‘Cards Against Humanity’ description:

Cards Against Humanity is always our go-to game! Well-made, simple to play, very enjoyable & competitive as well. No matter the number of players, or the relations between all of you, CAH is always a friend. If you’re getting bored of the main game, you have tons of other choices, in other words, editions and themed packs.

‘Mysterium’ description:

As we promised, here we begin with board games! Mysterium is a cooperative board game, which is pretty much like solving a mystery. You’ll learn about the crime, get hints, and try to get to the bottom of it. There will be the ghost, or we may call it, the victim, and the rest of the group are the psychics. It’s up to the latter to work together and determine the killer. Concentrate, connect the pieces, and guess the actual murder.

There are question cards to question all your life choices and talk about things you’ve done, and some rules cards to add the fun.

‘Secret Hitler’ description:

Who would’ve thought that something that contains Hitler’s name could bring the fun? It feels like this game is happening in 1930s Germany, with all the political situations. No matter how many players you are, you should be divided into 2 teams: liberals and fascists. Also, in the game, you’ll get to choose one President and Chancellor for each round, so, they’d enact the laws. What do both teams do? Well, liberals try to stop the Secret Hitler, while fascists create chaos!

‘A Game Of Thrones’ description:

Did you know that GoT has an average viewer count of 44.2 million? Chances are low that a card game related to something this famous will be bad, right? In this board game, it feels like being a character in the book or playing in the GoT series. You’ll fight, take control of one of the Westeros’ Great Houses, do your best to be dominant, and more. Since King Robert Baratheon’s death, things aren’t quite the same, are they?  Claim the most castles, and be the winner!

7. Over The Line

Buy it on Amazon ($24.95) or Walmart($24.95);

‘Over The Line’ description:

So, you thought there won’t be drawing card games mentioned? Over the line? Yes, the cards may go over the line sometimes, let me tell you! Since you’re 6 or more people, it’s better to play in teams… One of the team members should read the phrases in the cards, and either draw or act that out, as easily as possible, so the other members can guess. Definitely not for kids, or over-sensitive adults as well… Concentrate and guess the word! 

8. Hot Seat

Buy it on Amazon ($18.29) or Target($18.29);

Well, Hot Seat is a ‘who-knows-me-best’ card game, where there will be lots of laughs and surprises… All of you, take turns, sit on the hot seat, and draw 3 cards. Out of these 3, you select 1 and read it out loud, so the other players can answer. After everyone writes down their answers, the player on the hot seat picks the correct one. Pretty simple, pretty enjoyable, and it’s your chance to finally understand who knows you best! It is a very hot seat though, don’t be shy answering! 

9. Drunk, Stoned Or Stupid

Buy it on Amazon ($17.99) or Walmart($17.99);

‘Drunk, Stoned Or Stupid’ description:

You’re either drunk, stoned, or stupid, there’s no other way! Similar to Never Have I Ever, this card game makes you tell stories about your life, even if they may sound corny… Let me put it this way: it actually makes your friends guess about things you’ve done… For every statement in each card, all of you should tag someone, even if you have no idea, you simply guess. The player who gets tagged the most keeps that card. Don’t try to collect many cards. Whoever has 7 cards, loses 🙁

10. Oh, Fruck!

Buy it on Amazon ($15.99) or Walmart($25.62);

Contains: Over 100 cards | Ages: 12+ | Max. number of players: 6

It’s not what you thought it said, it’s fruck, only fruck! Finally, a card game that looks like a classic, standard one, but interweaves many special rules inside, which make it way cooler. You’ll have to deal cards to all your people, draw the special cards, such as Join The Club, All Rise The King, Secret Society, and more, then read what they require and so on. Make sure you discard all your cards & win the game. Ps. pay attention to the game, you may get frucked!

We’ve mentioned Codenames several times while making our articles, and we don’t think we’ll ever stop! It is one of the most famous board games, entertaining for the whole family. Usually, people play this board game in two teams, and this is how the game was meant to be played. Each team has its own agents and spymasters. By using all the hints, the help of masters, and some strategy, both teams compete to make contact with all their 25 agents first. Spying? Did we just become the junior CIA?

This game is played in 3 ages, or parts called Ages.

Just to be clear, no one is going to be the zombie, they’re controlled by the game, followed by some simple instructions. It’ll be great fun finding the weapons, and of course, battling the zombies, then killing them. Humans are powerful, aren’t they?

Just by reading what’s written on the cards, you know what you have to draw, and how to draw it. Each team has its artist for each round, which will draw for the whole team to guess. You can only share the category, which is written on top of the card, but not what you’ll draw, because, where would be the point? Anyways, read, draw unashamedly, and guess. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

Each player should have their 6 picture cards, which will be used to create the imaginative story. Without showing the chosen card, but only giving a clue for it, the other players should also add a card that matches your clue. You’ll also need the tokens, the voting tokens after the cards are shuffled and all that, to guess who played what card. Be creative, think about the clues, play cards and be the storyteller!
