10 Best Board Games For The Pub

"Heads will Roll" great pub game. Have 2 bronze and 2 silver skulls, plus a shield and a treasure chest. Roll them like dice on the table and try and flick the shield to touch the chest for 1 point. But if you go through a pair of skulls get bonus points, 1 for bronze 2 for silver, and another flick. A bit of push your luck and Dexterity game.

Push it.
"The drink is in game and you're not allowed to touch it"
That's how bodies start to pile up around me, by denying me my drink.

5D Chess

I’ve always thought that “Pairs” would be a great pub game. At the end of every game there’s exactly one loser. Guess who buys the next round?

fantastic list!

Fandooble is a great pub game. 3 dice, dragons, wizards, thieves and knights all battle it out to win you gold. All in a pocket sizes pouch.

Thanks

My mate owns a pub and we play twilight imperium there. The looks from the patrons are priceless

Great list! Thanks! Would like to see more interactive games, cause i like them the most (Coup, Cosmic Encounter and Kuhhandel are some of ny favourites)

Games I have played many times at the pub Pass The Pigs, Games I have played now and again, Get Bit, Sushi Go Party, Undersea Adventure and Tiny Epic Galaxies. Various weights for various groups!

No Cribbage?! Literally such a institution, it was only legal game you can play for money in a pub!

Took Kluster to the pub the other night. We placed all the magnets immediately and none of them attracted to each other.
It was at this point that we realised that beneath the wooden surface, the enormous cast iron base of the table was holding the magnets in place. 😂

Thank you for recommending Push It - it contains all the joy of Crokinole with none of the massive physical obstacles to owning it, and has become one of my all-time favorite games to play with friends.

I loved Skull, but I'd like to know if it is a bad batch, but we could know precisely which ones were the skulls face-down due to colors not being consistent.

Try “Bang! The Dice Game” plus both expansions!

After a great search I finally found and purchased the skull.
This is truly a masterpiece.
I've played with my friends multiple times and with colleagues. And I wanna play more.
Now I'm also waiting for my cockroach poker to arrive

Thank you this is a great list

I finally know that it’s called Perudo

Nobody Carrie’s cockroach poker royal

Skull is my personal number 1 pub game and, no Love Letter? But I think I'll have to give this Kingless game a go! I usually don't play these "take that"/"screw your friends" style of games like Munchkin or Unstable Unicorns because the game goes on for too long and the winner isn't who played better, but who was fortunate enough to make the winning play without being stopped. But having two ways to win and a clock on the playtime might muddle things up enough that there's genuine strategy here. And the theme is just superb.

Thanks for the Skull recommendation! I picked it up last week and just played it at my local board game night, was a lot of fun!

3 more I would like to add to that:
1 night ultamate warewolf (or a spin off), as long as the pubs not too loud that you can hear one of your phones speakers this is a great game of "NO YOUR A LIER" and gets stupid after a few drinks, many good times with this one

resistence. set in the same world as coup. another lier game but lasts a little longer, and fairly simple

finally, Bang, I think I have an adiction to co op with difector games haha, but this ones good if your planning to stick around for more than 1 pint

I need to try that Skull game

Funny ryryiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkiioiiiooooooooo

quarto is an absolute fantastic game, don't know if I would take it to the pub though. bought coachroach poker royal because of this video, it's excellent

Just recently found this channel, loved the Thing play through. Just ordered Klusta, what a great game especially for lil ones to keep them entertained and not on an ipad

It’s your tasty videos that made me buy say anything. Now i’ll probably buy Quattro too and Kluster. Stop making me poor and drunk.

damn you for putting push it! on the list as it's OOP as I found out after searching everywhere for it :D

Where on earth did you obtain Push It? It's absolutely physically absent from every retailer and website.

Battleshots owner shakes his head in disappointment

We need to talk!

I can’t find kluster anywhere 😭😭

I was afraid there was not going to be a reference to the Cornetto Trilogy in this video, but luckily I was wrong.

Any idea where I can find "Push it" for sale? Looks like the game no longer exists on the market 😢

This is EXACTLY the list I was looking for! That y’all! New subscriber earned!

Push It was the game I wanted the most and unfortunately the one I can't find in US

I LOVE Liars Dice!!!! I remember being introduce to this in Red Dead Redemption!!! Still play it in real life.

Hive. Sprawlopolis.

Liars Dice is a blast to play!

Havent watched the video yet but perudo has to be on here! Countless hours, pints and laughs have been had playing that in our local! So much so it inspired the pub to provide its own games now!

Fantastic list. We are ordering several of these for our board game bar.. er…. Lounge. Sadly I think Push It is out of print and very difficult to find.

Pool 😄 The greatest pub dexterity board game ever👍

Nice list, though I wonder how easy they are to explain once everyone had to much to drink.

A great moment I saw in a game coup was this exchange by 2 players
Player 1: I'll do Anything
Player 2:then perish

Late comment but Hive is the perfect pub game for two players because you can spill beer or tequila all over the pieces and they just wash right off.

Hey, Adam! I actually got Skull based purely on your recommendation on this list! Thank you so much!

A few Oink games a great for the pub. Deep Sea Adventure, Fake Artist Goes to New York, and Insider. Some other favorites would be Skull King, Scout, Las Vegas dice game.

What a great list and well crafted video about it. Except, did you check roachpoker cards against liquid? They take to it like.. well like roaches! One tiny drop and they swell up and are ruined, because they're reckognizable after that. I lost a toad from that. Bye, Toady, we had a good run! But yes, gamewise what tremendous fun and excitement!

Coup, Skull, and Cockroach Poker are all amazing and in my collection; excellent recommendations. Pairs is another excellent little pub game. Well worth a try.
