What to play a. There are a series of holidays ahead, it's time to relax and think about what to play on PC
When adults gather, it is mistakenly believed that they have nothing to do except talk and feast. This is wrong! There are many fun games that will allow you to have an interesting and unusual time in the company, laugh and relax. All games are designed for a company of 6 people or more. They can be played on a college camping trip, at a party or at someone's birthday.
Many games for a company do not require special preparation and props
Conversation games
- Understand me. The company is divided into male-female pairs. You can come up with a theme yourself, for example, “Maternity hospital”. The point of the game: the “husband” asks questions about the child out loud, and the “wife” tries to answer them with gestures. The main thing is to ask unusual questions and see what gestures the “wife” will answer.
- Associations. The company sits in a circle. Someone starts: whispering any word into his neighbor’s ear. He, without hesitation, speaks into the ear of the next participant his association for this word. The next one is his own association, and so on until the word-association returns to the one who started the game. I wonder what the original word will be transformed into!
- Who am I? All participants wear a paper ribbon on their forehead with the name of the movie star written on it. All participants see what is written on the foreheads of others, but do not know what is written on theirs. You need to take turns asking others questions that will help you understand what is written on your forehead. For example: “Am I a man?”, “Did I act with Tom Cruise?”, “Did I win an Oscar?” You can write the names of the animals - then the questions will be appropriate: “Do I live at the North Pole?”, “Am I a herbivore?” They play until the last pair. The loser buys everyone beer or ice cream.
- Crocodile. Someone from the company says the name of a popular film in the ear of another participant, and he shows it with gestures to the whole company. The company's task is to guess this name. If the name consists of several words, then you can write down the guessed words so as not to forget. Of course, if you wish, you can wish for any words, not just movies.
- “In my pants.” Any headlines are cut out from the press (magazines, newspapers). Their meaning is unimportant. They are then folded into a large envelope. Each participant takes out one headline and reads it aloud after the phrase “It’s in my pants...”. It sounds very funny - especially if it turns out something like “In my pants... there was a competition for the largest cucumber grown.”
Games with props
Target
All participants are given blank sheets of paper and pens (pencils). On the sheet you need to draw a large circle, inside of which there are 4 more circles, to get a target of five circles. You need to put a point in the middle and draw lines crosswise through it, so that the result is 4 sectors.
Participants must write: in the first circle from the center - the letters P, P, S, L, one in each sector. In the second circle - numbers from 1 to 4 in any order, in the third - one name each (animal, bird, fish, insect). The fourth contains 4 adjectives (funny: fat, drunk, stupid, lying around, etc.). In the fifth - 4 any proverbs or sayings.
Games with props are not suitable for travel, but are ideal for parties.
Now we collect all the targets and read (with attribution). The letters in the center of the circle mean: P - work, P - bed, S - family, L - love. The numbers mean where each participant ranks in work, family, bed and love. Animal and adjective - who the participant is in a given area of life. For example: Sasha is a “greedy jackal” at work, a “fat arctic fox” in bed, and so on.
Proverbs are a person’s motto in work, family, bed and love. It may turn out, for example, that “In Sasha’s bed the motto is “Without a greeting there is no answer,” and in the family the motto is “No matter how much you feed the wolf, he looks into the forest.” If playing with targets is not enough and you want to laugh more, try one of the following games!
- Get an apple. The team is divided into male-female pairs. A couple is selected to participate in the competition. A rope is stretched at a level of 2 m from the floor. On it, at the level of an adult’s mouth, a large apple is suspended by its tail. The chosen pair must eat it without using their hands. Whichever pair ate the entire apple was the winner.
- Transfusions. Two people from the company play. Take two bottles (one of them is empty). You need to use a straw to draw water (you can juice, mineral water or beer) from one bottle and pour it into another. Whoever does it faster is the winner. True, there is a chance that someone will drink it all and accept their defeat.
