Party & Co Original is the edition Dujardin brought out thirty years after the first Party & Co. The box holds a game board, 400 cards with 2,000 challenges between them, four pawns shaped like a gramophone and 20 tokens for keeping score.
You play in teams and work through five kinds of challenge: forbidden words, drawing, 'un, deux, trois', music and sounds, and the question. Win a challenge in every category and you go through to the final test.
Bear in mind that this is the French edition. The cards, the board and the rules are in French, so you play it best with people who follow French easily - for a bilingual gathering that is exactly the appeal.
A game like this comes into its own on an evening with friends or at a family party, when there are enough people in the house to make something of it.
