Does anyone have any good suggestions on a fun game to play with about 5 couples at a dinner party? We are invited to a good friends house for dinner and games and everyone is to bring a fun game to play and I am looking for a new one other than "Scene-it or Cranium". Thanks for your help!

The best game in the world for large groups of say 6 to 12 people is PIT!

Its a very old game, unadvertised but still available. In fact if you search ebay you can sometimes find classic versions from the 40's

Play it once and you will love it...so what is it? Its a trading game where folks are dealt and hand of special cards and then have a limited time to (with mass hysteria) to trade with other players to complete a group. Its that simple but a blast to play. WARNING, it can get LOUD!! AND FUN!!!

Besides Cranium, we like Balderdash, Pictionary, Scattergories, Yahtzee, Trivial Pursuit, Clue and Taboo. And, if you're into Dominoes, I love to play Chickenfoot!

We had a friend bring "The Great Dalmuti" to our house last year, and just loved it! It does require a table that everyone can sit at, since it's a card game. It's a blast!

We've had loads of fun playing Sequence. With a large group, you can play teams, which makes it fun. It's simple, but involves some strategy. Even my kids love it.

Taboo!!! It is so much fun and really gets everyone laughing! You will want to play it everytime! We play it all of the time with our couple friends and everyone loves it. You can buy it at Target or Walmart.

We have had a great time with friends playing Balderdash. It is a game where you have to make up definitions for real words that are obscure and mostly unknown. Then every one votes on the correct definition giving points to the one that gets the most votes. You can buy the game or just play it using a dictionary.

Catch Phrase is a favorite of ours. It is alwasy played at our Sunday school parties. Everyone sits in a circle, and the teams are divided into 2....split every other person. It is an electronic handheld game that you pass around the circle. There are clues in the chosen category and you try to have your team members guess your word. You can do anything but say the word. Always lots of fun. And we always look forward to it.

Tri-bond is fun. it lists 3 items and you have to guess what they have in common. for example, a tree, an elephant and a car ..... their common bond is.... a trunk. it's a fun game. you can find it at a thrift store too... that's where we got ours. ~C.~

I just played a new game with a friend of ours last weekend. I think it is called CLR?? It consists of 3 dice and some chips. You just roll the dice and pass the chips. It was pretty fun. She said that her husband plays the game and instead of using the chips, they use a dollar bill. It was a lot of fun. Either that or Bunko. That is a lot of fun too!
have a great time!
