<p>Does anyone know the name of the board game visible on the following picture?
<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/ETxar.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/ETxar.jpg" alt="Still from Friends S05E11" /></a>
The image is taken from the eleventh episode of the fifth season of <em>Friends</em> (&quot;The One With All The Resolutions&quot;), at around 4/5 of the episode (17:53 is the exact timestamp of the frame from my version).</p>
<p>The things I thought might help to identify the game:</p>
<ul>
<li>The game seems to have an oval board.</li>
<li>There are two small blue UFO-shaped parts (<em>maybe dice poppers?</em>): one on the table and one in the hands of Joey (second guy from the left).</li>
<li>There seems to be two different kind of cards involved - in red and blue colors.</li>
<li>The box features a cartoonish drawing of a woman and a man and the dominant color seems purple.</li>
<li>The game seems to support 5 players - but considering it's a tv show, this might not hold true. I recon yellow, red and blue figures on the board, and it seems that there are two from each color.</li>

You mention coloured pieces on the board.  There also appear to be two white pieces off the board as well.  When I zoom in on the board the pawns appear 'wine bottle' shaped but that is not clear.

@StartPlayer The white pieces I think are just the caps of the water bottles, but I may be wrong. But yep, the figures seems 'wine bottle' shaped.

Does anyone know the name of the board game visible on the following picture?
[![Still from Friends S05E11](https://i.sstatic.net/ETxar.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/ETxar.jpg)
The image is taken from the eleventh episode of the fifth season of *Friends* ("The One With All The Resolutions"), at around 4/5 of the episode (17:53 is the exact timestamp of the frame from my version).

The things I thought might help to identify the game:

* The game seems to have an oval board.
* There are two small blue UFO-shaped parts (*maybe dice poppers?*): one on the table and one in the hands of Joey (second guy from the left).
* There seems to be two different kind of cards involved - in red and blue colors.
* The box features a cartoonish drawing of a woman and a man and the dominant color seems purple.
* The game seems to support 5 players - but considering it's a tv show, this might not hold true. I recon yellow, red and blue figures on the board, and it seems that there are two from each color.

It is [Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus](https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3515/men-are-mars-women-are-venus). You can recognise the loopy indigo board, the characters on the box, and the red/green card box in this image from the BoardGameGeek page:
