2. Give a blindfold to each player, and have them cover their eyes.

4. Pass the first item around the circle, and have the players feel it. Ask them  not to say anything, but to write down what they think it is. Tell them that none of the items will hurt them, but some may surprise them.


5. Repeat with the rest of the items, until all the players have examined all the items.


6. Tell the players to remove the blindfolds. One by one, reveal the items in the bags in the order in which the players wrote them down. Have the players check their lists to confirm the correct answers.


7. Award a prize to the player with the most correct answers.

Have one player stand in the middle of the room, blindfolded.

Or forget the blindfolds, and simply have the players feel items inside individual bags and try to guess what they are. This way, players get to watch each other's expressions, which are bound to be interesting as the items in the bags.

How to Play:


1. Divide the players into two teams, preferably men versus women.


2. Give each team ten index cards, and have them write down a point of contention between the sexes. For example, the men might write, "Women should take out the garbage, not men. "The women might write, "Men should put the toilet seat down as a common courtesy."


3. Have the two teams sit opposite each other.


4. Shuffle Team 1's cards and place them in a pile. Do the same for Team 2's cards.


5. Have Player 1 from Team 1 pick a card from Team 2's pile and read the topic aloud. That player gets thirty seconds to argue his or her side.


6. When Player 1 is finished, have the group rate the argument on a scale of one to ten, ten being a good argument, one being poor. If the majority agrees that the argument was good, Player 1 gets a point.


7. Continue until every player has had a turn. Make up new topics if you don't have enough, or use the topics more than once.


8. Award a prize to the player with the most points. If there is a tie, have the tying players argue a point against each other, and have the group award points for the best argument.


Variation:


Read the topic question, and have everyone write a short argument for or against it. Then have them all read their statements, and vote for the best defense. Or divide the teams based on age or political beliefs.

How to Play:


1. Before the game begins, write down a series of personal questions on index cards, such as "How much do you weigh?" "When was the last time you had s*x?" "Who's your favorite movie star?" "What food would you refuse to eat?"


2. Put the stacks of cards in the middle of the play area.


3. Have the players pair up with other players they think they know very well. If you invited couples, let them play together.


4. Distribute paper and pencils.


5. Have one player pick a card from the pile and read the questions.


6. Tell each couple that one of them must write down the answer, but keep it hidden from the rest of the players.


7. Go around the room and ask the other players to guess their partners' answers out loud. After each guess, have the players hold up their answers to see if they match. If so, the couple gets a point.


8. Continue playing, taking turns between the two players in each couple, so everyone has plenty of chances to demonstrate how well they know their partner. When everyone has had enough, count the points and award a prize to the couple with the most points.


Variation:


Have one player select a card, read the question, and have all the players write down an answer. Then have the player guess everyone's answers, one at a time.
