite: The tower on the table is an eye-catcher, pulling out the blocks creates tension, and when it falls, everyone laughs — from eight to eighty. Without drinking rules, it's a pure dexterity game.
Family games by occasion
Sunday visits & holidays: Shut the Box in wood fits perfectly on the coffee table — tactile, quiet enough for the living room, and playable even with just two. Plus Buzzed as a card option for the round after coffee.
Birthdays & family celebrations: Be Honest or Get Drunk in the harmless version — the questions work without alcohol as family conversation starters. The Drunken Tower as entertainment between dinner and cake.
Vacation & travel: Card drinking games fit in any travel bag. Waterproof Poker Cards for family vacation at the beach — weatherproof, durable, for classic card games and custom rules.

Generations at the table — how it works
The trick: Choose games where experience gives no advantage. With the Drunken Tower, the teenager's hand shakes just as much as grandpa's. With Buzzed, every card hits everyone equally. No prior knowledge, no advantage — pure entertainment on equal footing.
Keep two different games ready: One for the whole group at the big table and one for the smaller group that stays sitting after dinner. Sotally Tober as a quick starter, Shut the Box for the relaxed round afterward.
All games work completely without alcohol — and in family rounds, that's usually the better choice. Juice, tea, coffee, or hot chocolate replace any drink. The fun comes from the cards, the dice, and the people at the table. Free shipping on orders over 50 EUR.
