What are some good party games for adults?
I'm hosting a party for about 15 people and I need game ideas beyond charades and Trivial Pursuit. Something that gets people laughing and interacting. We'll have some drinks so nothing too complicated. What are the best party games you've played? Are there good card games for large groups?

Mainstream isn't always best. Some of my favorite stuff never got famous. Dig past the top 40 and the big releases — the underground and indie scene has hidden gems that the casual fan never finds. That's half the fun.
Borrow before you buy. The library has way more than books — CDs, DVDs, even some equipment. Try things out for free first. No reason to drop a lot of money before you know whether you'll stick with it.
Whatever you do, ignore the snobs. Every hobby has gatekeepers who act like you need expensive gear or 'correct' taste to belong. Forget them. Enjoy it your own way at your own pace. It's supposed to be fun.
Check out dedicated forums and message boards for this topic. The communities are usually very welcoming to newcomers and can give much more detailed advice than a general Q&A site. Plus they have buyer's guides and FAQ sections.
Honestly just dive in. You learn this stuff by doing it, not by researching it forever. I spent months reading about getting started instead of actually starting. Looking back I wasted a lot of time being scared to begin.
