Confab: a conversation-based blank-card game
To play Confab, you: "Get a load of blank cards; at least ten per person. Everyone then scribbles arbitrary conversational sentences ('Hello.' 'How are you?' 'Yes.' 'No.' 'You're very tall.') onto the cards, until they're all covered. Shuffle them all together, deal five to each person and leave a face-down draw pile."
And then, basically: "Taking turns, players must either play a card from their hand that follows conversationally from the previous card (or opens the conversation, if they're the first to play), or - if they can't go - draw a new card from the draw pile."
If that's not clear enough to result in mutual merriment, you'll find everything you need to know on the aforementioned webpage.
