At least in my group of friends, some of the games we play most often naturally get nicknames based on the game’s theme. For example:

  • Wingspan = Bird Game
  • Betrayal At House On The Hill = Spooky House (and I also have the kids Scooby-Doo themed version of Betrayal, aka Scooby Spooky House)
  • Flamecraft = Dragon Game

It’s to the point where I sometimes forget our nicknames aren’t the actual titles, and only realize I need to clarify when talking to somebody outside my usual group. Do you have any fun/silly nicknames for the games you play?
