Hi folks! Currently on vacation with my family and we're getting tired of the party games I own. Looking for a couple of suggestions! Some caveats:

  • No word based games, we already have and love Just One, Codenames, etc
  • No social deduction games, they hate them
  • Preferably language independent or with few text dependence. We have Portuguese and german people in the group and not everyone understands English!
  • Low weight/rules
  • Supports 7 players!

Thanks a lot friends!

Concept might work well. The cards are going to have a concept that you try to get other people guess by pointing at a board with various symbols on it. The word for the concept you're trying to get people to guess should be easily translated with a phone, or just skipped and draw a new card.

Rhino Hero is great, especially if there's kids or drunk adults in the group. Kind of like Jenga, try to build up a card tower without knocking it over.

Similarly, Pinnacle's pretty good. Competitive block stacking with weird shapes

Love seeing Concept being suggested! It's one of my favorite games for getting a group of people communicating together.
