For the longest time, tabletop games were meant to be enjoyed in small groups. We are seeing an increasing number of games that cater to groups of several players or even a dozen. These games ensure that everyone has a good time, and as the saying goes, the more people who play these tabletop games at a time, the merrier they become.

Granted, not every tabletop game works for every large crowd. You might have a mystery-loving group, trivia-obsessed guys, or even your family might be around which necessitates a game that's fun for all ages. Whatever the case, there are plenty of fun tabletop games to suit each occasion.

The one challenge with tabletop games is that they necessitate. It might be a game that needs a round or two to get used to, or it might be a tad more complicated than that. Either way, the tabletop games we have compiled here are among the best for large groups to play.

10 Googly Eyes

Pictionary is one of the most popular tabletop games of all time, and it has naturally spawned a legion of imitators. Googly Eyes is among the better games that gets its inspiration from Pictionary. The two games are similar in that they both involve drawing. But Googly Eyes has an interesting addition: it asks players to wear large, goofy-looking goggles that blur their vision. The player then has to guess what the other player is drawing.

Googly Eyes is a fun game, especially for younger family members. It offers plenty of laughs—which, of course, is driven by the guessing game among the players.

9 Snake Oil

Snake Oil is a fun party game with rules that are simple enough: a player draws a random customer card, then the other players each use two Word Cards from their hand to create a product that they then try to sell to the "customer". But depending on the customer card, the customer can be anyone; even a cheerleader. So, it's up to the other players to try and create a product that will appeal to the customer and pitch it to them.

This is one of the games that demand a lot of creativity from players, but that's what makes it so much fun.

8 Bohnanza

In simple terms, Bohnanza is a game about trading beans. However, the gameplay is a lot more engaging than the title suggests. Each player gets a hand with various bean cards, and they have to plant the first two cards when their turn comes. But before doing that, they can trade unwanted beans with any other player who might want them.

Similar to games like Monopoly, Bohnanza involves plenty of player interaction. In its case, the trades that players make contribute the most to who wins or loses. Bohnanza is a pure delight that takes up about 45 minutes.

7 Sushi Go Party!

Sushi Go Party! is the expanded version of Sushi Go! It is a simple card drafting game that lets all the players pick a card they like from their hand and place it face-down. All the players then turn their selected cards face-up so everyone can see and pass their remaining cards to the player on their left, and the next round starts.

Sushi Go Party! allows up to 8 players, and like its predecessor, the goal is to get the best combination of sushi dishes. The pacing is fast and the game comes with various customization options to adjust the difficulty.

6 Wits and Wagers: Party Edition

Wits and Wagers: Party Edition is a trivia game with a twist: players don't have to know the answers to win. In the game, one player reads a trivia question, and everyone notes down their guess. After this, the players place their bets on the answer they think is closest to the real one. The more strategic the bets are, the more points one earns.

Wits and Wagers: Party Edition is a simpler version of the original Wits and Wagers, which makes it suitable for larger groups; in fact, the game allows 4 players and more, with no upper limit.

5 Dixit Odyssey

Dixit Odyssey has one of the best approaches to storytelling in tabletop games. For every turn, one player becomes the storyteller. They then describe one of the cards they have using a word or a phrase. Based on their information, the other players guess what the storyteller meant and they select a card from their own hand that they feel best fits the storyteller's description. The cards are then shuffled, and everyone tries to guess which card belonged to the storyteller.

Dixit Odyssey is an intriguing guessing game with remarkable visuals.

4 One Night Ultimate Werewolf

One Night Ultimate Werewolf is one of the most fun games to play at big parties because it ends so fast—usually in just 10 minutes. Its rules are also easy to learn, and it ensures players interact with each other.

When the game starts, each player gets a secret role, and it's up to most of the players to figure out who the werewolf is. Of course, the werewolf will not admit to their identity, so the other players have roles that help them to get clues. They still won't be 100% sure, so it helps if the players are good readers of people.

3 Cards Against Humanity

Cards Against Humanity is among the most popular tabletop games for adults, especially when they are having a party. The game has a judge who picks a random black card with a question or a fill-in-the-blank option. Then the other players each pick ten answer cards and use any of those cards to answer the black card. The player whose card is deemed the funniest by the judge wins that round and gets the black card to keep until the end of the game. Play goes on until everyone decides to stop, at which point the player who has the most black cards wins.

2 Sequence

If we had to compare Sequence to another tabletop game, it would be the combination of Bingo, Poker and Tic Tac Toe. Supporting up to 12 players of all ages, the game gives players a hand of cards. Each turn, the players discard one of their cards and put a chip on the board's corresponding square. The winner is the first person to get five chips in succession, which the game refers to as a "sequence".

Sequence is a simple enough game, usually not taking more than two or three rounds for new players to get used to. It's a hit with families and reviewers enjoy it as well.

1 Codenames

A spy-themed game, Codenames splits players into two teams of up to four. Each team has one player who takes on the "spymaster" role. The spymaster gets their team to name a number of codewords so they can earn points. However, the spymaster cannot just tell their team what each codeword is; they have to use any other related words and hope that their team quickly guesses the correct codeword.

Codenames uses about 25 codewords for each game, but players can get more through the game's various re-imaginings and expansions. These give the game a ton of replay value.
