Growing up in a religious community that frowned upon drinking, I played hundreds of party games as a young adult. Some of these were fun (mafia) and others not so much (what if). What surprised me here is how exceptionally bad and mundane the games advertised are. There must have been somebody with a better imagination back then, but they weren't the ones filling up the space in the magazines.
Jeepers! Based on these nostalgic photos, it seems I missed all the fun! (Well... perhaps not.)
By the time I experienced parties as a semi-adult, which was the late '60's, the most popular party games were centered around our most popular pastimes: Sex & intoxication. (This being the hippie generation, intoxication was a near dead-heat between alcohol & marijuana. We weren't THAT different than generations before & after, though -- sex was still Number One.)
Thanks again, Gene. Brings back fond memories.
