 With the onset of the coronavirus this year more and more games are flying off the shelf. And it makes sense with so many people staying home and finding alternatives to going out and going crazy. Well, here is the ultimate guide for 2020’s 10 best games and where to find them…and just so you know, these are all family-friendly games. 1. What The Film?! by Lethal Chicken Games- What The Film?! is a party game where players combine three cards: one ACTOR, one PLOT and one SET to create a funny movie. Pitch, vote, backstab, win. There are 400 cards, 200 of them feature beautiful artwork and the content is really funny ranging from a mall Santa to someone inheriting a bunch of their aunt's cats…one can see where things could go. Why on the Hot List? What The Film?! was a 2019 finalist for Toy of the Year from The Toy Association, but as a Target exclusive, was banned from being sold on Amazon until just recently. It was the star game in celebrity gifting suites and was also the official game given out to celebrities who appeared on the 2019-2020 season of Hollywood Game Nights.  2. Camping with Sasquatch also by Lethal Chicken Games– Camping with Sasquatch is a light, quick card game with a ROAR! A cross between Rummy and Slapjack, Camping with Sasquatch checks all the boxes for being both family-friendly but strategic and vindictive enough to keep the adults coming back for more! Roar with one card left, or face the penalties of the Sasquatch! Why on the Hot List? The creators of the game, Mike Szalajko and Alex Mackey were nominated for a 2019 TAGIE Award for Rising Star Innovator of the Year. Their games are fun, quirky and have outstanding artwork. So far they’ve created two award-nominated games that work well for both kids AND adults.  3. Sabacc by Disney Theme Park Merchandise – Sabacc is “perhaps the galaxy’s oldest and most popular card game” according to starwars.com. It’s weird to think this card game is made by a theme park, but the game is fun, the components are great and it’s just off kilter enough to transport you to a world of scum and villainy. Why on the Hot List? Sabacc for the most part is only sold at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at either Disneyland or Walt Disney World for $16.99. You can find it on ebay and it's currently available on Amazon, it generally comes at a premium price as it's sold by someone that has gone there, purchased it at retail and is trying to resell it for a profit. That said, it's certainly much cheaper than a trip to Disney World.  4. Unicorns & Zombies by Unicorns & Zombies, LLC – “Lose Friends. Gain Allies.” is the tagline for this new game. Successfully launched through Kickstarter, this game is freshly listed on Amazon and barely started to hit other retail locations in 2020. There’s, like, a totally tubular 80’s vibe and like the videos and like website are super rad, dude. Why on the Hot List? It hits all the hot buttons of current trends…zombies are back, unicorns are always magical and who doesn’t love the 80’s? It’s both retro and current all at the same time with totally bodacious artwork.  5. Funko Disney The Haunted Mansion - Call of the Spirits by Funko - Released in September of 2020, this game hits all the right buttons. It's the Haunted Mansion and Disneyland is closed. There are Hitchhiking ghosts miniatures and the artwork is beautiful. Why on the Hot List? It's Disney, Funko and the Haunted Mansion all rolled into one. It's tough to find a better combination.  6. Creatures and Cupcakes by Social Sloth Games – The storyline is feeding cupcakes to creatures! Need anything more be said? This press-your-luck game has an epic theme and is super cute with all the tiny little cupcakes. Why on the Hot List? As another Kickstarter success, this division of Grey Fox Games has also just begun hitting retail. Available on Amazon Creatures and Cupcakes will delight those younger players while sending the adults to the nearest bake shop.  7. Exiled Legends by TeeTurtle – From the creators of Unstable Unicorns comes Exiled Legends, a slightly more complex, strategic card game. Choose an exiled champion, assemble your team and defeat your enemies in this 30-60 minute game. Why on the Hot List? Based on the smashing success of the award-winning Unstable Unicorns, everything TeeTurtle touches seems to turn to gold. From the cool artwork and a similar mechanic, this game is no different in a successful execution.  8. Growl by Vigour, Inc. – Growl takes the social deduction game to a whole new level. Players don’t die off in this game…they simply turn into werewolves bite by bite, frightfully leaving a single player as the lone human. Why on the Hot List? Joey Vigour is the genius behind Chaosmos and with Growl as his first game under the banner of his own company, expect unbridled creativity to abound.  9. Funkoverse: Disney The Nightmare Before Christmas – It comes with four Funko figures from The Nightmare Before Christmas. It has a 4.9 rating on Amazon and is the number one selling game as of writing this post. The artwork is stellar on the game. Why on the Hot List? It's new, it's pretty-as-a-picture and it's currently Amazon's #1 selling game. Oh and it has 4.9 stars..  10. Mattel Games UNO Braille – there aren't very many games for the visually impaired. Mattel's commitment to diversity is unlike any other in the toy and game indusvvtry. UNO Braille is a prime example of that.
Why on the Hot List? While UNO has been around forever, it's important to bring to the forefront products that cater to an under-served market. UNO Braille does just that with it being one of the first and certainly few games that works for the blind and visually impaired.. Did we leave off your favorite? Let us know in the comments below what your top 10 games are.
