Our Favourite Games
​to Relax at the Cottage
Author: Emily Bradshaw - January 2020

January is almost over but we’re still in the heart of the chilly season! And with two months to go before springtime, why not get outside and play in the snow! If you’re like many Canadians, you might be planning a weekend getaway to the cottage to make the most of your winter activities. And what’s even more fun than a full day of skiing, sledding, skating or a good old snowball fight? Warming up in the evening by a roaring fire! To add to the fun of fireside nights with family and friends, why not throw in some laughs over a great game!

We’ve come up with a list of our top picks to liven up your après-ski evenings.​

ICE TEAM

Ice Team is a winter-themed two-player game perfect for a little faced-paced action between friends. As the head of your team of polar bears, you’re in a frantic race among slippery ice floes to collect as many fish as possible and get them to the finish line! 

HEY, THAT’S MY FISH!

Hey, That’s My Fish! is another wintry game that’s perfect for the cottage. Similar to Ice Team, but allowing more players, this award-winning, easy-to-learn strategy game has rivals try to catch as many fish as possible with their waddle of penguins. The player who collects the most fish wins. 

CHROMINO

A refreshing variant of Dominoes, Chromino uses colors instead of numbers as a new way to engage the mind. The beauty of this game is its versatility, with rules that can be adapted to suit both expert and novice players. In addition, it can be played solo or with a group of up to eight. Perfect for intimate or larger cottage gatherings.

TOTEM

Known as the “#1 Feel-Good Game”, Totem is the perfect option for cozy cottage evenings with loved ones. Experience a unique bonding experience and establish a deeper connection with family and friends with this game where players reveal exactly what they love about each other.
