The best game for kibitzing is anagrams. The way we played in college (all the tiles of a Scrabble set face down and turned over one by one), a kibitzer calling out a word was automatically in the game and so didn't disrupt anything.

Of Yiddish origin, I believe, and it often comes up during chess matches.

Generally this refers to chess matches, but I remember in Scorched Earth, there was a "No Kibitzing!" dialog that would appear when you pressed K. Great for when a whole mass of people are hovering about and offering unsolicited advice.
