Dutch Blitz!!! Phase 10, Apples to Apples, Catch Phrase, Taboo. Pretty much any game you can play with a bunch of friends, and any game that will make you laugh like crazy.

OH! And I love playing 4 on a Couch, I Have Never, and Ducks Running in a Snowstorm! $\:D/$ DRiaS has to be one of THE most hilarious games out there, and it's great with large groups.

O I can't believe I forgot spit, tips, speed, UNO, connect 4, connect 4 stackers (or something like that), and I never!!

This is really funny! But we went a monopoly tournament and my sister, who doesn't really like monopoly, won!!

Anybody else here every played Hand and Foot??

Everyone keeps mentioning Dutch Blitz. May I ask what that is?

I've never even heard of it before. Is it some kind of Yankee game?

Its a kind of card game. We almost played it once but we never did.

could some perhaps give us a more thero(sp?) explanation?

Here's a good explanation. Basically anything you don't know about you can find on Wikipedia. So much information, it's very useful. Or here's their website. God Bless!

Here are the basics of the game.

The game consists of four decks of 40 cards each, and can be played by two, three or four persons. Each of the four decks has a different design: pump, carriage, pail and plow. Each player chooses one of these deck designs and keeps it for the duration of the game, regardless of the number of hands played. The faces of these decorative cards are printed in red, blue, yellow and green. The red and blue cards carry a Pennsylvania Dutch Boy illustration. The yellow and green cards carry a Pennsylvania Dutch girl illustration. Each player builds three basic groups of cards in front of him from which he will play the game. The groups of cards placed in position are referred to as the Post, Blitz and Wood Piles. Prime object of the game is to build as many cards in sequence - 1 through 10 - in the same respective colors in the center Dutch Piles, for points toward game, using as many cards from the Blitz Pile as possible. The first player to exhaust his Blitz Pile has "Blitzed" his opponents and ended the hand. Cards for placement in the Dutch Piles can also be drawn from a player's Post and Wood Piles. Several hands, or rounds, must be played until a total of 75 points is accumulated by any one player who then wins the game. Speed is essential in winning since everyone plays at the same time! Dutch Blitz is a fast-moving, exciting game for everyone.

I'm rather slow, but it's still fun! $\:D/$

Edit: Hehe, I knew someone would post the same time I did!

The quick and simple definition is that it's basically solitaire with multiple people, and everyone is trying to get rid of their nifty extra-special pile of 10 cards before anyone else does. And no, it's not a Yankee game. I live in the South and I've played it all my life. I've had to teach it to all my unenlightened Yankee friends because they've never heard of it. For anyone who's played...have you ever played with more than 4 people?

Yeah, I've played with a whole group of people using 2-3 decks. $\:D/$ Fun!

Some people don't want their cards marked, but I don't think it matters. It's just so fun and insane playing with 8 people!

Peanuts/Nertz/Pounce/Moochie/whatever-else-one-wants-to-call-it is essentially the same thing as Dutch Blitz, except you can play it with however many people you want and everyone has their own deck! $\:D/$ I've played Dutch Blitz, but I prefer Peanuts over DB. I think the most people I have played Peanuts with would be... *thinks* perhaps 10 or 11. It's pretty much the AWESOMEST game on the PLANET!
