These Super Fun Group Games Were Made To Be Played Remotely

Getting together with your friends for game night is easy when you can all meet up at someone's house, but it becomes a little more challenging when you can't all get together. Thankfully there are still plenty of ways you can have fun and challenge each other from afar. To get started, you'll want to check out some virtual games. From Words with Friends 2 to Drawful 2, here are the six best group games to play remotely.

Of course it's always nice getting to together with your friends IRL, but with everyone's busy schedules, it might not always be possible. That's where remote games come in. Even if you can't all get together on a video chat to replicate game night, you can at least sign into a game on your phone to play a few rounds with your pals.
