Hi folks! Currently on vacation with my family and we're getting tired of the party games I own. Looking for a couple of suggestions! Some caveats:

  • No word based games, we already have and love Just One, Codenames, etc
  • No social deduction games, they hate them
  • Preferably language independent or with few text dependence. We have Portuguese and german people in the group and not everyone understands English!
  • Low weight/rules
  • Supports 7 players!

Thanks a lot friends!

Captain Sonar goes up to 8. It does have some frantic communication among the teams.

Sushi Go Party goes up to 8

Camel Up

Captain Sonar requires too much communication to work, it's impossible. Some people only speak portuguese, other only german, not everyone speaks english....

I already own Sushi Go (not party), I think it's an OK game and didn't want to get the party version.

Camel Up is a great suggestion, someone in my regular group owns it already so I might just borrow it!
