Memorial Day Games
This first list is a mixture of many different kinds of games to give you a good idea of what is out there. When choosing what games to play you need to think about your guests, aka the people that are going to be playing them. If you have a party filled with mainly kids, then perhaps an intense word scrambler is not the game for you.
If your party consists of mainly adults, pick some of the more challenging games.
Many of these can be played(and enjoyed) by both groups equally, so if you have a healthy mix of both at your party do not worry!
