Gaming consoles
These are the consoles that we use to play our favorite games. If you get them from Target and use your Red Card, you get a discount!
Playstation has a ton of games and you can digitally download most of them! It's an investment, but it's a one time purchase for a lifetime of fun game play!
PlayStation®5 | Play Has No Limits
We love the Switch! You can connect it to a TV or it can be it's own hand-held device so it's easy to bring on road trips and vacation!
Nintendo Switch Consoles - Target
Switch games
These are my absolute favorites that I've played on the Switch! All of these games are mostly 2 players, but there are games that let you play with 4 (or more) people. Check them out and let me know which ones you like and/or have played!
I'm accident prone when it comes to video games and this game was PERFECT for me! Playing this multi-player allows player 2 to be a jelly blob of Luigi and it's SO fun!! It took us about 6 months to fully finish this game and it was by far my favorit...
Luigi's Mansion 3 - Nintendo Switch
Also available on the PlayStation. This can be played with 1-4 players and you can play on teams if you decide. You're trying to kick each other off the island and it can get intense!
Brawlhalla - Nintendo Switch
This game is so funny! You and an other player are geese that just run around and terrorize the public.
Untitled Goose Game - Nintendo Switch
I love all the Mario Party games honestly. We just played this one recently and it's so fun! Play with up to 4 players.
Super Mario Party™ Jamboree for Nintendo Switch
Jackbox has a few game packs, but this one is my favorite. Players log in on their phone web browser so everyone can play easily (4+ players!). The games are so fun and it's perfect especially when you have guests over! Everyone plays on their own ph...
The Jackbox: Party Pack 3 - Nintendo Switch

I absolutely loved this game!! You and your ‘friend’ are in a spaceship trying to accomplish all these wild missions and there are a few crazy obstacles in your way! It gets chaotic! Have you ever played it??
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime - Nintendo Switch
This has become one of my all time favorite games! We made our base so cute and I love going around blessing our followers and dancing with them haha if you've enjoyed any of these games on this list, I highly recommend checking this one out! Let me ...
Cult of the Lamb – Nintendo Switch
This one is SO fun! You get to pick your ship and pick your weapons and characters - they all have their own perks. I highly recommend checking it out!
Ship of Fools | Nintendo Switch
Another great one! You are two string people connected to each other and you have to work together to get through the levels. It makes you get creative!
Unravel 2 | Nintendo Switch
PlayStation
We love the PlayStation! It can do so many things honestly. We use it to stream shows and movies. I have a list of all the shows and movies that we watch in my date night on a budget list if you're looking for recommendations!
We've re-played this game about 5 times! You unlock new characters and new weapons every time. This is just one of those ‘never gets old’ games for me.
Castle Crashers - PlayStation
Perfect split screen game! This is a shooter game - I'd say it's middle level difficulty. There are a ton of side missions and it's taken us a long time to finish which is saying a lot because we play almost every night!
Borderlands 3 - PlayStation
Also available on the Switch, but we played on the PlayStation. I love this game! It's a decent size so it takes a while to get through it all. I hear a lot of great feedback about this game! Have you played?!
It Takes Two - Playstation
Also available on Switch. This is a fan favorite when we have people over! You play as a blob person and you fight each other. It's hysterical!
Gang Beasts - PlayStation
I love pushing R2D2 over the edge and hearing him scream haha I highly recommend any Lego game like this, honestly.
LEGO® Star Wars™ - PlayStation
This game can be so suspenseful! These two are faced with some interesting adventures and it's a pretty good sized game - it has a solid storyline too!
Knights and Bikes - Playstation Store
This game made me cry at the end! It's a great game and a wild storyline. Have you ever played?
A Way Out - PlayStation
Available on switch too! This game is a blast and it’s free! Only one player but it’s hysterical - take turns and enjoy the chaos lmao

Everyone has been raving about this game, but we just downloaded a ton of other new games. Have you played this one yet?!
Split Fiction | PlayStation (US)
Card games
I'm a sucker for a good card game! These are the few staple games that we play on a regular basis. I included video tutorials on how to play.
This video walks you through how to play. It is a little confusing at first, but I promise it's a lot easier once you get past the setup. - We deal 3 cards face down, 3 face up, 3 more face down. In that order. Leave 3 cards of your choice facing dow...
10s and 2s card game
This video shows you how to play and it's a lot more straight forward than 10s and 2s (I still recommend playing 10s and 2s)

This game is similar to the tank game everyone knows, but you can make your own lobby and play with a friend! There are tons of fun weapons and maps! - and it’s a free app!
