What’s up Yal!! It’s ya man B, #IAMTHEBRAND, and we’re bringing you the Top 10 Games for every HBCU dorm room. You may look at the list and say “Aye, it’s more than 10 games on here,” yea, that’s because some are of equal value—1a and 1b type of thing, but they’re in no particular order. Check out the list and have fun—and if you’re really interested, press the links to grab it from Amazon.
Black Card Revoked
The name says it all. Either you’re in or you’re out. Will you get your Black Card Revoked?!
From $17.99
Cards Against Humanity
Cards Against Humanity almost needs no explanation. My sister put me on to this game and I was hooked ever since. One person draws a black card with a fill-in-the-blank phrase, and the other players pick a white card from their hands that completes the sentence while also appealing to the judge’s twisted sense of humor. The winner collects the cards from the rounds that they win. It’s that simple, but you’ll be playing for hours on end.
From $20.00
Spades, Phase 10, and Uno
From $6.55
From $5.99
From $6.99
You see, all of these card games pretty much go together, only thing is is Uno is played with a totally different set of cards—which doesn’t make it any less fun. These are the card games you’ll be playing in your commons, suite, door room, cafe, or game room, just be aware: when you play spades make sure you can PLAY spades. The worst thing you can be is a crappy partner *Ugh, when you want to be able to talk trash until the end of time.
Monopoly
This may be the best board game ever that includes 2 or more players, and my favorite piece is Shoe!! All I know is every time the fam plays Monopoly, my sister ends up with all the cash! I don’t know how she does it, or what her strategy is, but she is the GOAT!
From $24.99
Scrabble
Time to get the vocab up to par when you play this game. Scrabble is one of the best games to show off your word play to your friends. For me, I will bring terror to every opponent who would like to test my superior skills. Peep, I didn’t use a word with the letter “A” in the last sentence, and in this game, not having a vowel could lead to your demise.
From $17.97
Mancala
Take it back to our roots. This thousand year old two player game will have you counting numbers all night as you play the game over and over again because of the competitive fun you’ll be having.
From $8.69
Dominos and Krapps
No matter if you’re from the hood, burbs, or country, everyone has seen the OT’s playing these games at the cook out, on the corner, or at the reunion. With a college budget, let’s just hope we’re betting $1s instead of twenties!
From $14.99
Twister
Yep, this one got me into a lot of good trouble in the dorms. Girls vs Boys and a little bit of twists and turns can find yourself in an awkwardly desirable position with the one you’ve been crushing on since Day 1.
From $19.99
These Cards Will Get You Drunk
Well, the premise of the game is clear, now you just need to decide how shit faced you want to be at the end of the night. Better know your limit if you want to survive this game.
From $15.99
Chess
The best game ever!! Exercise your mind everyday with this game. Enough said.
From $5.96
Playing some of these games while I was in college, school was never boring. It was always something to do between classes and work. This that #HBCU family love. Have fun!!!
