Going to host a cozy night with some close pals to celebrate turning 40. Looking for recs for special and/or fun activities/games to include in the evening.

Don't Go Anywhere Without Pass The Pigs: Rule: We don’t go anywhere without the Pigs. Two pigs the size of nickels, a perfect bar game, just have everyone at the table keep their own score. To play: throw the pigs and bank as many points in one turn as you can (the points are determined by the way the pigs fall on their noses, feet, backs or butts.) The first player to score 100 points wins.

Adult Running Charades, Baby: Is this a British thing? Possibly. A game that is so so fast-paced, and only as fun as the people you chose to play with. Split the party into two teams and designated rooms— players take turns sprinting to a "host" for a clue, and running back to charade for their group. (The correct guesser returns to the host for the next clue). The crux of the game: the host’s charade list of (10) very specific  prompts, all of which are part of a unified theme. <The winning team completes the list and correctly identifies the theme.>
