This version of Charades is the ultimate party companion. It solves the biggest problem with the classic game: coming up with ideas. The categories are surprisingly diverse, ranging from '90s Hits' to 'Obscure Animal Behaviors,' which keeps the game fresh even after hours of play. The interface is clean and the tilt-to-record-score mechanic is sensitive enough that you aren't fighting the phone while trying to act like a teapot.
What sets this apart is the video recording feature. Being able to watch back the ridiculous gestures your friends made after the round is over adds a layer of hilarity that a physical deck of cards just can't provide. It’s a must-have for any social gathering, though I would love to see more free packs added in future updates to keep the variety high for non-premium users.
