Parties are about letting down our hair and having loads of fun. Party games, depending on your crowd, can be funny and filled with wicked humor games. Some of the games on this list will not be suitable if your crowd of 6 players can’t take wicked jokes and are a little touchy with certain words. Whatever your crowd, you will find something exciting to play at your next party of 6 or more people.

1. Codenames

This is a fun party game that can be played with up to 8 players. The game is an exciting game of strategy where players in each team have to help their “spymaster” decipher the code names on the cards. You can divide your group of six players into two teams of three, one team red and the other team blue. One of the three will be the spymaster, and the other two will be his/her operative to help him/her decipher the codes.

It has an Adults Only Edition with sexually explicit content for your adults-only hangout with no young ears around.

2. Hot Seat

This is another fun party game that is very simple to play. The game has a stack of cards with 200 questions and writing pads. A chair is put in the middle of the room which is known as the “hot seat”.

Each player takes turns sitting on the “hot seat”. The player on the hot seat draws 3 cards and then chooses the one they want the rest of the group to answer. They can then pass one of the remaining two cards to the next player and discard the other, or they can choose to discard the remaining two. Where they pass a card to the next player, that player has to play that card on their turn and cannot draw three cards.

The remaining players, including the player on the hot seat, write the answer to the question of the player on the hot seat. All answers are folded up and put in a pile. The player in the hot seat reads out all the responses, and the rest of the players have to guess which of the responses was written by the player on the hot seat. The one who guesses it right wins the round.

It’s a fun game to see how well you all know each other in a group and will be a fun party game for 6 players.

3. Never Have I Ever

The fun of this game is in guessing what your friends have never done. It is a game that is fun and exciting but can also become a little boring if your questions are not as fun and exciting.

You don’t need anything to play this game, although if you want to keep scores, you can have a writing pad and pen.

The game is usually played as a drinking game to spice it up. You ask a question and persons who have ever done what the question says drink. So, for instance, you could say “never have I ever made out in the men’s bathroom with my boyfriend”. And anyone in the group who has made out with their boyfriend in the men’s bathroom gets to drink up.

It’s a fun party game that lightens up the mood and well, gets everyone drunk. Remember that the fun of the game is in the questions, so come up with exciting and interesting questions to make it fun.

4. Cards Against Humanity

This is one fun party game that is not for the faint of heart or for persons who take offense easily or cannot handle crude remarks. It is hilarious in a wicked way but is the perfect party game for people with a wicked sense of humor. The manufacturer even labeled it a game for horrible people so that tells you already that it is not for everyone.

It is another easy game to play. It comes with 500 white cards and 100 black cards. Each player asks a question on a black card when it’s their round, and the rest of the players have to give an answer they think is funny and fitting from the white cards they have. And some of the answers are, for lack of a better word, not to everyone’s tastes and liking.

If your group of 6 players is elderly people or parents who are not very relaxed, you may want to reconsider this game, but it is great fun for those who love its contents. 

5. Joking Hazard

This is another party card game similar to Cards Against Humanity as regards its contents. It is also not for persons who take offense or do not have a wicked sense of humor. The manufacturer’s of this game also called it an offensive party game that is not for kids. But where your group of 6 players fits the bill, it is a fun and exciting party game. The game aims to create a comic story to an end from a drawn card. The player who starts draws a card and the story starts to run from that card with each player adding their cards to the story.

10. Rummikub 6 Player Edition

This exciting board game of strategy that used to be for 2-4 players, now has a 6 player edition to allow for more players. It cannot however be played by more than 6 players. It comes with 160 tiles, 4 jokers, and 6 racks.

With this game, the aim is to make a set of either a group or a run with all the tiles on a player’s rack. A player who can accomplish this shouts “Rummikub” and wins the game. A set is formed when three or more tiles of the same color are played together, while a group is created when three tiles of the same number are played.

All tiles are placed face down and each player draws 14 tiles from the pile on their rack. After each player has drawn their tiles, the remainder forms the pile from which each player draws for each turn. On a first play, the first player must form a number that totals to 30 or above 30, with his tiles. If he/she is unable to do so, then they skip their turn by drawing a tile from the pile and the turn goes to the next player.

Once a 30+ has been formed, each player can then take turns creating groups or runs with their tiles until a player has completed the tiles in his rack to shout “Rummikub” to win the game. The points on the tiles of the remaining players are then added up and allocated to the winner, and the game can continue again if the players so wish.

There are 4 joker tiles and they have an advantage and disadvantage. The advantage is that you can use it to represent anything you want to play. However, a player who has a tile that represents what you used the joker for, can then replace the joker with their tile but must play the joker in their next turn. The disadvantage is that if the game ends with the joker tile still in your possession, you are penalized with 30 points.

It is an exciting fast-thinking board game of strategy that is very enjoyable. The only downside is that it is not a board game for more than 6 players.

A group of 6 players can be divided into three teams. Each player is given a set of cards whose number is predetermined at the start of the game. The player then plays their card by placing their die on the part of the board resembling their card. If however, another player’s die is on that part of the board, their card will be considered “dead” and they’ll need to draw another card from the pile. They continue in this fashion until a player or team forms a sequence of 5 dies either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
