The best party board games are easy to learn, simple to set up, and highly engaging for everyone involved. They need to strike a delicate balance between ‘organisation’ and ‘chaos’, and importantly, they need to fit the mood of the party. Titles like Exit the Game can work for the right crowds, but if your mates aren’t into puzzle solving, you won’t earn much attention. Monopoly and adventure-based board games can also be crowd-pleasers, but typically you want games that will be quick, fun, and easy to join.
