What are the best games to play at parties?

Hey there! Parties are always a blast, and what better way to bring people together than with some awesome board games? Whether you're hosting a family gathering or a get-together with friends, I've got you covered with the best games to play at parties. If you're unsure about how to host a board game party, check out our guide on hosting the ultimate board game party. Let's dive in!

1. Codenames: This is a fantastic party game that will have everyone on the edge of their seats. Split into two teams, players take turns giving one-word clues to help their teammates guess the secret words on the board. It's a game of deduction and teamwork that guarantees lots of laughs and excitement.

2. Telestrations: If you love a good game of Pictionary, you'll adore Telestrations. It's a hilarious combination of drawing and guessing. Each player starts with a word or phrase and has to draw it. Then, they pass their drawing to the next player, who has to guess what it is. The fun begins when the drawings and guesses get passed around the table, resulting in hilarious misinterpretations.

3. Dixit: If you're looking for a game that sparks creativity and imagination, Dixit is perfect. It's also one of our top 10 family-friendly board games. Each player has a hand of beautifully illustrated cards and takes turns being the storyteller. The storyteller chooses a card and gives a clue or a phrase that describes it. The other players then choose a card from their hand that they think matches the clue. The goal is to guess which card was the storyteller's, but beware of clever misdirection!

4. Just One: This cooperative party game is all about teamwork and creativity. One player has to guess a word, but they can't see the word themselves. Instead, the other players write down a one-word clue on their whiteboards. The catch is that if any players write down the same clue, those clues are canceled out. It's a race against the clock to come up with unique clues and help the guesser figure out the word.

5. Wits & Wagers: If you enjoy trivia games, Wits & Wagers is a must-play. It's a great choice if you're looking for board games for large groups. It combines general knowledge questions with betting mechanics. Each player writes down their answer to a question, and then everyone places bets on which answer they think is correct. It's a game that rewards both knowledge and strategic thinking.

So there you have it, my top recommendations for the best games to play at parties. Whether you're looking for laughter, creativity, or friendly competition, these games are sure to bring people together and create unforgettable memories. Have a blast!
