<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MUST-HAVES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re going to spend a day at the beach, you\u2019ll need sun protection with a good SPF. And don\u2019t forget to reapply every 2\u20133 hours.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add your favorite hat (to avoid heatstroke in style), a pair of sunglasses and two towels (one for swimming and one for sunbathing) and you\u2019re all set!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need a tip for a successful tan? Alternate playing games in the sun and in the shade to make sure you don\u2019t burn. And speaking of games, this next title lasts just long enough to get in some vitamin D, without burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRO TIPS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a well-known fact that playing in the sun makes you thirsty! Don\u2019t forget to bring enough water to stay hydrated all day long. In addition to lots of H2O, why bring along a refreshing homemade lemonade to sip on the beach. Yum! And to go with this quintessential summer thirst-quencher, here are a few suggestions for quick games that are super satisfying, without being mentally demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gathering of the Wicked<\/a>
Age: 10+ \/ Players: 6\u201312 \/ Duration: 15\u201330 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A hidden-identity game based on the mechanics of the now-famous Werewolves of Miller\u2019s Hollow<\/em><\/a>, Gathering of the Wicked<\/a><\/em> transports you to a devastated kingdom where villains reign as tyrants. Embodying the illustrious villains of the Disney universe, you must use your wits to find out who you can trust. But, in a world where everyone is wicked, is there really anyone you can trust?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just One<\/a>
Age: 8+ \/ Players: 3\u20137 \/ Duration: 15\u201330 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A must-have for family parties and get-togethers with friends, Just One<\/a><\/em> is perfect for when you want to \u201cswitch off\u201d. How does it work? One player is the \u201cguesser\u201d, and other players each give a clue (one word). But watch out! If two players give the same clue, it gets discarded before it\u2019s even revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LITTLE EXTRAS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Be like the cool kids and bring your lunch to the beach to reduce waste.
And after lunch, take a break to avoid cramps (that\u2019s what mom says!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep the kids (and parents) entertained during the break, why not play a little game?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ticket to Ride \u2013 Express \u2013 New York<\/a>

A colourful alternative to traditional dominoes, Chromino<\/a><\/em> is a great lunchtime game. Each player in turn places a chromino on the board, making sure to connect 2 squares of the same colour. The first player to place all his chrominoes wins the game. Pretty simple, right? Sure, but your opponents will try to block you, so keep your wits about you. A simple, but surprisingly addictive game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
