Game experience: 9.5/10
This is a great game to play especially in a big group setting where more responses to the black card played can be gathered. Hilarious and interesting answers are read out together with the questions for full effect. From the game, you get to see the” naughty” side of your friends 😂
Though it can be a little inappropriate and offensive, do take the game with a light heart and just enjoy the experience!
** I heard there is a Singaporean Version of Cards against Humanity and they are called Limpehsays.

Game experience: 7.5/10
The game is a great way to teach about the most complex subject: life. In life, we are often thrown with choices and have to weigh the pros and cons of them, and also unexpected events that occur here and there which may make us lose our footings in life. The emphasis on the monetary value is something about the game which i dislike but overall, this game is fun and educational.
4. Ludo Airplane chess
Description
One of the old school games in Singapore!! ( Or so in my case, it is one of my childhood games)
This game is about racing with the other players to get the four tokens(or airplanes) from the yard back to the home base in a clockwise-direction.
Game requirements
Players: 2-4 players
Age: 3+

Call me biased but I would give this the highest rating because it is simple and fun at the same time! It is a great game to reminisce about the old childhood times 😊
Last but not least, we could not leave out the ultimate ..
5. Monopoly

Players move around the game-board buying, trading, or selling properties, developing their properties with houses and hotels, and collecting rent from their opponents, with the goal being to drive them all into bankruptcy, leaving one monopolist in control of the economy.
Game requirements
Players: 2-8 players

To be honest, I do enjoy Monopoly very much at the first hour when we are all still fresh into the game but it does get draggy. Nonetheless, it is a great game to kill time with friends ( and hopefully not kill the relationships)
