1. Cards Against Humanity
Prepare to laugh until your sides hurt. Cards Against
Humanity is a party game where players fill in the blanks to complete
sentences. The cards are filled with raunchy, politically incorrect, and just
plain wrong phrases, so it’s definitely not for the easily offended.
Players take turns acting as judge, and the person with
the funniest and most outrageous phrase wins the round. Trust us, the answers
can get pretty wild.
2. That’s What She Said
In this hilarious game, you’ll use your wit to complete
fill-in-the-blank phrases with the funniest card in your hand. The game
includes 458 cards that are full of innuendos and double entendres, and it’s up
to you to decide which card is the funniest to fill in the blank. The player
with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
3. The Voting Game
If you're looking for a game that will have you talking
and laughing for hours, The Voting Game is it! In this game, players take turns
being the "question master" and asking questions about the other
players in the game.
For example, the question master might ask, "Who
would be the most likely to get kicked out of a bar?" Players then vote
for the person they think fits the question best.
You get points for guessing correctly, and the first
person to reach a certain number of points wins. This game is hilarious and
will have you and your friends revealing things about yourselves that you never
thought you would!
4. The Game of Things
This game is like a more PG version of Cards Against
Humanity, but instead of filling in the blanks, players have to come up with
their own responses to a prompt.
The prompt could be something like "things you
wouldn't want to find in your sandwich," and then players have to write
down their answers.
The goal of the game is to try and guess who said what.
It's a great way to get to know your friends even better, and the more creative
your answers, the better!
5. What Do You Meme?
A millennial's dream come true, What Do You Meme? is a
hilarious game that's perfect for a night in with friends. One player draws a
photo card, and the other players choose from their hand of caption cards to
create the funniest meme. The player who drew the photo card chooses the
winner, and that person takes home the photo card as a point.
This game is all about making your friends laugh, so
it's sure to bring on the fun! Plus, there are several expansion packs
available, so you can switch up the photo and caption cards to keep the game
fresh.
6. Telestrations After Dark
This is the adult version of the classic game,
Telestrations. You don't need to be an artist to play, and you don't need to be
a good one to win, either. That's what makes this game so much fun.
You'll start by writing down a word or phrase, and then
you'll pass your notebook to the person next to you. Then, you'll draw what you
wrote down. The next person will then write down what they think you drew, and
so on. You'll continue to pass the notebooks around until they make it back to
their original owner.
The results are hilarious, and you'll get a good laugh
out of how things get mixed up along the way. The After Dark version is
recommended for ages 17 and up, and it's a little more on the risqué side.
7. Relative Insanity
Comedian Jeff Foxworthy is the mastermind behind this hilarious game. One player picks a card that features a set-up to a joke and fills in the blank with a seemingly innocent phrase. The other players choose the best punchline card from their hand to complete the joke.The player who chose the punchline that makes the
set-up the funniest wins the round. Jeff Foxworthy himself even appears on the
cards to read the jokes, adding a fun touch to the game.
8. Joking Hazard
This party game is brought to you by the creators of
the popular web comic, Cyanide & Happiness (so you know it's going to be
good!).
In this game, friends compete to build the funniest
comic strip. With 360 panel cards (including 10 add-your-own-words cards),
there are endless combinations to create. The judge decides which card is the
funniest and the person who played it gets a point. The first person to earn
three points wins!
9. Drunk, Stoned or Stupid
This is a hilariously daring adult party game that plunges players into uproarious debates and uproarious moments as they confront a series of provocative scenarios and daring accusations. With each turn, players must assess their friends' personalities and past antics, determining who among them is most likely to embody the outrageous behaviors depicted on the cards.Whether it's recounting wild nights out, daring escapades, or questionable decisions, this game tests friendships and uncovers the true depths of each player's character, all in the spirit of uproarious fun and friendly rivalry.
10. Drawing Without Dignity
If you're a fan of Pictionary, you'll love Drawing
Without Dignity. This game takes the classic drawing game and turns up the heat
with a few adult twists.
Players take turns drawing cards with wacky prompts on
them and then have to draw the prompt while the other players try to guess what
it is. The prompts are definitely more adult in nature, so this game is best
for your 21+ game nights.
