Can you back that statement up?

Not quite 8, but 7 player Caverna plays surprisingly smooth.

But in general, other than social deduction games, party games are good with 8 or more. Code Names is great with 8. Time's Up can be a lot of fun if you're into that sort of thing.

Not so. Games which allow simultaneous action by multiple players are another obvious category that scales well to high player counts. Especially drafting games. Things like Sushi Go Party! or even the classic Pit.

Edit: just asked BoardGameGeek to list games in my collection which take 8 players. So, non-social-deduction games I reckon play fine with 8 include: 6-nimmt!, Apples to Apples, Articulate!, Boggle, Ca$h 'n Guns, Cards Against Humanity, Codenames, Joking Hazard, Penultima, Pit, Sushi Go Party!

I've created Diplomacy maps for eight players.

Your mistake here was implying that Apples to Apples plays fine with any number of people, or that it is a game.
