Looking for party games like Jenga and Polarity, any suggestions?

Question

Hi.

I'm looking for games that are:

- Easy to learn

- Appropiate for a social gathering, that is, must encourage lively conversation instead of greed (no Monopoly) or deep meditation (no Chess).

- Not consisting of lots of small, easy-to-get-lost and difficult-to-set-up parts (no Puerto Rico)

- Lots of fun, and preferably lots of laughs, too.

So far, I've only found 2 that meet these criteria: Jenga and Polarity. Any other suggestions?

Answer 1

I personally like Scattergories, boggle, twister, and of course, APPLES TO APPLES. (One of my favorite games)

Answer 2

LCR! (Left Center Right)

Its consists simply of three dice. Great fun for everyone, and more fun when you use your own coins instead of the tokens provided. I got mine for $4 on ebay.

Answer 3

The best games are Cranium,  Cranium Pop Culture, and Head Banz

Answer 4

I love racko! Fast And fun!
