Giant UNO: 9.2/10
Price: From $8/pax
Feeling nostalgic already? UNO is a game that everyone must have played in their early years. A deck of cards is distributed equally among all the players. The game format is as simple as getting rid of all the giant UNO cards as quickly as you can. The player who finishes all the deck of cards places first in the game.
But the main pitch is you don’t have to forget to scream UNO loudly when you have only one card left otherwise you’ll get a penalty by getting more cards. The cards are, however, giant in size so you must make sure to hide your deck from your opponents. Giant UNO makes an amazing yet exciting national day game.

Giant Snake & Ladder: .2/10
Price: From $8/pax
Another classic childhood game, snake & ladder falls on this list of exciting Singapore national day games. Unlike the board game where a counter represents you, the giant snack & ladder allows you to stand yourself on the giant board. The floorboard consists of 100 boxes full of snakes and a ladder. While the ladder will take you up the board leading to the victory box, the snake will ‘’bite’’ you down the board and lessens your chance of winning.
The player who reaches the final 100th box places first. The game is played with giant dice with six sides having six different figures (from 1 to 6) on them. It is surely a must-play game for the national day.