- Floating apple. Here two from the company participate in the competition. Apples are thrown into a large bowl of water. The participants' hands are folded behind their backs. You need to grab the apple with your teeth and remove it from the water. Whoever does this first wins.
- Mummy. Participants are divided into two teams. One of the players on each team is a “mummy”. The essence of the game: the team must wrap their “mummy” as quickly as possible. Regular toilet paper is used as bandages. Second part of the game: unwind the mummy by winding the paper back into a roll. Fun guaranteed!
If you don't have a twister, you can choose any other outdoor game!
Active games
- Swamp. Old cool game. The company is divided into teams, but two people can participate. The players receive two cards each (you can take regular sheets of paper). Task: these cardboard boxes are “bumps”, and you should move along them from one to another in order to cross the “swamp” (room, corridor) as quickly as possible. “Drowned in the Swamp” fulfills the collective’s wish.
- Ball battle. Participants are divided into two teams of equal size. Each participant ties an inflated balloon. You can buy balls of the same color for each team. The longer the thread, the better. The balls must be on the floor. On command, you need to destroy your opponents' balls by stepping on them with your feet, and at the same time not allow them to step on your own ball. The owner of the burst ball leaves the game. The winner is the team whose ball will be the last one to survive on the “battlefield”.
- Oh you horses, my horses! The competition requires two pairs of participants and a room where there are no breakable objects. Each pair is divided into a “horse” and a “rider”. The “rider” sits on the shoulders of the “horse” (usually a thin girl on the shoulders of a muscular guy). A piece of paper with a written word is attached to the “rider’s” back. The other “rider” must read what is written on the opponent’s back and, at the same time, prevent him from reading what is written on his back.
- Siamese twins. The company is divided into two teams. Two people from each team participate. They are placed sideways to each other. The left leg of one participant is tied to the right leg of the other, and their torsos are tied with straps. The result is “Siamese twins”. All actions should be performed at speed. "Siamese twins" work with two different hands (one right, one left) without talking to each other. They must complete various tasks given by the opposing team: sharpen a pencil, tie shoelaces or open a bottle, pour it and drink.

A new gaming year has arrived. Surely, you still have a bunch of unfinished projects, but the industry does not stand still and shoots out new games at machine gun speed. Therefore, the time has come to see what the developers will surprise us with and make a list of what we can play in 2018 (but this is not certain). Then let's get started!
A project from the creators of soulful Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons also relies on the interaction of characters and tells the story of the escape from prison of two developers from under the yoke of EA comrades - Vincent and Leo. A plot, interesting characters, mandatory co-op (both on one screen and online) and the opportunity to purchase one copy of the game for two are included.
The legendary strategy returns to us in an updated form and, according to the developers, is more than a banal remaster. The most “complete” edition offers us beautiful pictures with 4K support, improved gameplay and updated story company. And only in the Windows Store.
Never before has a walk through hell been so entertaining: in the form of a lost soul, admire the local beauties of the underworld, contact the same souls, possess busty demons and give slaps to their relatives. And this is first-person horror, by the way.
New Anno era of industrial prosperity and the development of diplomacy promises to incorporate all the best from the series: many new opportunities for urban planning, an interesting story campaign, improved network mode and sandbox mode. Moreover, in close contact with the gaming community.
After very controversial Dragon Age:Inquisition And Mass Effect Andromeda , studio Bioware intends to rehabilitate itself with the help of its new RPG in a unique universe. As in previous projects, the emphasis is on exploring a brave new world, full of various adventures and dangers. An exosuit will help us with this, whose jetpack will take us anywhere in the world, and the combat potential of the armor will cope with any monsters.
The saga of the Banner is approaching its logical and, most likely, tragic ending. Darkness comes, and we continue to lead our caravan forward, only delaying the inevitable. Turn-based tactical battles, beautiful visuals, moral choices and an interesting story about the Vikings are here to stay. We can only believe that the ending of the story will be as epic as it is worthy of ending the saga.
