E.T. was recently playing Dixit Jinx in a social like manner at a party while I was playing 7 Wonders with another group. I would recommend 7 Wonders for a biggish group - but it has a pretty serious learning curve and only goes up to 7 or 8 (with an expansion I think).<br /><br />I recently heard the defense that CAH lets buttoned up people go wild, which is an interesting goal I suppose. I've never seen that occur.Lena Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02408965722925370236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094204300175633504.post-9760375096211500642015-01-28T18:27:11.909-05:002015-01-28T18:27:11.909-05:00You've got personal experience with my version...You've got personal experience with my version of Favor-Swap Poker, which is sort of my take on party games, and could probably manage up to eight people at once. I should probably formalize those rules someday. For commercial games, I'm having success with "Mascarade" from Repos Productions. It handles up to 13 players, takes only five minutes to teach, plays fast and encourages a lot of fun social interaction.E.T.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816067470809236388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094204300175633504.post-22928887045641252232015-01-28T15:52:10.065-05:002015-01-28T15:52:10.065-05:00Perhaps we don't play enough Apples to Apples,...Perhaps we don't play enough Apples to Apples, or we have enough mundane friends who think it's still a novel experience, but it's still in our rotation.<br /><br />CAH are for those people who think "Fluffy = The Holocaust" isn't EXXXTTTRREEEEMMMMMEEEE!!!! enough.

It always seemed like a good idea to start playing, whenever someone pulls it out... but fairly soon after, it gets kinda boring. I think you vocalized it quite well, here. Are there games you would recommend to do in its place? Not necessarily "Party Games", but games that can accommodate a larger group.V.
