What are some fun and exciting games that I can play with a group of women?

Question

I have a women's group and I am planning an event to be held at my home in June. We are going to have cocktails, appetizers and then go into game night. I want to play interactive games like Outburst, Guesstures, Scattegories, Trivial Pursuit, Cranium, Charades, Pictionary, etc. I will also have cards and dominoes for the old school people.

Most of these women are in there late 30's and early to mid 40's. Some of them may be a little older as well. I am almost 30, so I don't want this event to be boring. I want to keep the party alive so people don't get sleepy or want to go home early.

What are some other games I can play with the group that are fun and cause a lot of laughter? They don't have to be board games. I am planning to have a 3 to 5 question survey and everyone tell a little about themselves, but I really want this to be fun. Any suggestions?

I'm 28  and I've played it a couple of times. It's cool!

Have fun!

Answer 4

Perfect for them, I think is CLUE. All people in that age group love Clue, apparently. Another they would love is Battle of the sexes (board game). It's really cool, it looks like this:

Cranium is a great idea by the way!

Answer 5

I would say Apples to Apples is a good choice. Or maybe Wits and Wagers.
