Party Game: A Question of Scruples

I give this game two thumbs up and would definitely recommend it to any mature party group who is looking for a fun filled social time and lots of laughter.

Wikipedia Summary of the Game. Official Site of the Game

The game is relatively quick to play (1 - 1.5 hours for about 8 player; longer for larger groups and quicker for smaller parties) and very easy to learn.

Examples of questions are:

Your boyfriend/girlfriend buys you a new camera and a month later you two break up. Do you return the camera?

Your friends set you up on a blind date. From afar you spot your blind date approaching and are appalled. Do you continue with the plans?

You're on a crashing plane and you pray that if you survive, you'll donate $5000 to mother Teresa. The pilot regains control of the plane and lands safely. Do you donate the money?

You're a waiter and drop a plate of spaghetti to be served. You've used up the last batch of ingredients. Do you wash the spaghetti and serve it?

Other sample questions from http://www.scruplesgame.com/sample.html

"Your spouse has become nervous wreck since she began day trading on the Internet. But she made $10K in a month. Do you make her stop?"

"The teacher asks if you wrote your son's book report. Your son claimed he did it but the teacher's right. Do you admit it?"

"You've sold your house. Before you move out, the roof starts to leak. Do you have it fixed?"

Questions range from moral relationship dilemmas, chance encounters of fortune to choices of authoritative power. There is a total of 250 questions in the millennium edition. I guarantee this game to be a hit with any one who can enjoy a conversational game while not taking things too seriously.
