What are your favourite games to play at a table with teens

We sometimes play card games after dinner at the table if we are away. We usually take a couple of board games too. I'm now looking for recommendations of games that don't take up much space and can be played with a couple of teens after dinner. So not monopoly or big board games! Any you have enjoyed?

We enjoy Pandemic here.

Rummy is always a family favourite here.

We enjoy playing poker as a family, when camping we use a bag of M&Ms as chips (which works ok until they keep eating all the blue ones 😂 ) Otherwise Shithead or 7s.

We also enjoyed a game called Soundiculous when they were a bit younger, but I’m not sure I could convince them to play it now! You basically make a noise and the other team have to guess what it is, but it’s much harder than it sounds, and we all ended up in hysterics most of the time.

Thank you! I didn't expect so many replies. Just about to read through and look up the suggestions.

Really recommend Monopoly Deal also. Monopoly is far too long a game for me to get involved, but Monopoly deal is really good. Teens and tweens here. Dobble also.

I've spent about an hour googling these games and making a list. Looking good!

Codenames!

We love chameleon, hours of fun second guessing each other. Also telestrations for a laugh and hive for a small game that is quick to learn but lots of strategy. And jungle speed is great fun, like complicated snap with violent wrangling over the grabby thingy. Also poetry for neanderthals is very funny - a twist on articulate with an inflatable "no stick" (club) to bash anyone who uses too many syllables Grin

Uno flip is fab.

We've just got dos. It's harder but it's a good one if you need to use some brain energy!

Dobble

Cards (we play rummy and beat Jack out of doors)

Temple run

We also have mini/travel games such as battleships.

We have a tiger neat is and have picked up lots of silly games, dots and hangman books etc.

The ungame is good too.

Also the little games you get in tins - make great stocking fillers and can be played over the next year.
