What makes a great game gift for a sister
Sisters usually play games in one of three settings: a girls' night with her friends, a cozy night in with a partner, or a family holiday where the two of you end up on the same team. The best gift fits the setting she lives in most. Ask yourself who she would play it with this month, not in theory. If the answer is her book club, pick a conversation game. If it is a toddler, pick something with slapping.
Under $15
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza: for the sister who is the fun aunt
Players: 2 to 8 (7+) · Price: about $10 · Check Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza on Amazon
Flip cards while chanting taco, cat, goat, cheese, pizza, and slap the pile when the card matches the word. Last hand down takes the pile. It is the game kids beg the fun aunt to play, and it is just as chaotic after a glass of wine with adults.
Rules: how to play Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza.
Skip it if: she prefers quiet games. This one gets loud.
$15 to $30
We're Not Really Strangers: our top pick for sisters
Players: 2 to 6 (15+) · Price: about $25 · Check We're Not Really Strangers on Amazon
We're Not Really Strangers is a card game of questions in three levels: Perception, Connection and Reflection. It starts light, with guesses about first impressions, and builds to the conversations people rarely have. The box holds 150 question and wildcard cards for two to six players.
It is the rare game that works for siblings. You think you know everything about each other, and then a card proves you wrong. It is also a great gift for a sister who hosts friends, because it fills a quiet evening without anyone feeling like they are at a party.
Our guide to playing We’re Not Really Strangers explains the levels.
Skip it if: she hates heavy conversations. Pick Taco Cat or Wrong Answers Only.
Disturbed Friends: for the sister with a group chat full of dark jokes
Players: 2+ (15+) · Price: about $25 · Check Disturbed Friends on Amazon
One player reads an outrageous question, everyone secretly picks an answer, and the reveal shows who thinks alike and who is the most disturbed. You score by matching answers. With 250 question cards in the box, a friend group gets a lot of nights out of it.
Rules: how to play Disturbed Friends.
Skip it if: she mostly plays with family. Save this for the friend group.
Answer This: Friends: for the sister who swears she knows everyone best
Players: 2+ (teens and adults) · Price: about $24 · Check Answer This: Friends on Amazon
Players answer questions about each other, like a sibling's first concert or a parent's first car, on little whiteboards. First to ten correct answers wins. It comes with 150 question cards, 6 whiteboards and 6 markers, and it works for friend groups and family reunions alike.
Rules: how to play Answer This.
Skip it if: her friends are newer. It works best with shared history.
Just One: for the sister who hates losing
Players: 3 to 7 (8+) · Price: about $24 · Check Just One on Amazon
A cooperative word game: one player guesses a mystery word while everyone else writes a one-word clue. Matching clues cancel out, so the team has to be clever without being obvious. Everyone wins or loses together, which keeps sibling rivalry friendly.
Rules: how to play Just One.
Skip it if: she lives for winning outright. There is no individual winner.
Splurge
Wavelength: for the sister who throws the parties
Players: 2 to 12+ · Price: about $35 · Check Wavelength on Amazon
One player sees a hidden target on a spectrum, like overrated to underrated, and gives a clue. Their team turns the dial to guess where it lands. The best part is the arguing, which makes it perfect for a sister whose living room is always full.
Rules: how to play Wavelength.
Skip it if: she rarely has more than one or two people over.
