We have Scattergories, Phase 10, Uno, Apples to Apples and lots of cards, plus several I can't even think of. Looking for some new ideas when the kids come to visit. TIA.

Ticket to Ride takes five. Settlers of Catan will do five if you have the expansion. If your group is into storytelling and macabre humor, Gloom is fun. We also got a game called Mysterium that plays up to seven and is really fun. Dixit plays six. Pandemic with an expansion set will play five. Also the cutest card game in the history of card games, Sushi Go, can accommodate five.

I should mention that Pandemic will play five without the expansion but the game was written for four, so it's harder with five but definitely doable. My family has played it with six before and beat the game. Seven Wonders is fun and plays seven. Sorry, I have a big family, so I know which games will take more than four players.  |

Poker! Use chips or coins or candy, etc. for betting. There are scores of variations and it's as much luck as skill so it gives all ages a good chance of winning at least once in awhile. Plus you can leave it and come back to it anytime.

DD and her 1st serious boyfriend in many years will be coming for Father's Day weekend from out of town. She is not a big game player. Her adult son (22) will also be joining us as well. He likes games. DD's boyfriend likes poker. DGS and I do not. I don't think I could play cards for humanity with DGS or the new boyfriend on the 1st visit. When my 13 year old grandson was here last summer, he wanted to play CAH. Couldn't do it! Thanks for the suggestions. I will go look them up. |

We like Cash and Guns. It's not PC, as you do point the orange-tipped foam guns at one another so everyone knows who your target is. Basically, it's you and your gang of criminals trying to divide up the loot without being knocked off by another gang member. |

Just had my first experience with Cards Against Humanity last weekend. LOVE it. SO funny and so inappropriate so beware on that one. Settlers of Catan, Risk, rummy games, poker, dominos. Now I want to play a game. Bummer my husband doesn't like them, though he beat everyone at CAH last weekend. He does have a twisted mind though  |

We LOVE Wise and Otherwise. It's kind of like Balderdash except it's old proverbs from all over the world. The card gives you the first part of the proverb and you fill in the rest (they're all short ones) as everyone tries to guess the real proverb. We laughed all night when we play it. Other games we enjoy are Beyond Balderdash, Guestures (fast paced charades), Wits and Wagers, and Quelf (if you're in the mood to be REALLY silly). We also love Cards Against Humanity (although I understand why you wouldn't want to play in your situation), Catan with expansion pack, and Telestrations (its like Pictionary combined with the Telephone game). Oh, and I still love Pictionary.  |

Thanks. I also already have Dominoes and Mexican Train. Haven't played in a long time. Need to brush up on that. I have Cranium but need to buy new playdough. I just ordered telestrations for 8 people and Ticket to Ride. I found Farkle in the closet, but I'm not sure we ever played it and don't know if 5 people can play. We should keep busy. Lots of great suggestions. Thanks!
