Pit. The game is a BLAST. Check it out at Amazon. The game sounds really stupid, and when you're first explaining it to people, they think it's stupid too... but after that first practice round, everyone is hooked. I haven't met anyone who hasn't liked it. It's loud and somewhat "physically active" (think "spoons"), but it's a ton of fun.

Playing Taboo with my in-laws is fun. My father in-law is 100% incapable of not saying the forbidden word and my mother in-law and my wife blame the clue givers when they can't guess...

This game teeters on the edge of fisticuffs whenever we play it... :laugh:

i agree that taboo is a fun game and the more people the better.
the presence of alcolhol also doesnt hurt.

Yep. We have Cranium Turbo, and it's good fun for all. Sculpting, drawing, charades, trivia, humming/whistling...

Cranium is a pretty fun game cause it combines aspects from a bunch of different games.

Taboo and Pictionary though are pretty safe bets generally.

more fun drunk too ;)
