[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apples to Apples. If you don’t want to bring the box, put the cards in a plastic baggie. Charades means nothing to pack. [/quote]

Came here to suggest the same. We love it.

We also loved playing a game that a relative taught us recently and requires nothing other than strips of paper and pens.  Every player gets 5 slips of paper and writes down 5 random words - single nouns or short adjective+noun combos. Fold up the strips and put them in a bowl.  Each round, one player pulls 5 strips from the bowl (they may end up with one or more of their own submissions, which is fine).  That player has to think silently about how they'd order those 5 words from most to least favorite.  The other players work together to try to order the five words in the way that the "head" player would want them ordered.  There's no real winning or losing, but it's a lot of fun and funny to consider the head player's preferences.  As the head player it's fun to hear other people negotiating random words that they think you like or dislike.

So I might pull Chocolate, Smelly Feet, Warm Towel, Dragons, Toilet Paper.  In my head, my preferred order would be Toilet Paper (can't live without!), Chocolate, Warm Towel, Dragons, Smelly Feet.  But the group might put toilet towards the bottom or whatever, or debate whether I like warm towels more than chocolate, etc etc.  And if my son and pulled those I'd probably put dragons towards the top, and smelly feet at the top, because aren't smelly feet hilarious.

Same concept as Apples to Apples just slightly different play.[/quote]
