Are you done going out, having to be extra careful because of the blaring obvious nature of things around? Well, how about a fun game night with your friends, a couple of board games, some bonding time, and getting to know each other some more. Here is a list of 20 board games and card games that you can take your pick from!
1. Cards Against Humanity
Amazon
Mostly a game for horrible people (just kidding), the idea of each round is – one player asks a question from a black card, and everyone else answers with the funniest white card that they’re dealt with. The funniest answer of ’em all is the winner of the round. Some of these question-answer combinations are pretty hilarious, if we may.
Customer Review:
“This is one hilariously fun, adult-themed card game that will generate tons of laughs and will be your go-to party game for your future endeavors. It’s moderately priced at around $25 via Prime, but the price of admission was totally worth it for me and my friends.”
2. Watch Ya’ Mouth Ultimate Edition
Amazon
Yet another interesting game that involves 3-10 players that wear a mouth guard and speak out phrases while teammates have to guess what they are saying. This fun game includes 10 mouthpieces, sand timer as well 210 family-safe phrases if you’re playing with your folks. A good addition to your game night for sure.
Customer Review:
“Great game that I’m enjoying with my friends and family. Cards and mouthpieces are good quality. Lots of reviews had issues with counterfeit product so I recommend making sure your seller is Amazon or Watch Ya’ Mouth. I got the redneck version which has some funny phrases on top of just the standard version which is mostly just family friendly phrases. Planning on ordering the adult version for parties.”
3. Betrayal at House on the Hill
Amazon
One of the coolest games around is this board game where you gotta build your OWN haunted mansion, that’s right, and then try to escape it! How cool is that for game night?
Customer Review:
“Betrayal is one of my top favorite board games that I’m constantly trying to get my friends to play. It’s a fun, challenging game that’s really enjoyable with the right group of people. It’s an exploration/board building game with an eerie theme about it and a really unique mechanic.”
4. Secret Hitler
Amazon
Secret Hitler is yet another fast-paced game of deception and betrayal. It has hidden roles and secret envelopes and can be played between 5-10 players. The players are secretly divided into two teams – liberals and fascists. The fascists must coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader, while the liberals must find and stop the Secret Hitler before it’s too late. One heck of a game if you love your history.
Customer Review:
“Such a fun game where you get to lie to friends and family. Played with girlfriends family and it was a great ice breaker even though her Dad killed me. To be fair, I was a fascist.”
5. What Do You Meme? The Hilarious Adult Party Game for Meme Lovers
Amazon
Are you a meme-lover and usually the first to forward the most trending one in your group? Well then this game might be a good start to kick-off game night. It’s a fun group game that tests your knowledge about memes. Yup, you got that right.
Customer Review:
“I’ve been hearing a lot about this game recently so I figured I’d join in. I bought this game for my mom because she loves to hold Game Night parties. I must say it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. It definitely makes for a good laugh. It was a huge hit at her last Game Night. I highly recommend this.”
6. Sequence
Amazon
This is a fun and fast-moving game. All you gotta do is play a card from your hand and place a chip on a corresponding space on the Sequence game board – when you have five in a row, it’s a SEQUENCE. But wait, there’s a challenge. How about you buy it, and find out!
Customer Review:
“We love to play games as a family. There are four of us that usually play: my husband and I, our 9 year old daughter, and my 83 year old mom. We enjoy playing both board and card games and Sequence is a great combination of both!”
7. …I should have known that! Trivia Game
Amazon
Think you have what it takes to be the trivia master or mistress? Then get this trivia game and prove your skills. Have a friendly match with your friends. Up the stakes with a bet and have a fun game night!
Customer Review:
“We played the game by only reading the cards and first shout out correct winner got a point – the players were 27 – 87 years old – people enjoyed the wide range of topics and it started a few discussions along the way. Would buy again if they create a new edition. Great Game!”
8. That’s What She Said – The Twisted Party Game
Amazon
This one’s literally like an outrageous party in a box. It is just perfect for your next get-together or game night. This game can be as twisted as your mind wants it to be. All the cards are designed to work together to maximize the hilarity and minimize those awkward moments.
Customer Review:
“One of my favorite games! This expansion pack has 30 red cards and 70 white cards. Wouldn’t go well to play just the expansion pack so definitely make sure you have the original game. The original itself can be played over many times and still be fun and different since each turn brings a new phrase match (hopefully that makes sense) and adding the expansion pack of course adds more.”
9. Scrabble Game
Amazon
One of the more popular board games around, this one’s versatility when it comes to different age groups stands strong. You can have a great time and see whose vocabulary is above it all. You can play one-on-one or in a group of four. Scrabble is a board game that’ll never grow old.
Customer Review:
“This is exactly what it says it is. There isn’t a good description on the Amazon page, so here:
1. The board is fairly sturdy. It’s a thick one, not just cheap like I guessed when looking at the box.
2. All 4 tile racks are made of unfinished pine and feel like they need to be sanded once more.
3. All 100 tiles were present in their correct amounts per letter. The tiles are made of smooth and finished wood.
4. Mine came with a cloth tile bag and a game guide.
This isn’t an expensive version of Scrabble, but if you don’t mind playing with wooden pieces instead of the old heavy plastic, it’s great. Definitely worth what you pay for it.”
10. Catan
Amazon
Catan is an incredibly popular, multi-award-winning civilization-building board game of trading resources and harvesting. It is a game that requires strategy. In this game, the players look to spread across the hex board for victory points. Catan can be played between 3 to 4 players and an average game can last about 60 minutes.
Customer Review:
“Beware! Don’t try this unless you plan on getting addicted. Your life will forever be altered. You’ll find yourself begging strangers to come over to play. Watching youtube videos to improve your game, bribing your children.
Your spouse will become a tricky, sneaky person you hardly recognize. While you will plot ways to take over.
Side effects include: less tv watching, more under the table kicking, spontaneous manical laughter, snacking while plotting the demise of your friends and family. Best fun you’ve had in hours!”
11. Monopoly
Amazon
An absolute classic and a crowd-favorite, Monopoly is a game that is loved by all age groups. Of course, because of its competitive nature, friends can tend to get into some pretty serious fights, lol. But at the end of the day, all’s fair in love and game nights.
Customer Review:
“Great game, no problems, all the pieces, cards, & money are here, no problem with the print on the board as I saw someone commenting on the print. Somethings have changed in this game since the ’80’s, Meditation & Baltic Avenue were dark purple now are brown, the only original tokens are the hat, dog, racecar, & battle ship with the new pieces, a duckie, a T-Rex, a penguin, & a cat.”
12. BAD PEOPLE – The Party Game You Probably Shouldn’t Play + The NSFW Expansion Pack

