So many of these choices involve violently slapping the shit out of something. You haven’t lived until your 10 year old cracks the plastic dome on the sorry board.
Slap Jack played by the kid and his mother in plane on the tray table behind your seat. Double the chaos, not only for the kid but for my attempt at sleeping.
Sorry is fun. One of my favorite pastors said it’s basically impossible to play well in good conscience as a Christian, or something very close to that.
@jsfs@xobzoo You’re bringing up your kids wrong, lol. I’m a Christian and I use it as an opportunity to take out all of my frustration and go as hard as possible on my kids.
@jsfs@xobzoo A friend made his own board game. It’s basically a pirate-themed Sorry, with a few twists. He made a large table-sized laminated board and cards. He gets together 4 or 5 couples to spend an evening playing. An added bonus is that he is also a prolific (and skilled) home brewer, with a half dozen beer and cider choices on tap, so the game play gets a little wilder as the evening progresses.
@xobzoo@zinimusprime I always thought it was one of the funniest things he’d ever said, and also that people could do well to care a bit less about the results of a game if it was genuinely affecting their consciences. Maybe it’s like addicts who know they should avoid being around their addictions… Really competitive people might have a harder time separating themselves from their game avatar, perhaps? The point of a game is to have fun. If they can’t do that, maybe they really shouldn’t play.
Musical chairs. One rule, when the music stops, put your butt in a chair. Most people try to be polite, but there’s always that one person willing to take even their 80 year old grandma out for that last seat.
Yard darts!
@yakkoTDI Catching Lawn darts!
@mehcuda67 @yakkoTDI I and a friend once played catching a boomerang. They aren’t as predictable as you might think.
Spoons. The only game I’ve ever fallen out of a second story balcony onto / into a car while playing.

@jsfs It’s made a little better if you play it with kids [that you care about], and then play as intentionally lousy as you can.
Benefits:
If you have another adult present (attempting the same thing) it goes even quicker.

Pure chaos? Made me think of professional ice hockey = bumper cars without the cars.
Happy Salmon is the first game that comes to mind when I think pure chaos
Also Dutch Blitz
Bonkers!
Not quite the same genre, but my first thought on reading the question was Super Smash Bros

Anything with my grandsons (age 9 and 7) They make up new rules as they play.
Pit was always a loud, crazy game when my family played.
@shalynrut yes!!! I love pit. It is a great ice breaker game
SPOONS!!! If someone hasn’t dove over the table and you haven’t impaled a card with a spoon, you aren’t playing it right.
