Point games are basically detectors of lies of friendship. You think you're just moving around, and then suddenly someone is stuck, your carefully built bridges are gone, or your “ally” just stabbed you in the back and laughed. Sure, you can play candies and smile politely, but where is the fun?
Some board games are fast friendship killers, others are slow and cook betrayal that lasts for hours. Either way, you will learn who is secret at the table. Maybe you won't invite your soft friends to these board games.
Putsch
The fastest way to realize that your friends are championship liars
A coup is a kind of game that teaches you very quickly that all your friends are professional liars.

Game of Thrones: Board game
The fastest way to realize that your friends are ruthless backstabers
This one not only ends friendship, but smooths them. Imagine a six -hour session where the only way to survive is to promise loyalty, build alliances, and then stop the people themselves who have kept you alive. It's the top of Westeros, really.
You will smile over the table and then, without hesitation, march your army into their fortress because you win like that. In the end, someone will feel like Ned Stark, someone else's Cersei sips wine and at least one friendship is in ruins. The real iron throne was friends we enjoyed on the way.
Cosmic meeting
The fastest way to realize that your friends are galactic traitors

Hey that's my fish!
The fastest way to realize that your friends are cold -blooded penguins
Do not be fooled by cute penguins; This game is wild. You are moving with a penguin, collecting fish tile and reaching other players in the ice forgot. It takes about two minutes to realize that he has been imprisoned on a sad small corner of the zero movements on the left.

Kahuna
The fastest way to realize that your friends are specialists in the burning of bridges

Secret Hitler

The accusations fly, the form of alliances, and then either hit Hitler or by accident. Either way, someone is called to be too suspicious, and conversations after the game usually last longer and are more heated than the game itself. After all, democracy dies in table games.
