Answer: Uno

Yahtzee is a well known game where you roll dice to get the required combinations on a predetermined list. Kismet is very similar, but with a few different categories to roll. Bunco is a game for 4 players, competing in teams of two. Players attempt to roll the required numbers in a series of rounds. It is often played with large groups that switch tables. Uno is a card game.

9. Occasionally there are only two of us in the mood to pull out a game. Which one of the following games cannot be played with just two players?

Answer: Catch Phrase

"Catch Phrase" is a game that must be played in teams. One player gives clues to make the other player(s) guess the word(s) appearing in the window on the game wheel. Play passes back and forth between teams until time runs out, at which time the team not holding the wheel scores a point on the game board.

10. It's not a coincidence that nobody wants to play trivia games with me. Can you identify which of the following is NOT a trivia based board game?

Answer: Happenstance

The game Happenstance does not exist. It is a word that is defined as "a chance happening or event -- a coincidence". If you are looking for a fun game that levels the playing field a bit, give "Wits and Wagers" a try.
