Tips for game night 🍿🎲 ✨
Before the big games start, the evening can get off to a relaxed start. A little warm-up is simply a must - for example with a round of Stadt-Land-Fluss or a quick card game that everyone already knows. This creates a good atmosphere, gets everyone up to speed and also helps those who don't play that often to ease into the game. To ensure that no one sits hungry at the table, it's worth taking a look at snacks and drinks: finger food such as popcorn, cheese cubes, salted pretzels or jelly babies are ideal - tasty, but without sticky fingers or greasy chip residue that could damage the playing cards. When everyone is ready, the main games are brought to the table. Deluxe Tip Tower brings excitement, Pandemic Poker provides tactical excitement, and Paint Date guarantees creative fun and lots of laughs. If you have several games up your sleeve, you remain flexible and can respond well to the mood of the round. And at the end, it can be relaxed again - perhaps with a small round of Kniffel?
Whether there are three, four or a large group - with the right games, a normal evening becomes one that will be remembered for a long time to come. The Noris online store has everything you need. Our games are uncomplicated, varied and have real replay value for years to come! So just pick a few favorites, clear the table and get started. Have fun playing - wishes Noris! ❤️
