5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth your time and money, November 27, 1999

Easy to follow hundreds of games with a lot of ideas. The games vary from table games to fun activities, and are suitable for a wide range of audiences. I picked about a dozen games for my New Year's Eve party within an hour! I would highly recommend this book to anybody who is like me - not naturally spontaneous and inventive.

This review is from: Great Games For Great Parties: How to Throw a Perfect Party (Paperback)

This book has lots of good ideas and gives ways to adapt them or change them to suit almost anyones needs. In the back, the games are broken down by category (for ex, icebreakers, pre-party games, quiet games, hunts, etc...) and then another section has them organized by name. It has a nice section on party planning, things to think about when throwing a party and motivating guests that will be helpful to any newcomer to party throwing. There are no risque games but lots of them are easily adaptable and can be made less "family oriented" if that is your crowd. The majority of these games are for ADULTS not kids.

The main reason I purchased the book was because I was out of ideas for good party games and activites. This book certainly solved that problem. It has a ton of things for great parties, not lame games either that people throw in just to fill space. This thing is 100% usable. And what else is nice its adaptable, and they show you how. Really great book worth every cent and more. I do have one problem with though. I only have one party to do right now and too many ideas !
