I would have to say Détective Club. So so funny and the art work is amazing a big hit for us. Télestration is another one that makes us laugh a lot ! Thanks for the list.
I love party games! We have one that I never hear mentioned when people talk about the best party games, but it's always a HUGE hit when we play it on game nights. It's called Can You Roll Doubles? and it's basically Speed Scattergories. There are a couple sheets with categories that people try to fill with answers starting with a certain letter, but while they're doing that, the next person is frantically rolling two D6's, trying to get a pair. If they do, they yank the sheet away and start trying to fill it in while the next person down starts rolling the dice. Everyone has different colored markers, so you know who wrote each answer. Lots of fun!
Jeff is the yawniest UA-camer. Let the man sleep or somthin’. Great list. I’ve them all except for monikers, I went the Times Up Tital Recall route instead; so fun.
Hi!! I met you guys today at the mall, just wanted to extend a huge thanks again for being so nice! It was seriously so cool to meet you, and so excited to hear about this channel!! already placed an order for camel up and just one, looking forward to expanding my board game collection past Catan :))
Emily!!! Thank you so much for saying hi. It was incredible to meet you, and thanks so much for checking out the new channel! Really appreciate you being with us from back in the book days. Enjoy the games and hope to run into you again some day!
You're not going to believe this, but I was watching your video (maybe it was the second or third time watching one of your videos, and I just assumed you were located in the US), and as I'm watching I'm checking board game oracle and amazon for prices and availability. And right at the end, I thought "I should check my local shop to see what they have", so I start Googling Board Room Game Cafe right as you both mentioned Board Room Game Cafe, and for a second I thought there was a glitch in the Matrix or I was being pranked... So that's cool that you live in Halifax! I just discovered last week that Rodney is in PEI and I was shocked! Atlantic Canada representing!
One of the absolute gems I picked up from watching you guys was "Camel Up". Rave reviews EVERY time. Quick teach, great gateway game. Absolutely a riot. Did you guys forget Prince's "Party like it's 1999?"
Board games at parties are always a hit! They bring people together, spark laughter, and create unforgettable memories. Whether it's a strategy game or something light-hearted, they ensure everyone has a great time. Perfect for breaking the ice and bonding! 🎉 And I really love "Just one" It's unique. Love y'all ❤
We love to play Imagine, it is basically charades but instead of acting out yourself, you have a bunch of transparent cards with all sorts of shapes and images on them that you can overlap and animate to maximum laughter, at least with my group. We also Like Long shot the dice game, fun little racing betting game in a tiny box. Bang the dice game gets tons of plays as well. Dixit, Spyfall and Cockroach Poker all fun too. Happy Gaming :)
I have had great success with Super Mega Lucky Box Be Phillip Walker Harding. As far as racing games, I am really enjoying Rallyman GT on BGA. Lots of dice to roll, easy to learn but challenging to master!
Most played games for large gatherings in my house is probably Secret Hitler and Camel Up, but I did just bite the bullet and pick up Blood on the Clocktower. Secret Hitler was a big hit at my daughter's graduation party a couple weeks back so I'm hoping I can rustle up enough folks to play Clocktower with regularly.
"We don't really party that much." LOL 🤣 I somehow don't need to be convinced to believe that! 😉😂 You guys should do a video where you pick a song that represents a board game and sing it chipmunk style! 🐿🎶 That way - you'll give us EXACTLY what we're CRAVING!!! Wow - I actually have a game in my collection that wasn't in yours! Similo. I had that gifted to me sometime ago - I have three sets - Spookies, Myths, and Fables. If other versions are not in stock at the Boardroom Game Cafe, I can take a look here in Ottawa - I'm always seeing those games stocked. (Of course, I say that now... the next time I'm at the store... they'll be out of stock.) 😂
Loved this list - in the beginning there were a lot of new options for me for what’s probably my favorite category of games. I feel like Jamie, I just want to covertly bring a sack of games to any social gathering, ready to employ at any moment 😂 We’ve played an OG version of Monikers/Time’s Up with slips of papers for years with my family and friends and it’s always a HUGE hit. I just heard one of the best descriptions of this type of game from Board Game Barrage which is that it’s the fastest way to create inside jokes among large groups of people.
Depending on the day, my first-instinct Party song is Andrew WK's Party Hard or It's Time To Party; or Partytime by 45 Grave (best known from Return of the Living Dead).
Colt Express and Deception: Murder in Hong Kong are both tons of fun as well as Dixit if you haven't tried it yet. I have Lifeboat as it was highly recommended by another channel though I haven't been able to try it out yet. It's a little hard to find but since you guys like being mean to one another in games you may dig it 😜. I'll be checking out Night of the Ninja and thanks for another fantastic video!
Is Jeff ever not sleepy in these videos? 😁. We should get a yawn counter/timestamp going. Special giveaway at 100 yawns! In all seriousness, I hope you can catch up on your rest at some point!
Rarely! I have some health issues and I’m fairly certain one of the biproducts is not getting restful sleeps. It’s an ongoing battle trying to get a diagnosis. But we’re trying!
@@FostertheMeeple Yikes, I’m so sorry to hear that! ☹️ I had no idea it was health-related. Glad you’re on the path to hopefully finding a diagnosis soon. And my apologies for assuming it was just general tiredness from the standard reasons.
I think best party game is Secret Hitler… it seems people ignore it just coz of the name (Hitler) attached to the game…. This is really fun filed game and need to be checked out ignoring the issues with the name of the game.
@@FostertheMeeple its really awesome social deduction game .. Much better then Resistance Avalon and One night ultimate Werewolf. Also it can be played by max 10 people so grt fun with a big group. I have it in my collection and it's super fun. 👌

