Reindeer Games are Christmas party games falling under the category fun party games, which are played with the spirit of fun more than with the spirit to win.

In a Christmas party you must say to others "merry Christmas", since that is what the spirit of the party is. But beware; you are going to be a loser in your game as a reindeer in case another reindeer playing the game in the same group overhears you wishing "merry Christmas" to others.

You are supposed to clip clothes pins looking like reindeers (using some googly eyes and small red felt circles to use as the nose) to your clothes. If you hear someone saying "merry Christmas" to another, you grab all her/his pins and clip them on your clothes. The others can do the same in case they hear you saying these words to anyone else.

What a tough situation! You don't want to lose the game since that is the spirit of the game and you must say "merry Christmas" to all since that is the spirit of the Christmas party. The person with the most pins at the end of the game wins and picks up the gifts s/he prefers the most as winner of the game.

Printable Mad Libs is very popular among word games frequently played as fun party games for having fun and creating comedy. The game is especially popular with American children who are often in search of its printable copies so that they can always have ready made fun available with them in their bags.

Leonard Stern and Roger Price first invented the game in 1953 and later published it as a book in 1958, which is still in print by Price Stern Sloan that the two of them had confounded for the purpose.

Each page of the book or of the printable versions of the game has a short story on it, in which many of the key words comprising all parts of speech - nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs - are replaced with blanks specified by what part of speech they come from.

One of the players whose turn it is asks others to fill the blanks without mentioning the context in which the word denoted by the blank is to be used. You can easily imagine the kind of nonsensical comedy that the fillings in the blanks are going to create when read with them filled in the blanks in continuity as a story.

Hearts falls in the category of Playing Card Games under the broader category of Indoor Party Games which is designed for 4 players to play though there is flexibility to extend it to both sides accommodating 3-6 players.

The game is played with a standard deck of 52 playing cards in which each player tries to score as few points as one can making it an evasion type game. The format of the game is that of taking tricks, and if the trick taken consists of any title suit or the queen of spade, points are assigned to the winner of the trick. There is no provision of trumps in the game.

Though the game has earned good popularity in live parties of playing card games where indoor party games are much in demand, yet the major role has been played by its Microsoft version packaged with Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems. Internet gaming sites have also been a reason to its being phenomenally popular as the game stands today.

13 cards each are dealt to the 4 players. All of them take out 3 cards from their hands and pass them on to the player on their right simultaneously, to keep. The player to the left leads the first trick with the rest of the players playing a card in turn clockwise, following suit when available, and otherwise playing any card which may include a penalty Heart or the queen of spade. The player with the highest card of the led suit takes the trick along with all the penalty cards the trick contains, and then leads the next trick.

The number of hearts you win slap as many penalty points on you whereas one single queen of spade slaps you with 13 of them alone making the highest possible penalty score to be 26 in a deal. The game is declared over as and when any of the players reaches 100 penalty points usually though other variants are in vogue as well.

The winner is the one who scored the least!

Strip games are fun party games cum adult party games played as variants of board games, card games, sports or any other game that can be designed to make players remove their clothes as they lose points in the game.

Strip poker is the most famous of them all, though any other game out of Blackjack, Bullshit, Speed, Chess, Yahtzee, Shithead et cetera can easily be molded to be played as its strip variant.

The undercurrent of these games flows very deep within the human psyche that has taken itself quite away from its instinctive natural self including both, the body and the mind. The self has been covered - the body with the clothes and the mind with the protocols.

It all may be having its social benefits whatever, but one thing it has done for sure to the human psyche in that it has turned it a victim to a perennial sense of interaction-starvation, which always keeps craving to seek ways to compensate for the unnatural pressure forced upon it.

Players can participate in these games for fun, thrill and excitation, but if they feel in between that they will not be able to psychologically cope up with further disrobing, they can always opt out of the game at any level.

Removing clothes is not only thrilling for the audience, but equally so for the stripper as well!
