Christmas is approaching, and with it comes the eternal question: which party game to give (or treat yourself to) this year? To help you make the right choice, we’ve handpicked our top 10 favorites right now. Social games, strategy games, mystery games, or competitive showdowns… here’s our ranking of the best party games, tried and tested, to ensure you have a fun and exciting holiday gathering around the table.

1. Take Time

Take Time is our favorite game of the year. Around a table, players must blindly place numbers around a clock, without communicating. You’ll need to be clever and show team spirit to succeed through the 40 levels that get trickier with each new round.

2. Zenith

In Zenith, you face your opponent to take control of the universe. Each turn is crucial for trying to pull in as many planets as possible on your side. It's packed with tension and strategy as you aim to attack or defend your territory.

3. Flip 7

You can't go wrong with Flip 7 because this game brings everyone together. The goal? Deal numbered cards to each player to try to score as many points as possible without getting knocked out in the round. It’s fast, fun, and super funny to take risks to win!

4. Duel for Cardia

Here’s a little box that hides a big game. In this two-player showdown, players play cards simultaneously. The highest value wins the round, but watch out, the lowest activates its ability. It’s a concentrated dose of strategy where every turn can completely change the outcome of the game. You’ll need to outsmart your opponent to anticipate their moves.


5. The Silence of the Shadow

Here’s an investigation game like no other! In The Silence of the Shadow, you follow the trail of a bizarre murder case: a man was found dead, kneeling, with his hands tied and his mouth sewn shut. Throughout this hyper-realistic adventure, you’ll interview witnesses, solve puzzles, and explore hidden locations to catch the killer. It’s brilliantly designed and the game material is amazing! 


6. Omens

The most beautiful game in our selection is Omens. In this team game, you face off against your opponents while trying to get rid of your cards using their effects. It features stunning illustrations and requires teamwork!


7. Tag Team

Tag Team is a one-on-one fighting game where you play as 12 heroes, each with unique abilities, battling it out with powerful attacks and skills. What makes it special is that everything revolves around action cards that are added each turn. You’ll need to be strategic in placing them in your deck to hit the target or dodge an enemy attack!


8. Toy Battle

In Toy Battle, the toy war is declared! In this fierce game that feels like a 2.0 chess match, two players go head-to-head to capture the opponent's base. Each player moves their little characters, activating their powers to conquer as much territory as possible. It’s super engaging, with eight different battlefields, and you’ll instantly want to jump into a new game!


9. For a Crown

The friendly family game of the year is For a Crown. Here, families face off to become the richest in the kingdom. In each round, you recruit characters that help you earn money or interfere with your opponents. But watch out, events can sometimes turn the game on its head! The materials are cool, and the illustrations have a fun Zootopia vibe.


10. Flatiron

In this two-player strategy game, the goal is to construct the iconic Flat Iron of New York. To do this, each player can take a variety of actions before the roof of the building is placed, and the game is over. You’ll need to use your brain to optimize each turn and stay one step ahead in building your empire.


Honorable Mention - Symbiose

Attention Skyjo fans, we haven’t forgotten about you… This year a game has been released that you’ll love! In Symbiose, players must recreate a pond using cards that score points. A color bonus here, frogs that are worth a ton of points over there. The twist is that the cards on the sides of your grid act based on the neighboring ponds. You’ll need to adapt to score points while preventing your opponents from getting any!
