This game just cracks people up. You have to describe a word or phrase and get your team to guess it, without using any of the words on a list. The catch is that every word on the list are the first ones that come to your mind and you have to go completely out of your way to describe something so simple. Say one of the words and you get BUZZED.

When it's your turn you read a question such as "Why do we say that someone who is fired gets the sack?" Each person then tells you their "answer" and you pick who you think has the real answer. You get points by either guessing correctly or bluffing successfully. It's hard to make it sound as fun as it really is.

Now for the real fun...adult games. No kids here! This is a drinking game for adults that you may have played in a board-game-less form. You find out a lot about your friends too! A question may be something like "I've never had sex on a waterbed" if this is something players have done, then they take a drink or do something embarrassing. You'll start to notice a pattern with a couple people.
Loaded Questions - Adult VersionLoaded Questions - Adult Version
Buy new: $26.23
Another adult game, although there is a less exciting standard edition. Players answer a question and then you try to figure out which answer belongs to which of your friends. You'll learn just how well you really know them. This game isn't quite as suggestive as the previous game, but still lots of fun.
