Party Board Games – Fun & Laughter in a Box
Traditional party board games may include Charades, Taboo, and Win, Lose, or Draw but the modern party game offers more options.
For the New Crowds
- Doraemon Dobble Card Game – Great for all ages. Quick matching game with child friendly art. A spin-off of the original Dobble card game, uses the exact same rules. Other themes are also available.
- Throw Throw Burrito Game – Plays up to 7, get cards, rush to make sets for points, and then throw burritos at your friends. If they get hit, they lose points. A cuter and less painful version of dodgeball.
- Telestrations 12 Player Party Pack – Based on the award winning classic Telestrations but with more words and players. Players draw a word then pass it, guess what was drawn, & then draw the guess.
Stepping it Up
- The Resistance – Modern classic deduction game. As the Resistance, you must eliminate the spies in your group or lose. Great for 8+ players.
- Codenames – Social word deduction game where teams try to guess a word based on hints given by their leader. Has optional rules for cooperative play and games can finish in 20 minutes.
- Pictomania 2nd Edition – Hysterical drawing game. Sketch the essence of 1 of 3 words while simultaneously trying to guess what the others are drawing.
For Gamer Guests
- Captain Sonar – Cooperative real-time game where players act as the crew of submarine hunting their opponents. Follow orders as best as you can under a tight time limit. Family version also available.
- Decrypto – A team leader gives clues to their team so they can decrypt a code. Be careful, opposing teams can solve your code so you need to use guile and speed.
- Rorschach – Team leader assigns words to inkblot pictures and their team attempts to guess the meaning. Opposing teams can steal by guessing quicker. Highly imaginative and creative, fun to hear people explain their reasoning for pairing words to images.

Styles of Board Games for Parties
Generally, party board games are meant for larger groups (often 6 or more people can play), scoring points is not important or kept to a minimum, everyone stays in the game until it’s over, and the rules are easy to teach. Are there exceptions? Of course, but it’s all in the spirit of good fun so save your “serious gamer” face for a heavy euro. You may see or hear the following terms used when playing party games.
- Cooperative – Players work together to win.
- Real Time – Actions must be taken and resolved under real time restrictions.
- Deduction – Players need to use logic to solve a problem or clue to win.
- Alpha Player – A player that bosses their teammates around without considering what others wish to do. Can occur frequently in cooperative games.
