Hosting A Party?

Have one of these games on hand.

- Dann Albright

Where did you play your first modern board game? I’m not talking about Monopoly or Scrabble. I mean something designed in the past 20 years. There’s a very good chance you played it at a party. Lots of people get introduced to board games at parties — probably because board games are such great party activities. They bring people together, get everyone talking and laughing, and put people in hilariously weird situations.

The eight board games listed here will do all of those things, and if you’re looking for a game to keep on hand for a party (or when you just have a couple of friends over), give these a look.
