Very fun. Last 2 weekends I had 2 different groups of friends over to play and it was a blast both times. I bought the expansions online, can't wait to give them a go. The 1 limit to this game Id say is you can't overuse the same cards over and over as the shock value and hilarity is then reduced. But the nice part of this game is you can always buy new expansions and even write down your own on blanks and get really offensive.

We gave Cards Against Humanity a try over the holidays. It was a lot of fun but many of the cards are pretty lame. Maybe because we were all a few drinks deep, but we were hoping more cards were outrageous/dirty/politically incorrect.

"Things" is a better game in my opinion. It has a lot more opportunity for people to express their less than PC side. http://www.thingsthegame.com/

I have heard lots abou Cards Againast Humanity, can't wait to try.

Played Wits and Wagers on NYE. Pretty fun, though when it was described to me I wasn't sure that it would be.

Yah, we played W&W on NYE as well.

Also played Illustrations which is also a good party game.

Was going to play Time's Up but didnt really have a good group for that.

Played a lot of board games over the holidays. Coup was my favorite, a quick and tense bluffing game. Also played Noir, a simple yet surprisingly fun card game of a detective hunting down a killer.
Battlestar Galactica was a lot of fun with the traitor mechanic, loved every minute and I never saw the show.

Also had fun with King of Tokyo. Simple game, but I'm finding I like simpler games a lot more than day long brain burners like TI3 or A&A. Easier to actually get a game going too.

That'd be sweet, I'd love to play Eclipse. I bought it a few months ago and have only played it twice.

At this point, I'm in for any of those.

[Rathji]

Sounds good. Will check my various schedules and post before the end of the day if it is going to work for me.

edit: This weekend is no good for me. Next weekend I am free either day, having a preference for doing it Friday, unless we wanted to start a bit earlier on Saturday.
