Game nights are indeed fun, but in my opinion, movie nights are better, especially if you’re with friends and family. The only issue with watching it with friends and, especially family, is, once an intimate scene comes up, things can get extremely awkard.

When I was at university, my best friend used to organize a game night after each final exam. The only rule was that every invited person should bring snacks. Scruples, Titanic, Guess who?, Scrabble, Pictionary and the classic Ludo and Monopoly were the board games that we enjoyed playing well into the night. Without a doubt, a good way to relax after all that stress!

Oh card games and game nights. It reminds me about all the funs we had way way back. I was a kid when we used to host lots of parties, with so many relatives coming by and playing all kinds of card games well in to the night. Even though sometimes it’s was so noisy and so packed, it was absolute fun. There were no internet, satellites, no many TV channels with all kinds of serials and movies. So people used to gather somewhere and just talk, laugh and play cards which I really miss. Those days will never come back but the memories of those old days remains forever.

When I was living along with my friends in special accommodation places during B.Sc. course inside of university we were playing lots of these games specifically card games together. For example, one of the popular games was truth or dare. Mostly they were last until 2 or even 3 AM. Besides, many friends have came over us and we were watching movies with each other as well as we were talking about various subjects (especially girls (just kidding)). Totally we were enjoying those nice night.

Sometimes its good to play the old classic board games and card games to get away from today’s electronics. Even though board games and card games seem outdated in today’s world with all those apps and video games, the old stuff never fails to entertain you.

I have hosted game nights.  It’s really fun.  There’s a popular game in my country called “Forty” it’s really fun, specially because of the slangs and funny phrases you have to say while you play.

I remember when i was younger, i would play all sorts of games with my brother. Whether it be video games or card games, it’ll always end up in an argument of who was cheating, and most of the time i cheated, becuase he won too much; i was extremely jealous of that.
