Monopoly is the most popular of all the board games ever invented under the category indoor party games; basically designed as kids party games, which later transcended all the age bars and became a bestseller in all the age-groups among all the games ever sold.
Today 500 million people play this game very fondly all over the planet.
Charles Darrow patented the game in 1935 before Parker Brothers published it and started selling in the market.
The concept of the game revolves around the economic goal of every business that aims at monopolizing the market. The competitors must be pushed into bankruptcy in order to achieve the goal - a very realistic situation that we keep witnessing in the business world all day and all night every day and night.
On board also the players move in the same way with the roll of the dice trying to own every single piece of property, moving around the board, through buying, renting, and trading using 'play money' and trying to drive the other players into bankruptcy.
Balderdash is one of quite popular party board games falling under the category indoor party games.
First of all, all the players roll a die. The one who rolls the highest becomes the dasher, who draws a definition card and rolls the die to decide which of the five words listed on the card will be used to play the game.
The definition is written down on a piece of paper and the rest of the players try their hand on writing one of their own and hand over to the dasher. If any one of them matches with the definition supplied, the player gets 3 reward points. If there are more than one correct, the round is called off retaining the points awarded to all the correct ones.
All the definitions are read out aloud in a random manner. If a player guesses which one is the right one, s/he earns 2 points. If someone guesses a wrong one to be right, the player who wrote that wrong one earns 1 point for her/himself. If no one is able to guess the correct definition, the dasher earns 3 points for her/himself.
The tokens are moved on the board in accordance with the points earned by each player and the game proceeds further as another dasher replaces the former.
The player whose token reaches the end point first is declared the winner of the game.

Spin the Bottle is one of the simplest teenage party games falling under the kissing party games category.
Looks like the society did take care of its adolescent members going to shortly turn adult in as far as they needed experiencing the sexual call of nature raising its head right after puberty in a biological manner, partially satiating the need of the body as well as of mind during those crucial years before mature adulthood arrived.
May be such games are the answer to this need of theirs only!
The game doesn't require any equipment but for a bottle that can spin on its body while lying down on the floor and a skill to be able to spin it like that.
The players sit in a circle and one of them spins a bottle in the center of the circle, which points toward someone as it stops spinning. The spinner kisses the person pointed on her/his lips who then, in turn, spins it again to point it toward someone else.
In another variant every player gets two chances at spinning kissing two persons instead of one, but if the bottle points toward the same person both the times, the two have to go further than kissing, say removing a piece of their clothing while doing so.
