Best games to play in Coronavirus quarantine lockdown.

With most countries in lockdown, and social distancing it place, it can be difficult to have fun with your friends.

This is a post to share my favourite games to play online/over skype/zoom.

1) Codenames online

This website is a similar game to the board game codenames. However, can be played online and is very easy to play over zoom. I've done this and it works a treat. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys word games.

The game is essentially a word description game in which there are 2 teams. Each team has a 'spymaster' who has to describe as many of 'their' words from a 5x5 grid. They are only allowed to describe 'their words' using a one word hint and a number. The aim is to try and describe as many words as possible with a single hint.

2) Ticket to ride

This is a great game which I have played in person as a board game with my friends pre lockdown. The game has a good app made by the company days of wonder. It is a cross platform game so you can play with people who have steam, ios or windows.

What makes the game really good is that each player is involved for quite a long time and thinks that they can win all the way through the game (unlike many other board games where if one person starts winning everyone else can get a bit disinterested).
