We are having friends over tomorrow and would love some ideas for fun games. We'll have 6 people (3 couples) and there will be drinking and food - any card games, board games or other types of games that anyone could recommend would be great. We all know eachother pretty well and love to laugh and have a good time. Looking forward to your ideas. (I immediately thought of Presidents and *kitten*, but I figure at 38 - 40 years old, maybe we're too old for that now??)

Thanks!

    My question is... what's Presidents and *kitten*. Sounds like my type of game (maybe), and at 26 hopefully I'm not too old for it! :)

    You're not too old! My husband and I have a group of friends that get together and we love playing those old college drinking games. Granted, we don't drink nearly as much as we used to!!

    But a great board game that we absolutely LOVE is called Smart *kitten* - just googled it and it popped up on Walmart's website. It's a trivia game that's really fun.

    Have fun with your friends!

    Catch phrase is the best party game ever! Especially if you get the guys against the girls.

    You also can't go wrong with Taboo. =)

    Have you played the card game DOG?

    If there are 6 people playing, take 6 sets of cards from a deck.
    4 Kings, 4, Queens, 4 5's...

    Shuffle the cards and deal them all out.
    Everyone should have 4 cards.

    Start passing cards one at a time to the person to your right.
    The game should move quickly.

    When you have four of a kind, quietly stop passing cards and put your finger on your nose.
    The last person to notice and put a finger on their nose is the DOG.


    Have fun whatever you play!

    These are a few neat ideas that don't require purchasing a board game and they have interaction with everone. Especially if you're a close group and aren't afraid to be silly! :D Have fun!

    My in-laws always play poker when they have a group over. We rotate around the table and each person gets to call their favorite game. It's always very fun, but the down side is that we usually end up staying up until 4 in the morning playing.

    Cranium is a fun game!
    it combines card game, board game, charades, pictionary, etc to make one big super-game.. i love it!

    as far as drinking games, i like to get Truth or Dare Jenga and write my own little rules on the blank blocks such as: "take 3 drinks" or "make a monkey sound each time you're about to talk" or "chug for 5 seconds"

    hope you have a ball! :drinker:

    There's actually a board game out there called Sex Drive. I played with a group of friends and we had the best time! It's basically a dirty "adult" version of Cranium. lol Not sure if it's readily available or if you have to go thru novelty shops or online. It belonged to my friend, not sure where she got it. But if you can find it, it's killer for a group of fun loving adults. :) Hand and Foot is a fun card game (you need at least 4 decks of cards tho). Apples to Apples (as suggested by many others) is way fun with groups. My hubby and I have played "drinking Life"... makes the game so much more fun!

    We love scattegories!!! and I also bought a JENGA and turned into a fun drinking game. I wrote on each block something they have to do after they pull it out (whether it be give out or take so many drinks/ trade an article of clothing with the person next to you/ sing your fav brittney spears song for 30 secs/ be beer ***** for so many rounds/ they can only pull blocks with their other hand from now on/ stuff like that) it really gets things going. and of course who ever knocks it over has to chug their drink. I have a gazillion drinking games I kinda the queen of them haha let me know if you'd like more :)

    ah someone above talked about drinking jenga! it's a lot of fun. there is also a game called Partini, it's like cranium but it's a drinking game, i found it at target.