Turn-based tactics in the famous universe from the developers Shadowrun was expected back in 2017, but something didn’t work out. The money from kickstarter has been collected a long time ago, beta testing is being carried out, we can only hope that we will get behind the wheel of combat mechs very soon.
This time the events of the “snitch simulator” have grown in scale. The residential building has been replaced by a ministry of management, and instead of a building manager, we take on the role of a ministry employee. Surveillance and denunciations, plot intrigues and difficult choices - the path up the career ladder will be very thorny.
People from the studios that were responsible for the development Just Cause And Mad Max , thought about it, and decided to make their own action-RPG with a post-apocalyptic world, the basics of vivisection and a menacing raccoon or ferret? as the main character. Main feature It will be possible to use various mutations, prosthetics and weapons that directly affect your fighting style.
BloodStained is the ideological heir Castlevania, and for good reason, because at the helm of development is Koji Igarashi, a famous game designer and creator Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The project is presented as a 2.5D platformer with role-playing elements, and the action will take place in a castle infested with a wide variety of demons.
Despite the very rich literary material of Howard Lovecraft, whose work can be used to make 1000 and 1 atmospheric horror films, he did not have much success in the gaming environment. The only worthy project is “Call of Cthulhu” from 2005 and... All. Developers from Cyanide Studio decided to restore universal injustice and make their own thriller, where another detective will go crazy trying to prevent a cult from awakening an ancient god from the bottom of the sea. "Ph"nglui mglv"nafh Cthulhu R"lyeh vgah"nagl fhtagn."
Not long ago there was a wonderful Samorost 3, and inside the studio Amanita Design Work is already in full swing on a new fun quest - Chuсhel. As always, with a unique style, riddles, cute characters and the sheer absurdity of what is happening on the screen.
The new global extortion of money from players, an addition to the original game, promises to bring fresh content in the form of new rulers, eras, a city loyalty system and expanded diplomacy, as well as new mechanics will be shown.
A new horror with a hint of bioshock promises to be at least interesting. It’s an alternative 20th century, Nikola Tesla’s inventions significantly changed the lives of citizens, and for the sake of new discoveries, a huge ship complex was even built. A newly minted journalist searches for her missing sister within this complex and quickly becomes convinced that truly terrible things can be hidden behind the beautiful shell.
A hardcore action RPG about blood-sucking Japanese girls and boys who love to feed on the blood of their enemies and use it for their abilities. Created by the team that worked on the series God Eater, and this is very clearly visible from the similar style.
This time the rider Fury comes to the fore, who uses magic and masterfully swings a whip no worse than Gabriel from the last Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. It's quite hard to believe that the project will see the light of day this year based on the recent "raw" demos of the game, but we'll still be optimistic about the great things ahead. Although the very fact of the game’s existence can already be considered a miracle, because until recently the series was considered practically buried.
Another adventure in the middle of a zombie apocalypse stands out from its relatives if only by the fact that it is one of the future main PS4 exclusives, and everything looks very high quality. As in any project of this kind, we have to explore the big world, fight for survival and craft resources. To travel around the world, they will even let you ride a motorcycle. The zombies here, by the way, attack in waves and have remarkable speed. They can also be used for your own selfish purposes while clearing enemy bases, because as the saying goes, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
The popularity of the "Dark Sauce" series still does not allow many developers to sleep peacefully at night, forcing them to count souls instead of sheep. Here come the developers of the 2D platformer Death's Gambit were clearly inspired by the above title, which, however, does not prevent the project from looking quite interesting. There is a medieval setting, there are bosses, there is a soul system, even the difficulty has been made to match.
Game similar to Darkest Dungeon in style and gameplay, but at the same time having its own interesting finds. Made in a retro-futuristic comic book style, the project offers us the exploration of abandoned alien ships on the outskirts of outer space, a combination of turn-based combat with CCG elements, procedural level generation and wide customization options. The game is already in early access, and a full release is expected this year.
