Codenames
Codenames is a super fun and easy to play game that is great for larger groups! The game is a bit more abstract than the other options on our list. These abstract rules however do make it easy to accommodate up to 8 (or even more) players.
The game is divided into red and blue, each side has a team leader, the team leader's goal is to lead their team to the final victory. At the beginning of the game, there will be 25 cards on the table with different words. Each card has a corresponding position, representing different colours. Only the team leader can see the colour of the card. The team leader should prompt according to the words, let his team members find out the cards of their corresponding colours, and find out all the cards of their own colours to win.
Play Codenames if you are looking for:
- a puzzle game
- a highly interactive and sociable experience
- something that can be taught very quickly
The Great Dalmuti - Dungeons & Dragons
In the Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game, the dice may control your fate, but in The Great Dalmuti, it’s about how cleverly you play the cards you’re dealt. One round you’re polishing your royal crown, and the next you’re whacking rats in a filthy alley. It’s a gloat-filled, winner-take-all contest in this D&D-themed version of the classic card game.
The Great Dalmuti is considered a modern classic by many and its simple but effective rules mean that it hasn't aged. Even though the box states that the game tops out at 8 players, there isn't a strict limit on the number of players that can enjoy this game.

Junggle
Come join them in their natural habitat with Junggle, a series of five mini-games that can be enjoyed by two to ten players. Every game uses the same deck of cards and the animal, which shows that each animal is scared of the animal immediately before it: rhinos are scared of elephants, lions are scared of rhinos, and crocodiles are scared of lions. But elephants, the largest and mightiest of the animals, are scared of mice. Each mini-game uses this relationship in a different way for maximum variety. Come take a walk on the wild side and see what wonders await in the jungle!
Play Jungle if you're looking for:
- multiple games in one box
