Best Games for 7 or More Players

During the holiday season, chances are good that you'll find yourself in a big gathering of people. Here are my picks for the best games for 7 or more players. This list includes a good mix of strategy games and party games, board games and card games -- so you should be able to find something appropriate for any group.

In Saboteur, pictured here, dwarves are mining for gold and working together to find the best path to make sure they can get the gold back to the surface and divide it. Unfortunately, some of the dwarves might be saboteurs, looking out for themselves instead of the group. After three rounds of digging for gold, the player with the most is the winner in this card game. I carry this game in my car so that it's always available.
