Party
We’ve all been there. Show up late to a party with lots of strangers and nothing to do. Hear me out, just put down the phones, pass out some cards and nobody gets hurt! These games are sure to break the ice and get people talking. But BEWARE!!!
!!!PARTY GAMES ARE HIGHLY GROUP DEPENDENT!!!
This means you may have to try a couple different ones to find what your group enjoys most.
The games that work best in groups with a good mix of new and familiar faces leave room to improvise or replay the same cards with new contexts (See picks 1-3)
The more iffy games include one-line wonders whose magic sems to fade with every passing play (Cards Against Humanity, Million Dollars But..., Superfight, Joking Hazard)
Monikers
4-12 Players
For people who want a way to make inside jokes with anyone
Or people who want to win the award for “best use of arm based pantomiming in a supporting role”
Or people who just want the best game in the entire category
The Metagame
2-50 Players
For people who’d play a version of Card Against Humanity that doesn't punch down
Or people who enjoy pop cultural references
Or people who like a game that can be played 100 different ways
Red Flags
3-20 Players
For people who like learning about their friends
Or people who want to know what a “lesser evil” looks like
Or people who have been off the dating apps so long they and want to try again
Looks like you can only go up from here!
