It can happen to anyone: a friend of a friend joins for the evening and suddenly Catan is not an option.

What are your goto games in those situations?

For us:

  • Bang!: spaghetti western with secret teams, up to 7 players
  • Fuji flush: easy card game, up to 8 players
  • Exploding Kittens: silly cards where drawing may make you lose, up to 10 players (with the expansion)
  • Secret Hitler: a kind of werewolf where you have to create governments and pass laws, up to 10 players

I prefer Bang! The dice game over the regular Bang!, because it eliminates the early game where nobody shoots. There's almost always someone getting shot in every round even if you have no clue about the roles yet.
