Loaded Questions Party is one of the many versions in the Loaded Questions line up and is themed around playing this during a party. Due to the party theme, many things are simplified from standard Loaded Questions and there is more involvement with the players using Party Favor and Party Foul cards. None of the questions have a theme and are broad enough that anyone could answer without problem.
Loaded Questions Party is simplified down that a die is no longer needed. To play, you simply draw a card and read the question that corresponds to the color space you are on (if on a multicolored space, or starting the game, read any question). All other players will write down answers to the question and someone will read them out load to the active player. The active player then picks his favorite answer and guesses which person wrote what answer. Movement across the board is determined in this step, as the player with the favorite answer moves up one space, and the active player then advances one space for each person he correctly identified to their answer. Simply rinse and repeat this process until someone wins.
The "party" aspect of the game comes from 16 Party Favors and 16 Party Fouls which are distributed across the deck of cards. When one of these are drawn, it is read first, then lets the active player pick any color question to read. They really don't do much when drawn, they just have special requirements everyone needs to pay attention too; Party Favors allow players to advance one space and Party Fouls make players move back one space.
The game creates a lot of laughs, but also may reveal what people really think about each other by the answers they write; answers need to be taken lightly and not personally. The game changes depending on who you play it with. I've played this with my family and all the answers to the questions were full of inside jokes related to each other and they were all generally clean and family appropriate answers. On the flip side, I've played this with a group of co-workers and the game turned raunchy as everyone tried to create the biggest laugh or say the most shocking thing. Either way, both myself and everyone I played with had a lot of fun and plenty of laughs.
This is an incredibly light game, and not something you would want to bring to a board game night full of hardcore gamers. There really is no skill involved besides deducing who wrote what answer. Honestly, you can have just as much fun without the board, just carry the cards with you along with some paper and ask questions until you all get bored.
TL;DR: A question and answer game that can appeal and adapts to any makeup of players. Simply answer questions to make people laugh - no need for strategy or skill.
Pros:
+ Can be very funny
+ Not complicated at all and anyone can play
+ Lots of replay value
Cons:
- No strategy or skill involved
- Really all you are buying is a small deck of cards
- Big box for so few components
