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!

Sushi Go ( you might need Sushi Go Party for 7 players ) has been a go-to for my family
This was my choice when playing with people that aren’t good with English.
If you want more depth, 7 Wonders is very similar but has a lot more going on. Also mostly language-independent.
Since you are on vacation and might not be able to find some of the other suggestions I will mention Liar’s Dice, also known as Perudo. If you can’t find an official copy all you need is 5 dice per player (so 30 dice for 6 for example) and some cups or other way to hide the dice rolls.
I’m on vacation but not out of town so I can still go to my local game shop!
Dixit is also a good fit! It is a very easily explained game, where you have to say a word or short phrase describing a mystery card. The rest then places a card they think that matches the description as well, and then a voting round starts. It is really fun, and playing it would do more justice than this explanation :p
I had Dixit but sold it once I got Mysterium. Then I sold Mysterium after I bought Obscurio. They don’t like Obscurio because there’s a traitor role 🤡
- Wavelength (team based guessing game)
- Ready Set Bet (horse race-themed betting game)
- Cartographer (everybody tries to draw a map, it‘s not that interactive though)
could be a good start!
Ready Set Bet is definitely something I’d love to try, are the side bets or VIP cards simple? My only fear is that I’d have to spend a lot of time explaining those cards to everyone
