How many are you? What to do at home by group size

Updated:

What works at home depends mostly on how many of you there are: with 2, co-op and head-to-head games; with 4, 2v2 teams; with 5–8, bluffing games where everyone plays at once. Whatever the number, open padconsole.com on the TV and everyone scans the QR code with their phone; no console needed. Pick your group size below.
