Many party board games test a player’s range of knowledge, with some more popular choices focusing on trivia and vocabulary. No matter which party board game you choose, you can be guaranteed an enjoyable evening of fun and laughter with family and friends when you get together to play these games.

  • Trivial Pursuit: Test your knowledge of trivia with Trivial Pursuit. Players take turn to roll the dice and move their game pieces around the board. The type of question each player has to answer depends on the colour of the square that he lands on. In order to play, you will first have to buy the master game, which includes the board and full game. You will then be able to purchase additional sets of trivia cards to expand the game. Trivial Pursuit also comes in a variety of special editions such as Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit, Star Wars Trivial Pursuit as well as 1980s and 90s Trivial Pursuit.

  • Scene It?: A movie trivia game, Scene It? is played using the included DVD, which contains movie clips, and the game board. Besides the original version, you can also find special editions such as Scene It? Harry Potter Edition, Scene It? Disney Edition, Scene It? Star Wars Edition as well as add on expansion packs (known as Game Packs).

  • Cranium: Each team performs different activities and attempt to get to the centre of the board in the game Cranium. There are four decks of cards for players to choose from, including Creative Cat, Data Head, Star Performer and Word Worm. Each deck tests different abilities such as artistic skills, language skills, performance skills or knowledge of trivia. The variety ensures that players stay involved and interested for a long time.

  • Scattergories: Scattergories is a word game where players have to think of words that begin with a certain letter (determined by rolling a 20 sides die) in various categories such as a president or an ice cream flavour. Great fun for family game nights or parties.      

  • Balderdash: The classic bluffing game, players of Balderdash are given an unusual word which they must make up a definition for. The number of points you get depends on how many players select a false definition as true. Beyond Balderdash expands the game beyond vocabulary to movie plots, dates, people and initials.

  • Ouija: Ouija consists of a pointer and a board with letter and numbers, as well as the word "Yes" and "No" printed on it. Two or more players ask a question while placing their hands on the pointer. A mysterious, unseen force will the move the point to return an answer and amuse all the players.
