  Gather your team! The game is simple but the struggle is real. Pressure mounts with each advancing round. Stay on track through mishaps and laughter as your team strives for perfection in this classic party game! Players count to 21 one by one around the group. Once you've successfully reached 21, draw a Numbers card and a Rules card. The rule will replace the number during the counting process (Example: Instead of saying the number 5, players need to clap twice.) If you mess up the count or forget the rule, start the round over. Once a round of all rules has been successfully completed, your team wins!

nana, which was later reprinted as Trio, is a card game in which players are looking for three of a kind. The deck consists of 36 cards, numbered 1-12 three times. Players receive some cards in hand, which they are required to sort from low to high, and the remaining cards are placed face down on the table. On your turn, choose any single card to reveal, either the low or high card from a player's hand (including your own) or any face-down card from the table. Then, do this again. If the two cards show the same number, continue your turn; if they do not, return the cards to where they came from and end your turn. If you reveal three cards showing the same number, take these cards as a set in front of you. If you are the first player to collect three sets, you win — except that a player wins immediately if they collect the set of 7s or two sets that add or subtract to 7, e.g., 4s and 11s. Note that nana and Trio contain identical components, but nana is labeled for 2-5 players, while Trio is labeled for 3-6 players. Trio has slight changes to the rules, with players using all cards no matter the player count. Additionally, you play in normal mode — winning with three sets or the 7s — or "spicy" mode, winning with two linked sets or the 7s. Finally, Trio includes rules for playing in teams with four or six players.

Time's Up! Family Edition is a charades-based party game for three or more players (and is best with teams of two). Before the game begins, each player looks at several cards featuring common items from everyday life and chooses some of them. Each player's cards are shuffled to form a deck, and this deck is used for each of the game's three rounds. In each round, team members take turns trying to get their teammates to guess as many words and phrases on the cards as possible in 30 seconds. In round 1, almost any kind of clue is allowed, and the cluegiver cannot pass on a card. In round 2, no more than one word can be used in each clue (but unlimited sounds and gestures are permitted); the cluegiver can pass on any card they like, and the teammates can give only a single answer. In round 3, the cluegiver can use no words at all and can pass as often as they like; again, teammates are allowed only a single guess. Give good physical clues in round 1, and they'll pay dividends down the road when you need to keep your mouth shut and gesture like a maniac before time's up!
