FAQ: Best Games for 5 players

What makes a good game for 5 players?
The best 5-players games keep everyone involved with minimal downtime. We curate titles that scale wellβ€”party hits, strategy standouts, and co-ops that shine at this player count.
Do these games work with more or fewer players?
Many picks also play well outside 5 players. Check each product’s recommended range (e.g., β€œ3–7 players” or β€œ2–8 players”).
Party games or strategy games?
Both. You’ll find lively party titles and thinky strategy games that still run smoothly with 5 players.
Can I pick these up in-store?
Yesβ€”most items are available for in-store pickup at checkout. Visit our Downtown San Diego shop for recommendations or join a game night to try something new.
