Because of the nature of the game, this choice would be best for a get-together with your besties. Beware because this also seems like the kind of game that could stir up some drama or hurt someone’s feelings. Remember everyone, drink and play party games responsibly!

Let’s Play! Oink Games
The rest of the list features more family-friendly fun for all ages such as Let’s Play! Oink Games. A collection of mobile adaptations of small box tabletop games from OinkGames Incorporated. Play online with just about anyone or try offline play which offers a solo and multiplayer mode. However, for your next get-together, try creating a table with local multiplayer and your friends can easily join on their devices using a code.
In total, there are thirteen games, but you only get Deep Sea Adventure for free. You can purchase all other games through the app for $4.99 each. The cool thing about this is that you can pick and choose which games are the best fit for your group. Additionally, if one person in your group buys a game, everyone can play using the local table code.

Each game varies in length, age range, difficulty, and number of players ranging from 2-8. Start with Deep Sea Adventure where you play as divers pressing their luck to bring back the most loot before running out of air. Or play the digital version of Oink Games’ popular card game, Scout where players try to put on the best “show.” Do this by playing the largest hand of the same or consecutive cards. It may sound easy, but you cannot rearrange your hand only add cards. This is just a small selection of what the Let’s Play! Oink Games collection has to offer.
Let’s Play! Oink Games is free in the Play Store and the App Store.
