In the spirit of the Hierarchy of Drinkable Liquids, we at Prinsiana give you... the Hierarchy of Games for Groups of Five or More People!
(This is not to be confused with the Hierarchy of Games for a Group of Four People, although there is a bit of overlap. Please do not confuse the two. I beg you, do not confuse.)
These five games are listed in alphabetical order:
Balderdash. Ideal group size: 6 to 10. (Beyond Balderdash, which adds new categories other than just defining words, is a slight improvement over the original.)
Boggle. Ideal group size: 5 or 6. (More than that, and (a) no one has any words left by the end, and (b) it takes too, too long for everyone to go through their lists of words, and thus (c) everyone gets a bit bored.)
Nerts. Ideal group size: 4 to 8. (If you don't know: Nerts is a superior version of group Klondike solitaire.)
Scattergories. Ideal group size: 4 to 8. (Yes, I do like the linguistic-type games, you amentiferous verdure, you.)
Taboo. Ideal group size: 6 or 8. (My parents, my brother and his wife went through the entire two boxes of cards in -- I believe -- less than a week.)
Four-person hierarchy shortly.

i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
