People To People is fun.
Need a bit of a larger group for it to be real fun. What happens is you need someone to be an announcer. The announcer will shout "people to people" and everyone in the group needs to find a partner. Once everyone has a partner the announcer will shout out ____ to _____ filling in the blank with body parts. For instance "head to head" means each pair of people needs to touch their heads together. They continue "foot to knee" so both people in the pair will have to touch their foot to the other persons knee. do a few more and everyone winds up in really funny positions. then shout people to people and start again with a new partner (and perhaps new announcer).
"robots"
one person acts as a robot the other acts as a controller. commands are tap the head to start the robot (the partner starts walking forward like a robot) stop the robot by tapping on the middle of the persons back. tap the right shoulder the person turns right 90 degrees tap left shoulder person turns left 90 degrees. if the robot gets to where they can't walk forward without running into something they should start making a robot alarm sound to alert the controller.
you can have one person controlling more than one robot to make it get crazy.

The card game Mao is fun.
I think it qualifies because the rules are semi-arbitrary, and it's an exercise in picking up on what the person in power is not telling you.
So, it's a card game thats alot like crazy 8's. For the rest, check out the wikipedia article because sometimes it's funner if only one person knows the rules.

This may be obvious, which may be why nobody has mentioned it yet, but....parkour? Strategically maneuvering urban terrain for someone that's never heard of it. I've spent whole days doing this it's so much fun.
It is, if you enjoy the company your with. If you can have a good time simply sitting around talking it up with a certain group, play that "game" with then. Tons of fun.
Damn, I'm surprised too. I'm surprised I didn't! Between parkour and baseball, you'll be able to make the best out of any Black Bloc scenario.

So, I guess I will try to describe Kumbati (somebody please tell me how to spell this!).
Once you play it, it will become obvious what it is training you for.
This is meant to be played outside.
There are two roughly equal teams, one on each side of a line on the ground.
The goal of the game is to get everybody onto your side of the line, using whatever tactics are necessary.
For example, if there is a strong player on the other side, you and a teammate can make a plan to run across the line, one of you taking his legs and taking him down, then both of you carrying him across the line back to your side.
The catch is, however, that while on the other side of the line, you must constantly be shouting "kumbati kumbati kumbati" and if you run out of breath, or are held on that side until you stop saying it, you now join that team.
It gets really chaotic when you are defending against snatch squads while simutaniously planning ways to grab opposing players.
It is super fun, super physical, and everybody is on the winning team in the end (unless you designate one side of the line the cop side).

The shoe game, Kumbati, and spoon & knife sound like so much fun. I'm going to have to play these with my friends now (most likely forcing them to play since I am always the most hyper o___o )
Table Top Games-
The other night I was hanging out with all of my cousins and one of them insisted that we play a table top game.
A table top game is an imaginative/role play/dice game like Dungeons and Dragons that requires one person to be the game master. I had always thought it was a fun idea but never tried it before.
It turns out there are many different table top games with different styles/story lines. Most of them you can play for free, just get your friends together, print out the character sheets (each person fills out their own when they create their character, rules apply to dif games), dice and of course some snacks!
The one we chose was called "Vampire Masquerade"
- We were all different genus/clans of vampires in modern America.
The game master usually has to act as all of the random entities that you meet inside the game. My cousin being an actor was perfect for it as he imitated ghouls, villains and prostitutes. We cooked quesadillas and had a grand time.
The best thing about table tops is that you can continue your campaign where you left off, so it would be a good game to play if you were traveling with 4-5 other friends. Something to do before you fall asleep at the end of each night.

"Pandemic" reminded me a bit of war on Terror , you are playing against the game and basically only have a chance if you cooperate and plan ahead with the other players
