</ul>

<p>I know so many exciting board games but most of them cannot be played by 8 players, and the others are not fit in the limited time of the workshop, because they have too many rules, I prefer a game with simple rules!
For example, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriegspiel_(chess)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Kriegspiel</a> is a very nice board game, but it is played by only two players and it is very hard to handle it in workshops! If the number of players was 2, then I could reduce chess to a very very simple board game, and then they can play it like Kriegspiel!</p>

<p>Also, I have a trouble to find a suitable tag!</p>

@Joe W , My dear Joe W, Where did you recommend me to ask for game recommendations? Could you guide me where should I ask?

I am a graduate math student and I believe that a nice way to raise the mathematical skills of people(especially students!) is to familiarize them with games and encourage them to use their minds and think on their own ideas.
I have studied too many puzzle games and I have found too many excellent puzzle games.
But I believe that board games and card games are more effective and I want to find a board game or a card game which have almost all of the following properties:

* The game can be played by 8-9 players (preferably 8 players!)
