Nudelsnurr

My whole family was howling by the third round — the satisfaction of watching the noodle arc perfectly into a ring is unmatched. It's the rare party game that gets everyone off the couch, and setup takes literally ten seconds. We've already played it three nights in a row.

The rings are sturdy enough to survive a few wild throws, and the flinging mechanic got everyone off the couch within minutes. Even my uncle who hates games was laughing by the third round.

We played this at a friend's party and ended up in a full-on flinging tournament that lasted an hour. The rings are big enough that even the clumsy players get a fair shot, which keeps everyone laughing instead of frustrated. It's now the first game we pull out when people come over.