“I LOVE THIS GAME! Just when you think you know your friends, you realize you don’t. I bought this game because I played it at a friend’s house. I jumped right in and realized what all my friends thought of me and it was HILARIOUS. Half the fun is playing the game and the other half are the stories that come about from playing the game. I was laughing the entire time.”

“This game was a lot of fun. I survived al of about 15 of these cards and was toast. Fun little challenges and rapid fire questions that are impossible to answer after a couple or more drinks. Fun times with friends will be had. Just make sure there are enough couches, blankets, Ubers or designated drivers to get the losers home.”
14. Yahtzee
Amazon
This game’s based o your luck and rolls of dice. Wanna have a fun time, share a few laughs, and just bond with your friends? Yahtzee is the way to go!
Customer Review:
“I realized this classic game was missing from my family’s collection. After buying it thinking it would be good for family game nights, my father (who I hadn’t realized had never played before) quickly discovered it and caught on very fast. 3 hours later I quickly realized this brings out our competitive side and neither of us was willing to let the other win. Round after round after round we quickly became big fans of this classic all over again! I’ve created a monster because now as soon as my dad comes over his first words are “do you want to play Yahtzee?”

It was a hit with all the adults and kids! (Family friendly version) The game is very easy to play (especially when the adults had one too many to drink (not the kids!)”
16. WTF Did You Say A Party Game Against All Dignity and Morality Full Game

This one’s surely not for the weak-hearted, yeah? You might want to get your guards up when you play this party card game. Good luck.
Customer Review:
“Great game!! Played for a couples game night and it was a hit! Directions are simple. There are red and white cards. Each player gets 10 white cards, 1 player gets a red card from the pile and reads it outloud. The rest of the players submit their funniest white card and then the player who read the red card chooses which white card was best. The player then wins the red card if theirs in fact was the funniest. Then tan other player picks a red card and repeats. After the amount of rounds of your choice whoever has the most red cards wins the game.”

“Wife and I were in BnB and we found a Taboo game in a closet. We said what the heck and played it. Taboo game + lots of alcohol = FUN! That was 10-ish years ago. I saw this game on Amazon and we had to get it. This new one is updated so is more relevant. “

Yep, you gotta draw in this one. Although this ain’t like your normal plain Jane Pictionary. This game pits you and your disturbed friends against each other to draw and guess highly inappropriate clues. Well, you have been fairly warned.
Customer Review:
“OH MY GOD! We played with friends for HOURS of non-stop laughs. But… be warned, don’t play this with prudish friends. They won’t handle the direct adult topics. It was hilarious to discover that the sweetest woman in the room guessed the raunchiest drawings. And the most experienced didn’t know it all.”
