Use this to energise a party that has reached a conversational plateau. Suggesting a game shifts the group dynamic and creates shared fun. Italian party games are often language-based, story-telling, or drawing games.
'Facciamo' used for suggestions — 'let's do something'. 'Avete proposte?' (do you have suggestions?) invites the group to contribute ideas. 'Gioco' (game) is versatile — it can mean a card game, a party game, or a competitive activity.
