It’s been nearly a year since we last discussed board games on our blog. Last November, we shared not only a few of our favorite board games, we also shared a few short- and long-term health benefits of playing them. To celebrate a new season and upcoming holiday, we thought it’d be fun to focus our attention on October-perfect board games. We’re suggesting board games that we think are perfect for the season, especially as Halloween approaches. Take some time to host a game night inside of your Arrive Eden Prairie apartment, here in Eden Prairie, MN.
We’re sharing three games, two are perfect for playing around Halloween (and any time of the year, if you want) and one is perfect for a relaxing night in. Enjoy!
“In the 1920s, Mr. MacDowell, a gifted astrologist, immediately detected a supernatural being upon entering his new house in Scotland. He gathered eminent mediums of his time for an extraordinary séance, and they have seven hours to contact the ghost and investigate any clues that it can provide to unlock an old mystery.
“Unable to talk, the amnesic ghost communicates with the mediums through visions, which are represented in the game by illustrated cards. The mediums must decipher the images to help the ghost remember how he was murdered: Who did the crime? Where did it take place? Which weapon caused the death? The more the mediums cooperate and guess well, the easier it is to catch the right culprit.”
Take on the role as a witch in this strategy board game about delivering potions. This game offers a great balance of bluffing, strategy, and ultimately 30 to 40 minutes of fun.
Viticulture: Essential Edition
Relax inside your apartment with this strategic board game about winemaking.
Here is a description from the website (link provided above):
“You find yourself in rustic, pre-modern Tuscany, where you’ve inherited a meager vineyard. You own a few plots of land, an old crush pad, a tiny cellar, 3 workers…and the dream of owning the best winery in Italy.
“Your job is to allocate your workers and helpful visitors to complete various tasks throughout the year. Each season is different on a vineyard, so the workers have different tasks they can take care of in the summer and winter. There’s competition over those tasks, and often the first worker to arrive at each one has an advantage over the rest.
“Using those workers and visitors, you can expand your vineyard by building structures, planting vines, and filling wine orders as you work towards the goal of owning the most successful winery in Tuscany.”
