Strategy board game for 15 people?

[7inchesFromTheMiddaySun]

During the holidays we'll have some family come over and we like playing board games. We usually play 'silly' quiz-type games but I was wondering whether there are any strategy-type games that large groups can play together. It will be all adults. Any recommendations? Thank you!

That's a lot of players! Asked DH as he is into board games but he couldn't think of anything that goes over 6 players.

Not actual board games no, but there are some good card games. We used to play a lot, sadly I can't remember the names, let alone the rules! Google should be able to help though.

you could try games like risk in teams, but I fear the fall out could be awful!!

Try Werewolf, you can play that with loads of people!

What about making it like a tournament, 2 players per game, or 2 teams of 2 against each other, knock out competition with winners playing the winners of another team. Needs to be fairly quick games though or really dull for the ones who get knocked out.
Doesn't even need to be the same games, just have 4 or 8 random ones and pull out if a hat to decide who plays what? Hyping it up for a big final of dobble or something would add to the ridiculousness nicely 🤣

Or if you have the skills- poker tournament?

Thanks - we are really after something where we all play together, at the same time. Difficult I know....

Can't think of any board games, but how about something like Mafia? Works well for a group of that size, and can get realllllly fun/competitive! Lots of variations, www.kqed.org/pop/10178/how-to-play-mafia-an-in-depth-guide-to-the-perfect-holiday-game

The game of games, Mornington Crescent. Helps if many of you live or have travelled a lot in London.

Pandemic I think can be played with lots of players.
