180 party games to keep your party hopping

This big book of 180 party games and as many variations, ranging from the intellectual to the rowdy (even risqué) puts the fun back into parties. Games People Play is full of word games, drawing games, knowledge games, memory games, and trivia games. Pick and choose to host your perfect party. For example, design a party around music, romance, food, sports, and culture. All in all, Games People Play has more games and ideas than you'll find in any other party game book. For example:

• Play a reporter (guests create juicy tabloid headlines).

• Play a baby (guests taste test baby foods).

• Play an author (guests create romance or suspense novels).

• Play the sexes against one another (guests play a "Civil War" game between men and women).

• Play your luck (guests use a lottery to predict another guest's behavior).

• Play out the scene of a crime (guests hold a murder mystery).

• Play a snob (guests play movie or culture critics).

It doesn't matter is you're planning a birthday party, a New Years Eve party, or if you're just sitting home with a friend; this book will give you something to do! The games in this book range from the simple to the silly and there are even a few with sexual themes:) Yes, this is a must-have for anyone who's tired of watching TV and wants some excitement.

180 pages of 180 seperate games. Explains rules in simple lines, details matierial/props needed and gives variations.

I use for my 2years old party, wedding showers, baby showers, BBQ, or just get togethers with friends or family. I'm invited to advise on all party planning committees or fundraisers and this is my secret weapon.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource!, June 19, 2001

This is an excellent book! I work at a summer camp and always need new games to play with the kids and this book has been a wonderful source of inspiration. I'm dealing with kids that range in age from 6 to 15 and this book has games good for the entire age range. I have about 15 party & game books and this one definitely gets used more than all the others. Most of the games have been a big hit with the kids, too!
