Awkward (2018)

Similar to Jackbox but more personal, wouldn't work as well with people who don't know each other that well. I've mostly played with one more person and it works great.

The game consists of 3 rounds, in the first one you answer quite easy and tame questions ("Pineapple on pizza, yay or nay?", "Do you believe in ghosts?") and you have to guess what the other said. On the second round questions start to get more interesting ("Have you ever cat-called or wolf-whistled at a stranger?", "Do starving children or abused animals upset you most?"). The last round is where the game really shines and things get actually awkward, with questions like "Would you rather save the life of your mother or your significant other?", or "Who do you think is more sexually adventurous, your mother or player 2's mother?". There are 2 questions for each person in round 1 and 2, and 1 question in round 3. You can also see how the rest of the world answered after every question.

The bad part is when you play again, is still the same formula and it gets a bit boring to answer if you'd rather have a Pina Colada or a Bloody Mary for round 1 when you have already answer much more interesting questions. It would be great if it kept escalating on awkwardness the more games you play, or have an option to play more awkward questions.

Overall is a lot of fun, with some very embarrassing questions that will teach you a lot about the other person, and even some thought-provoking questions about morals, politics and social issues that will make you discuss them.