The time of great innovation and technological progress has already arrived, and has reached such an extent that the creation of androids for slave labor has already become commonplace. But bad luck, machines began to acquire self-awareness and feelings. As in previous games from Quantic Dream, the project is an interactive movie with several characters and numerous choices that influence both the story and the fate of the heroes themselves (they can even die in Heavy Rain). The main theme of the game was the question “what does it mean to be human?”
For several years now we have been hearing about the project from the creators LittleBigPlanet, but it’s not visible at the release. Sweet at first glance, the game exudes rays of creativity, inviting us to roam through other people’s dreams, take part in solving various problems, and create our own various games and come up with new ones.
With each part of the series Far Cry reminds me more and more Assassin's Creed– the scenery changes, but inside the composition is still the same, where only the proportions of some elements change. And if the third part at one time was truly a surprise and felt new, then you look at the current version without much enthusiasm, even yawning slightly. This time the difficult journey brought us to Montana. In a mountainous region isolated from the outside world, we are left alone with wild nature, a strange cult and an army of sectarians represented by local rednecks. The only thing that can brighten up the game is the presence of a cooperative.
Games about samurai are now an infrequent guest for gamers, and even without any mysticism and mythology, they are completely rare. Because the new project from Sucker Punch looks very attractive. They will tell us about the period of the Mongol invasion of the land of the rising sun, and we, in the role of the people's avenger, must punish the offenders, becoming their worst nightmare. It will also be interesting to see how the developers will show Japanese flavor in all its glory.
The reimagining of the series was as unexpected as possible. Kratos decides to change radically: now he doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t go after girls, and is raising his son. Even though I haven’t built a house or planted a tree yet. But jokes aside, cutting and beating enemies remains in place, but the approach has seriously changed. The son will be our assistant, similar to the interaction between Ellie and Joel, the setting has changed to the now fashionable Scandinavian one, and the game has become more cinematic.

Track record Klei Entertainment(Don’t Starve, Shank, Mark of the Ninja) will now be replenished with another promising project - a sandbox role-playing game with turn-based battles. As before, the project is made in the cartoon style familiar to the studio. The procedural generation of NPCs sounds interesting dynamic world. We will also control several characters with unique plot story for everyone.
Creator PAYDAY I couldn’t find anything better than to create my own indie studio and make another left 4 dead, evolve, payday cooperative shooter for 4 players. We run around underground complexes in vain, and collect resources to shoot crowds of monsters. It sounds corny, and it looks the same, but the game has one answer to all this - GTFO.
It's not often that we are spoiled with high-quality "meat" shooters. Except recent DOOM With Wolfenstein 2 and there’s nothing to remember, but the guys from the studio Saibot They assure us, guys, don’t worry, you’ll get a shooter based on the classics. Crazy dynamics, a lot of explosions and non-stop shooting are included.
The studio that once gave us the first Far Cry and series Crysis, is not worried now better times and is content with developing a cooperative shooter. The year is 1800, little people are living happily, and in the dark corners of the world an unknown evil is emerging, which we need to fight. Battles will be held both against bloodthirsty monsters and other players. Key Feature is the generation of locations and monsters in each new game.
What? Don't we have enough projects inspired by the Souls series? Here's a hot, sizzling hardcore action RPG with a sci-fi theme. We don’t know who we are or where we come from, but we are obliged to save the dying world, the truth about which we will learn as we go. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Before us is a real-time strategy based on the dieselpunk universe known in certain circles "1920+", where huge robots have already become so familiar to people that they can pass for elements of landscape and interior design. It was created through the efforts of the Polish artist Jakub Rozalski, whose numerous works can be found on the Internet.

At the very beginning of the fight you have absolutely nothing, but gradually you need to find weapons, vehicles and other useful things. The area of the map decreases over time and you need to hurry, but also be careful, because other players want to win no less than you.