I’ve not heard of that one before!
I want that game! Scattergories is my favorite game.
We played Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza at the cottage for the first time this weekend and it was a huge hit!
It’s always a blast when we’ve played it! Glad you had fun!
Jeff is the yawniest UA-camer. Let the man sleep or somthin’.
Great list. I’ve them all except for monikers, I went the Times Up Tital Recall route instead; so fun.
Haha yea. I definitely am! I have sleep issues so, it’s hard to get a good rest. I make do!
Sushi Go Party is one I just recently got. Can't wait to play it. I also love Cash n Guns.
Cash n guns is a fun one for sure!
Wavelength was something new I tried and it was amazing. The setup is super easy and the giant nob thing is always fun to interact with haha
We do enjoy wavelength!!

Wooo!! Maritimes!! So happy you found us!
My wife has a huge family so large count games are a must. Blank Slate, Rhino Hero deluxe w/ teams of 2, Wavelength and Dixit are great
Ditto on Wavelength!! Such an underrated game!
LOVE rhino Hero. Wavelength is a great choice also
As a middle eastern who enjoys party games camel up looks interesting
It’s very fun!
Dixit(12 players max), Werewolf, and Werewords are some that I would recommend.
Thank you for the recos!
Great list! Love you two and love me some party games - We enjoy Downforce, Point Salad, Walkie Talkie, and Balderdash! :)
Thank you!!!
Party in the USA, Party like it’s 1999, Fight for Your Right, Get the Party Started! Happy Birthday totally counts too! 😂
a lot of Andrew WK's songs are about partying, I've got 5 of these so must be a ready for parties!
The key is to be prepared for any situation. That is why we have such a huge collection
One of the absolute gems I picked up from watching you guys was "Camel Up". Rave reviews EVERY time. Quick teach, great gateway game. Absolutely a riot. Did you guys forget Prince's "Party like it's 1999?"
I do love me some Prince. But I think I’m a raspberry beret kinda guy

Deception is an interesting game. Only thing to keep in mind about groups larger than 8 is that it is hard to see everyone's cards properly.
Great party list! I would add Bang! The Dice Game, Wavelength and Decrypto, Bohnanza. night of the Ninja is on my wishlist now seems so fun
I love BANG too! Such a great card game!
Great list. Great video. Great games! I definitely agree with the "racing games are great party games" comment.
Glad you agree!! They play very well into large groups
MonsDRAWsity has gotten some of the biggest laughs from our friend group! They love Just One as well. 😎🙏🏼
Just played this in July and LOVE it! Such a great game and lots of laughing!
We need to try our MonsDRAWsity!
I loved that intro too funny 🤣🤣
I have had great success with Super Mega Lucky Box Be Phillip Walker Harding. As far as racing games, I am really enjoying Rallyman GT on BGA. Lots of dice to roll, easy to learn but challenging to master!
Super Mega Lucky Box is a fun one! Really want to try out Rallyman GT

