Big Laughs with Big Potato Games

They deliver a great break away from the screens, the dishes and other tasks and allow you to have some fun with the family without having to commit to two or three hours of gameplay.

Our Overall Game Winner: You Can’t Say Umm
Overall Score: 9.6/10
Age 10+
4-10 Players
You Can’t Say Umm is no ordinary card game – it’s a fast-paced, hilarious challenge that will keep players on their toes. The rules are simple: talk about a given topic without saying “umm.” Players draw cards with prompts like “If I ruled the world” or “My secret talent” and must deliver a smooth speech while racing against the clock.
Slip up or say “umm,” and you’ll face a funny penalty!
Ideal for parties, family get-togethers, or game nights with friends, You Can’t Say Umm guarantees nonstop fun and laughs for everyone.

“For a simple game, this was HEAPS of fun. A major hit in this house. Simple in concept but mad fun in execution.” Belinda
“Laughter all around for this fun-filled game! The game was easy to learn and once we started playing, we couldn’t stop. The kids loved hitting the bell as soon as they caught someone out. It’s definitely a new family favourite to play.” Christine
“You really MUST give it a play to understand JUST how challenging it can be!” Amy S.

Winner for Family Gatherings: The Chameleon
Overall Score: 9.5/10
Ages 14+
Up to 8 players
The Chameleon is the ultimate bluffing and deduction game that keeps everyone guessing! Each round, players have one of two roles:
Mission 1 – If you’re the Chameleon, blend in and try to guess the Secret Word without being caught.
Mission 2 – If you’re not the Chameleon, use your detective skills to expose the imposter without revealing the Secret Word.
With simple rules and endless chances for deception, The Chameleon is perfect for family game nights with tweens and teens! Can you outwit the imposter?
WHAT DID OUR REVIEWERS SAY?
“A fabulous family game. It can be super quick, or you can play for longer, so it suits any time of the day or night. A great way for a wide range of ages to have fun together.” Alicia
“Best fun you can have to lie to each other without repercussions!” Belinda

Our Winner for LOLs: Herd Mentality
Overall Score: 9.5/10
Ages 10+
4+ players
Herd Mentality is the ultimate party game where thinking like the herd is your ticket to victory! With easy-to-learn rules and hilarious gameplay, it’s a hit with families, friends, and even cowboys.
The goal? Match answers with your group to collect cows and claim the title of herd champion. But watch out – if you stand out from the crowd, you’ll end up with the dreaded Pink Cow, which will hold you back until you can pass it on.
The first to gather eight cows wins, making Herd Mentality a game full of fun and laughs for everyone!
WHAT DID OUR REVIEWERS SAY?
“So many laughs had, I must say was a bit brutal at times, but so much fun! Will definitely be keeping this game in rotation for family games night!” Mike
“A hilarious game full of fun questions and even funnier answers! The perfect birthday or Christmas gift.” Amy S.
“I really loved that it contained no plastics in the entire game packaging. It’s made entirely of paper and cardboard (with the plush cow too). My kids and I had a ball playing, lots of laughs and is great for my 9 year old who can have a short attention span at times. My kids rated it “5 out of 5 Big Potatoes”. Entertainment for the entire family with lots of laughs!” Tamara
Our Winner for Creative Minds: Block Party
Overall score: 9/10
Ages 8+
2-6 players
Block Party is the ultimate block-building guessing game, blending the creativity of Pictionary with the hands-on fun of building! Ideal for family get-togethers, players must construct secret objects using colourful wooden blocks instead of drawing. Just pick a secret object from your card and start building with the provided blocks. With simple rules and family-friendly play, Block Party is bound to be a crowd-pleaser at your next game night or party.
Lego Masters meets Pictionary, Block Party sees players craft secret objects out of colourful blocks and get your team mates to guess them.
WHAT DID OUR REVIEWERS SAY?
“A great game to play, especially with younger players. We had fun and there was lots of laughter.” Cathy
“Fun, creative and fast-paced game to keep you engaged. Love the challenge of creating objects out of blocks!” Amy M
“A lot of fun to play! Everyone is involved in the game and gets to be creative with their builds whilst one player is the guesser. We all laughed at the failures and awed at the successes, we stole guesses and enjoyed the challenges. It was a great way to spend time together!” Amy S
