Which one suits you?
Corner Chaos
A quick three-lap kart race on the TV, steered by turning your phone sideways like a wheel. Items from boxes – boost, oil slick, shield – keep the drivers at the back in with a chance.
Pick Corner Chaos when things can get loud and fast and you’ve got a TV.
Village at Night
A game of hidden roles: at night the wolves strike, by day the village tries to work out who’s lying. The TV narrates, so nobody has to sit out as game master.
Pick Village at Night when there are at least five of you and you enjoy arguing and reading people.
What they have in common
- Both work for 5–6 players.
- Both need a game table: Apple TV, iPad or Mac.
- Both come free with Gather and need no account.