We just grabbed BotC as well!! Good luck in your journey with it!
Great list!!! I wish we could find Fuji Flush!!! I have looked.....but no luck!!!
Keep looking!! We keep seeing them in really random spots
"We don't really party that much." LOL 🤣 I somehow don't need to be convinced to believe that! 😉😂 You guys should do a video where you pick a song that represents a board game and sing it chipmunk style! 🐿🎶 That way - you'll give us EXACTLY what we're CRAVING!!!

I've learned that Skull King is more fun when someone else keeps score :p
Hahah very fair. I’ll keep score for ya anytime pal
Great selection. You should really try WINK if you can find a copy.
Will do Ramon, haven’t heard of that one
Two Rooms and a Boom, Mysterium (or Mysterium Park), and Wavelength are all great.
Agreed!!
Codenames is fun…
Great job!
Thank you!
Great list!
We have loot, which is a card game with pirates.
Mondrawisty is a new one we have but we are really liking it especially the kids.
Awesome!! Love to hear it

Also loved the shout-out for Skull King. I won that game as a give away on Tik Tok and agree it’s a really fun game and the theming is great.
Yea it’s such a great game to get lots of people involved!
cockroach poker is a big one. we play disney codenames a lot
Spoiler: we still haven’t played cockroach poker
Have you guys played Dream Crush?? It’s my group’s favorite party game! Having to explain why you chose certain decisions had us in tears 😂😂
We have not!
I love decrypto and one night ultimate werewolf.
Depending on the day, my first-instinct Party song is Andrew WK's Party Hard or It's Time To Party; or Partytime by 45 Grave (best known from Return of the Living Dead).
Haha the man stuck to a theme
@@FostertheMeeple I'm a staunch supporter of his pro-party agenda.
great list
Thank you!
Love that east coast accent!!! 😀
Haha it’s not going anywhere!
Camel up is, amazingly, camels RACING!
Agreed!!
I usually play with my couple or small groups, but I loved the list. You should try Secret Hitler and also Bang the dice game is a very good option.
Thanks for the suggestions!! Will see if we can try them out
Top 10 racing games list from you guys!?
Yes it’ll be coming eventually!!
I was wondering if you ever played Wizard? Quite similar to Skull King
We haven’t!!

Have you tried Telestrations or Scrawl? I don’t care about the points,
But I laugh in every game.
We haven’t tried either yet! Maybe telestrations forever ago but the memory is failing me
What about wits and wagers, TELESTRATIONS 😅, cocroach poker 😮 bust a gut laughing while playing telestrations 😂🤣😂
Party in the USA? Miley Cyrus? C'mon people. :)
Party like it’s 1999!
Lately have had a lot of success with Feed the Kraken, a step up (in fun) from Secret Hitler
Awesome!! Will check it out!
I actually like Sushi Roll a little better than Sushi Go. But it's good.
what about Drink A Palooza?! Check it out on the big A and gameplay on youtube. No Kids Allowed!
Is Jeff ever not sleepy in these videos? 😁. We should get a yawn counter/timestamp going. Special giveaway at 100 yawns!

@@FostertheMeeple its really awesome social deduction game .. Much better then Resistance Avalon and One night ultimate Werewolf. Also it can be played by max 10 people so grt fun with a big group. I have it in my collection and it's super fun. 👌
Sushi go is such a classic but the box always makes me mad 😂 Right now Cat lady with the six player expansion has become my party game go too
Awesome!! I think Jamie has played cat lady but I haven’t yet
@@FostertheMeeple really good game, I think you would like it!
Why didn't you read her mind! Common man! 😂😅
Check our Skulls. It is a trick game with bidding and bluffing. SUPER simple, and SUPER fun!
We’ve played it! Neither of us are big fans haha
