1 2 Switch
This is a really fun looking party based series of games. One of the selling points here is that playing the game does not require looking at the screen, but at your opponents eyes instead. Great for icebreakers, events etc. There’s some examples like a Standoff Shootout Duel, sword fighting and magic casting. looks fun and incorporates the HD Rumble
