Any ideas for fun games for the 20-60 something age range?

[woodsprite]

We're going down to FL for my FIL's memorial service and will be down there with extended family for about 2 wks. Would like to take some games down with us. I figure I'll be masked but can still play socially distanced and on the lanai. Our daughter/son have picked Suspend (rod balance game - just ordered a second set so we'd have enough pieces), and the card games Oh Fruck, Pirate Fluxx, TacoCatGoatCheesePizza, Cards Against Humanity (certainly not for the religious part of the crowd - maybe just ourselves). We figured played plain they were fun, add a bit of alcohol, even more fun.

Didn't know if there were any other fun games that you could suggest.

The other outlaw faction down there like the Hitler game and some Mafia game last time we got together. My crowd wasn't too interested in those so I was trying to find some alternatives.

I agree Exploding Kittens. Even kids love it down to upper grade school.

6. Risk or

Settlers of Catan.

Oldie but a goodie - Parcheesi.

13. Risk is fun but it's quite the investment of time

Several hours at least, and you always run the risk of somebody flipping the board out of anger!

8. Truth or Dare is a popular one.

9. Pick up the game "Catch Phrase" from Target or a toy store. It's the best game...

for family game night. You'll need batteries.

12. Agreed, great game

And for some reason the batteries we have in ours have lasted almost a decade.

10. 20-60 is quite a range n/t

[luv2fly]

11. I suggest Kubb, you'll find sets on Amazon and elsewhere

Good fun for all, pretty simple rules.

15. Hex Hex XL & Joking Hazard

It describes itself as a mean spirited game of hot potato. Rounds are quick, lasting only a few minutes. You can also play with a lot more people than the listed number of players. I think I've played it with 10 or 11 people. If you do play it, especially with a large number of people, I recommend playing with the Hex Hex card - it's the only card which requires reflexes, which puts players at a distance at a distinct disadvantage.

Using the same restrictions you would for selecting players for Cards Against Humanity, I would recommend Joking Hazard.

18. Fun Game Ideas for a 20-60 Year Old Group

We’ve had good luck with games that are fast to learn and don’t get too competitive.

Codenames works great with mixed ages and big groups. You can keep it light and still get laughs.
Wavelength is solid for conversation and doesn’t feel like a “game night” game.
Just One is easy, social, and works even with people who don’t usually play games.
Skull is simple, quick, and surprisingly tense without being heavy.
For cards, Love Letter and The Mind both work well with drinks and short attention spans.

All of these play well outdoors, don’t need a lot of table space, and won’t scare off people who just want to hang out.
