I think I want to give you a supportive, platonic hug after that comment.

Yes. Because you buy it, and then make friends to play with, otherwise it would be a bad purchase. RFDers don't make bad purchases.

In all seriousness though, these weren't designed to be single player games. (But it's enough of a deal to pre-invest for future good times?)

Do any of the games support controllers ? Someone mentioned phones to control (assuming the newer games perhaps?)

I remember seeing these when they came out, but always thought it was a keyboard game. 3 people around a single keyboard seems a bit akward..

Would love more info ! Thanks in advance :)

Everyone connects with their phone and controls it using that, you got website and enter a code to connect. The stuff is displayed on main display (computer monitor, tv screen).

Assuming the phone has wifi/data, then yeah. Up to 8 players for most of the big games.

Are these games good for families too (ie with kids around 12 years old)? Or, more an adult thing...

I don't think there's anything nsfw. I think they might enjoy drawful.

You can cast your PC to your smart TV with a Chromecast or something. Don't think the PS4 has steam support (not officially anyways).

These games are great. Great to play with friends, also an excellent icebreaker for parties where not everyone knows eachother. Can really get creative/funny.

This is what casual gaming would be. Would love if they implemented more "phone as controller" games. I bought all the PS4 playlink ones too the last sale they have. So good. Everyone has a phone these days.

I wish someone would make board games in this format, where you can see your own pieces/cards on ur phone and the board on the screen. All the fun without the wasted time of setting up and cleaning up after, dice rolling all over the place, people cheating (intentionally or otherwise), babies/pets knocking things over, people flipping the board cuz they lost, why hasn't this been done or has it?!

Just a warning, if you play these games enough times (I'd say 5+) the questions will start repeating but you probably won't remember the answer

thanks op.

Already got the 4 packs on my PS4 but having this on steam won’t hurt either. Always fun playing these games.

Looking forward to Pack 5
