I hadn't heard of ONE NIGHT ULTIMATE WEREWOLF before. Looking it up, it seems like an embellishment of a game we used to call 'Killer' in the '60s.

I had forgotten about 'Spoons." It used to be one of my favorites too...

Ever tried Dudo/Liar's Dice? (not pushing—just curious )

Parlor Games- cerades, two rooms and a boom, twenty questions

6-30 players—Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

Blokus is a good strategy game.
The players try to score points by occupying most of the board with pieces of their colour...makes you think.

I first played it at a board game convention, couldn't find a copy, so I made one in Powerpoint, printed it on card stock, and laminated it at a copy store. I found tons of dice at a dollar store.

At the convention, I think we started with 20 players, but it hooked me there.

I've never been much good at that type of game—it can bring on migraines.

It reminds me a little of the Sid Sackson game, ACQUIRE (which I can play).

I have to get ONE NIGHT ULTIMATE WEREWOLF...and ONE NIGHT ULTIMATE VAMPIRE too!!!

Have you got a decent supply of spoons? I ask because the above and Spoons are all elimination games. Each "round" someone is eliminated from the game, and eventually more people are out than still playing. Depending on the length of the game, folks can get anxious/bored waiting for the game to end, so it's a good idea to have a supply of short games for fewer people.

I hate long games that’s why I like ONU werewolf so much bc one round is like 5 minutes and you can play as many as u want

 

[Klyde O'Scope]

It's the nature of elimination games. Length usually depends on the number of players, but the more players, the more fun the game. Catch 22.

One of my favorite card games is war.

Board games is sorry, but there's so many good ones really.

And I also love pictionary.

Sorry is actually a variant of Parcheesi (Pachisi, Ludo, and many others); at it's core, it's backgammon for 4 players.
