Board games / card games / party games etc. (for adults and/or children!)

We have really enjoyed Everdell. It's def complex enough and stands up to multiple plays. The aesthetic maybe isn't everyone's taste, but the game is great.

Played a kind of remembered kind of made up game at the weekend for an early Christmas party.

Name: Killer
Concept: Everyone draws a name and household item from a hat. You have to kill that person by giving them that object. If they take it from you, you have successfully killed them.
Killed person puts their target back in the hat to be redrawn next round.
Setup: 2 Tupperwares, one filled with a list of names of people at the party., one filled with various objects easily found around the house (spoon, pen, item of someone else's clothing, etc)
Management: When you're out, that's it. The number of people remaining reduces until there's one person left standing. This worked well over the course of a 5 hour party, but could work equally well over the course of days or even weeks.
Optional Twists:
Children can be used as assassins.
You might have a third tupperware with more difficult object for later rounds.
Time limit to encourage greater kill count and more frequent rotatation.

We used to play this! Lots of fun.

One NYE we played fishbowl.

But with a bonus sound round added on. So no words or actions, just a sound to give the clue.

Cheers.

Also is this definitely the boardgames thread? I'm sure it was longer and full of posts from @HatBeard.

There are two—this one is found when people search for 'board games', whereas the one I started is called 'The Boardgames Thread'. If only there was a merge function. I'll add 'board games' to the other thread title.

Thanks, but I'm really just a very naughty boy.
