Game nights provide the perfect opportunity for couples to reconnect on an evening together at home. With the recent cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on our leisure time, having a date night indoors is a great way to save some pennies while breaking the monotony of daily routines.
Whether you play card game together or opt for a classic board game, playing a game together encourages communication, laughter and teamwork, deepening the bond between you both. The options of games to play are endless and provide a fun and unconventional way to interact. Here are our top picks for couples looking to organise a game night:
Board Games
Board games are fantastic for couples looking to challenge each other’s strategic thinking while having fun. An expensive holiday abroad or a night out to a fancy restaurant isn’t always in the budget but there are plenty of board game options to spark some romance and get you laughing together.
You can play games specific to your relationship or retreat into a fantasy world and build rival kingdoms – the choice is really yours.
Online Trivia
For couples who like to challenge their knowledge across various subjects in a competitive yet fun manner, online trivia is the way forward. Sometimes that competitive streak between you can really drive the romance and there is no better opportunity to show off your smarts than with an internet quiz.
You can download trivia quiz apps that offer a variety of themes and categories that suit your interests and enjoy some friendly competition.
Casino Date Night
For a thrilling game night, consider creating a casino-themed evening at home or explore online casinos together. This can be an exciting way to experience games like blackjack, roulette, or slots in a relaxed home setting, or virtually through secure online casino platforms, which can add a touch of glamour and excitement to the night.
You can really lean into the experience by dressing up in your finest regalia or 1920s costume. The point is that as long as you are together, it’s an enjoyable gambling activity for both of you.
Card Games
Card games are a staple for game nights due to their versatility and the variety of games available. From classic games like Rummy to more modern games like Exploding Kittens, card games can be both entertaining and strategic. This makes them perfect for a night of laughter and play.
You can get more intimate or romantic by choosing a card game that allows you to delve into the inner workings of your relationship. A good example is the relationship cards by We’re Not Really Strangers.
