Can anyone recommend a game for a family of adults and older teens. Nothing that goes on too long ie monopoly! So far I have Jenga but looking for something else that will give us a good laugh. I was looking at Mr & Mrs but the teens maybe won't be interested in that. Thanks!

Onilove · 16/12/2021 08:02

Thanks, lots of suggestions to look at! I'm pretty rubbish at picking a good game.
I did have a look at Articulate, the video adverts for it are hilarious.

Love the train game.

LauraHeart321 · 16/12/2021 09:21

Cranium is also a great one for families Smile

One night ultimate werewolf, have a look at the game played on YouTube, it's so much fun.

MachiKoro · 16/12/2021 11:19

Cash and Guns - plays up to 8, it's brilliant.

Sushi Go Party

Throw Throw Burrito

Exploding Kittens

All fairly quick to play and uncomplicated.

We often play Uno or dobble. I buy a new family game every year - brain fart was popular last year and this year I’ve gone for Debatable as we all love a good “debate”

I've gone for herd mentality, calm your tits and Colt Express. We did a games Sunday during lockdown and assuming January is a write off - we'll do the same again. The kids have said they've missed Games Sunday.

We've loved telestrations, pictionary, blokus, the mind, rummikub, bank attack, colour brain.

Avalon and One Night Ultimate Werewolf are fun party games which work well with 5+ although Avalon is more fun with 7 or more in my opinion.

SickAndTiredAgain · 16/12/2021 13:08

Beat that!

It’s very silly, but fun.

Telestrations
Stuff and Nonsense
Consequences

Oh this sounds a good idea, we used to do this when the kids were younger it was always fun. I will need to coax the moody teen to take part now though.

I’ve also just ordered poetry for Neanderthals - sounds fun

One night a Werewolf is good for a group.

Scattagories. Lots of laughs and suitable for all ages . We always have a good laugh at some of the answers some people come up with

Onilove · 16/12/2021 17:21

Articulate comes out year after year in this house despite buying new ones. It suits all our ages and is hilarious especially when had a few drinks
