Some family and friends are resurrecting game night. We used to get together once a month and play a game of choice until the wee hours of the night. I remember we used to have a group of 10 playing balderdash, and we were laughing to a point of tears all night. A few weeks ago I played Apples to Apples, and while I enjoyed the game, it did not get the same response we used to get with balderdash.

I know there a great deal of you guys who have game nights, what are some newer games that have had you guys entertained till the wee hours of the night? Keep in mind we are all adults, so we don't have to worry about kids. The majority of us are related, so suggesting something with stripping or the like are out of the question. And lastly, we will be drinking, so it can be intellectual, but not super intellectual.

I tried Catch Phrase with some friends (8 adults) and we had a really good time with it.

If you're more "hardcore" boardgamers I would suggest something like Talisman with 6 players or Eclipse with 8 players...or the best of the best: Twilight Imperium with the expansions and 8 players...a 10 hours of pure cosmic conquest, trades, betrayals and political disorder

Maybe Munchkin? Great way to laugh and shout insults to each other when drunk lol...

About once a month I play cards with friends - mostly poker, but with a few other simple card games.

Woah, Eclipse and Twilight look like advanced versions of Settlers of Catan. I will have to check these out.

I think the nerd games my be a little too much for an event like this. My wife and I play smallworld and the like all the time, but the rest of my family isn't quite into those.

Cards against humanity sounds interesting.

Scattergories is a classic in this genre.

Apples to apples is a terrible game. No skill is involved.

farkle.

http://www.amazon.com/Farkle-Classic.../dp/B000NA0HP0

we played that game quite a bit when at the beach with my whole family and it is tons of fun. such a simple concept too. and you can play it with people of all ages.

catch phrase is always fun too.

I've played "Farkle" a million times, always in bars. We called it "Greedy" and added a couple of rules to impose drinking penalties. I've also played a game called "Cosmic Wimpout" that's exactly the same, but it uses a special dice set. Fun games, but a word of advice: Do not buy Farkle or Cosmic Wimpout. Just use 5 dice from another game, that's all you need.

Scattergories and Pictionary are gamenight classics. Cards Against Humanity is a hoot.
