Top Board Games for Larger Groups!

Tabletop Games April 06, 2023 - 03:00 PM 0 Comments Matt Farmer

We stock a huge selection of board games here at Total Cards, but sometimes is difficult to pick a board game that is right for you and your group, especially if you have a larger group. That is why we have complied a shortlist of some great games to pick up if you want to pick something up that accommodates a larger number of players. We also recommend these games to play with your family and friends whose only experience of board games is playing Monopoly at Christmas!

Codenames

Codenames is a super fun and easy to play game that is great for larger groups! The game is a bit more abstract than the other options on our list. These abstract rules however do make it easy to accommodate up to 8 (or even more) players.

The game is divided into red and blue, each side has a team leader, the team leader's goal is to lead their team to the final victory. At the beginning of the game, there will be 25 cards on the table with different words. Each card has a corresponding position, representing different colours. Only the team leader can see the colour of the card. The team leader should prompt according to the words, let his team members find out the cards of their corresponding colours, and find out all the cards of their own colours to win.

Play Codenames if you are looking for:

  • a puzzle game
  • a highly interactive and sociable experience
  • something that can be taught very quickly

The Great Dalmuti - Dungeons & Dragons

In the Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game, the dice may control your fate, but in The Great Dalmuti, it’s about how cleverly you play the cards you’re dealt. One round you’re polishing your royal crown, and the next you’re whacking rats in a filthy alley. It’s a gloat-filled, winner-take-all contest in this D&D-themed version of the classic card game.

The Great Dalmuti is considered a modern classic by many and its simple but effective rules mean that it hasn't aged. Even though the box states that the game tops out at 8 players, there isn't a strict limit on the number of players that can enjoy this game.

This D&D version of the Great Dalmuti has exactly the same rules as the original but simply has a veneer of Dungeons & Dragons, including a selection of classic monsters.

Play Great Dalmuti if you are looking for:

  • a game that can last for as long as you want
  • an intuitive and simple game
  • a D&D aesthetic

Cartographers - A Roll Player Tale

In Cartographers: A Roll Player Tale, players compete to get the highest reputation at the end of four seasons. Each season, players draw on their map sheet and score against unique conditions at the end of the season. But you are not alone in this wilderness. The Dragul contest your claims with their outposts, and so you must draw your lines carefully to reduce their influence. The player with the highest reputation at the end of the year is declared the winner.

Cartographer is a fun game that is easy enough for any board gamer to pick up and boasts the ability to accommodate a large number of players.

Play Cartographers - A Roll Player Tale if you're looking for:

  • a game that is quick to play
  • a tactile experience
  • something that can be replayed again and again

Junggle

Come join them in their natural habitat with Junggle, a series of five mini-games that can be enjoyed by two to ten players. Every game uses the same deck of cards and the animal, which shows that each animal is scared of the animal immediately before it: rhinos are scared of elephants, lions are scared of rhinos, and crocodiles are scared of lions. But elephants, the largest and mightiest of the animals, are scared of mice. Each mini-game uses this relationship in a different way for maximum variety. Come take a walk on the wild side and see what wonders await in the jungle!

Play Jungle if you're looking for:

  • multiple games in one box
  • something that is suitable for young children
  • something to fit between other larger games

The Werewolves Of Miller's Hollow

The Werewolves Of Miller's Hollow is an incredibly addictive bluffing and social engagement game that works well in larger groups. Players take on secret roles and try to figure out true alliances and stop the other side before it's too late. Werewolf is a social game that requires no equipment to play, and can accommodate almost any large group of players!

In our humble opinion, Werewolves is a great choice for any party situation and is even a great fit for those in your group who aren't as experienced or interested in board games.

Play The Werewolves Of Miller's Hollow if you are looking for:

  • a game for a larger group
  • a highly social experience
  • a simple set of rules
