I use this machine at our County Library. We have movies on Thursdays and this machine has a hard time spitting out popcorn fast enough. Our last movie had 60 kids, I popped and bagged popcorn for an hour. It might go faster once I get a better routine down (4th time using it) but I'm already looking at larger machines.

It seems smaller than the ones you see in concession stands. So far it has worked great, easy clean up also. I purchased this for my husband for Christmas. Him and our grandchildren love it. It would probably take several batches for a crowd that big. We use it for weekend movie night, also going to use it for grandchildrens birthday parties this year.

Hi Amy this is our second popcorn machine in 6years. Our first was a smaller model. This model is for 8oz packets which pop a Lot of corn fast....perfect for your stated need. If you conduct events of this size often you may want a larger capacity device. For normal personal and infrequent event use this is a good model

This is smaller than you will need. Get a commercial popper if you want it to hold up to the use you expect and the speed you will want for having the popcorn available when needed - unless, that is, you are only holding this event once. Our school has a commercial popper and sells popcorn at all the athletic events as fundraiser for the athletic and band departments.

For western style, ie. with knife and fork for each guest, 12 people would be a bit too tight, I guess. I've put at most 14 people around my table. They were mostly small to medium size people, with chopsticks and small plates. We were closed friends and everyone was pretty happy, I felt. :)

I think a small group could enjoy, but it's definitely "rollicking fun" with bigger groups. We loved it for family reunions! If the four of you are all on the same level of ability and knowledge base then it could still be fun. We enjoyed including children and giving them ideas of what to act out. If it's two adults and two younger kids, it could still be fun for each parent to work with a child, but it will be quite a different game than 5-6 per team jumping right in with crazy acting out. Does that help at all?

If you had 4 7 year olds it would be fine or for a family of 4 or 5. A lot more kids u need bigger. My impressions As a former teacher & camp director.

You need 2 players. The more players will limit the players on options. Each player is dealt 7 cards and the rest as the draw pile. I would say 2 to 4 players to make the game more interesting.

I would range the person capacity at least a good fifty could fit in. Six tables, with a capacity of eight people per table. So i rounded it to fifty.

Easily over 100 people which depends on your configuration and setup. I had ten round tables seating ten each and four buffet tables with plenty of room to spare.

it is perfectly appropriate for a group of adults to play. I have played this others and all of us enjoyed playing it.

Hard to say. I had 100 guests and put it on my desert table. I had a lot left over.

At the time I purchased my State Fair Bingo, I was able to purchase additional boxes of cards. However, the first night we played we noticed everyone was winning at the same time! Out of fifty plus cards, we had about five variations of numbers. The next time I ordered, I ordered a package of five hundred paper bingo cards. They were punchouts, which is inconvenient, but we gave everyone pennies, washers, bolts, etc, to use as markers. Our guests were cracking up.

There are 15 rounds. Each round varies. We've had 30 minute games and 2 hour games. My suggestion is, you get 5 dedicated guys together, make a weekly game night and get 2-3 games per week. It's a good competitive time.

I would say yes, but it depends on what kinds of adults will be playing. It's a strategy game, so one has to think a lot. But if you thoroughly enjoy the company of your friends, I'm fairly certain this will be a good match.

yes! you can play with lots and lots of people. (you dont need two groups) you would have to modify it a little. but we dont play by the rules anyway. we just used the cards when we do really big groups! (scratch paper and pens instead of the small dry erase boards it comes with because there are not enough)

The questions are clean. It is a short game. Knowing trivia does not help/hurt you much. I had a small child playing on my "team" place one of the betting chips every turn - they enjoyed it. Older kids can play on their own. The only consideration is whether you want to present the concept of betting (gambling with points) in a positive light, as this game does make it fun.

I would go with the 6 person for 4 people. Its comfortable for 2 people, it would be a stretch stuffing 2 full size adults and 2 kids in there.

2 people could in theory play the game but it would get boring fast. I prefer playing the game with 6+ people So the game lasts a lot longer.

Yes. It may be harder and your group will probably know it came form your 10-year-old, but just pretend you don't know and move on. We don't play with the board either. We just pass the card box around and have each person host around. It's not competitive. it works better that way. Great, great game.
