Looking for board games with teams? Well, you’re in the right spot. We’ve hand selected a list of some of the best options out there to break the ice or just have fun with your current friends.
Let’s check them out…
Rollick!
- Players split into teams in this charades game where they can either play the classic game the usual way or in reverse.
- Great for everyone 10+, as all of the cards are appropriate for younger children, but still fun for adults to act out, as well.
- Players have 756 clues to choose from, which means that the game can last for a very long time.
- Each team has just 60 seconds to try to guess as many clues as possible.
- Since the entire team works together to act out what is on the cards, there isn’t as much pressure as there is with traditional charades, which is great for people who are shy, as they can more easily enjoy the game.
Family Feud
- After splitting into teams, players try to answer questions in this game and come up with the right answers so they will have an opportunity to advance.
- The team who has the highest score wins the game, which means that everyone needs to be fast on their feet and willing to think outside of the box if they want to have the best results.
- As players are able to come up with the most popular answers to the questions in the box, then they can help their team earn the most points.
- In the Fast Money Round, one player from each team will compete for an extra chance to earn even more bonuses, which is a great way to put a team over the top.
Taboo
- Great for at least four players, but teams can be huge, which means that everyone can enjoy playing without having to wait a very long time for their turn.
- Includes 450 cards for players to try to act out without accidentally saying the forbidden words that are listed on the cards.
- The electronic buzzer allows the other team to interrupt a player who accidentally says a word that they aren’t supposed to.
- Not only are players trying to get their team to guess what word they have, but they have to try to get through as many different words as possible for the highest score.
- Unlike charades, which involves acting, Taboo requires people to describe their word, which is great for players who aren’t comfortable acting in front of a crowd.
Freedom of Speech

Over the Line
- Players on teams compete against each other to try to get their team to guess the most cards correctly before the time on the timer runs out and it is time for the other team to play.
- By both acting out or drawing the words on their cards, players try to get their team to guess what word they have.
- There are 350 cards included in this game, and due to the nature of the cards, it is a game for adults only.

Sequence
- Players compete in teams to try to get five chips placed on the board in a row without allowing their opponents to make their own rows.
- After a team creates two rows then the game is over, but since teammates aren’t allowed to communicate with each other, this game can be tricky.
- Players must have a strategy for how they will place their cards and pay attention to what their teammate is doing so that they have the best chance of winning.
- Certain cards will allow players to remove their opponent’s chips, which is a great way to
stop them from being able to create a row. - The game is easy to learn how to play, but can take awhile to master.
Sick & Twisted Charades
- There are 1,000 words to act out, which is great for a long night of play with a group of people.

- Challenges such as sitting on the floor while acting or only using one hand, make this game more inventive and fun than the original charades.

Back & 4th

What Are the Odds?

- Players must guess lower odds on each round in a strategic attempt to get their opponents to have to complete the dare.
- The player who does the dare doesn’t get a point, but the person who gives it will.
