My own epic fail. This makes my boyfriend pee his pants. He shows all of our friends...
So if you're like me, and you're invited to a dinner party, and don't feel like wasting your time or money on some Pinterest recipe that's sure to end up on epicpinterestfail.com, do yourself and everyone else a favor.... bring a game instead.
Here are a few I found that seem promising. *Note, I haven't played all of these yet....I'm going strictly off the reviews!

Foodie Fight
This game had great reviews, and it's set up much like the familiar game, Trivial Pursuit. Foodie Fight must've been a huge hit, because they've now come out with Foodie Fight Rematch! Here is the description provided on Amazon:

But think fast, because the first player or team to fill in their game board wins!"
Includes:
- Deck of trivia cards
- Six game boards
- Color die

Wine Wars
From the reviews, it seemed that many people who loved the game "Foodie Fight", also loved Wine Wars. Here is the description from Amazon:
"This fun and fascinating trivia game tests your knowledge of the fruit of the vine. Let the battle begin as players answer questions in categories such as Vine to Vino (growing grapes, making wine, and world production), Wine Cellar (selecting, storing, and tasting wine), and Cork Culture (wine people, business, arts and science, and trivia). Perfect for those new to the world of wine, but challenging enough for the devoted oenophile, Wine Wars will have you swirling, sniffing, and sipping your way to vinicultural victory."

Ok, I have played this one! It's pretty good. There are many different versions too. Be sure to check them all out. I played the girls night out version at dinner before a Bachelorette Party.
