12 Awesome Adult Card Games for Hours of Fun!

Cards Against Humanity is one of the top names in the adult card games world.

This means you’ll need the original CAH pack to enjoy the Green Box, but it’s definitely worth the investment.

For the uninitiated, Cards Against Humanity lets players make their own hilarious sentences with some of the most random words and phrases you could ever imagine. You’ll get 245 white cards in total, plus 55 black ones.

Perfect for both big-scale parties with plenty of players and smaller nights-in with a few close friends, Cards Against Humanity is easily one of the most enjoyable adult card games of all and the CAH: Green Box expansion will have you rolling on the floor with laughter.

A great option for families, Trick Question is very different to something like Cards Against Humanity, so if you’re looking for a more of a PG-rated adult card game, this could be the one for you. As the name suggests, Trick Question involves hundreds of questions that seem simple at first, but actually have tricky hidden meanings and answers that aren’t so easy to figure out right away.

A professional team of board game makers came together to create Trick Question and did a fantastic job. You’ll get 400 questions on 100 cards in the box, plus totems, tokens to keep track of the score, and a timer.

This game is nicely-suited for families, but the difficulty of the questions can be quite problematic, so Trick Question is best-enjoyed with a large number of players and lots of minds working together.

With so many cards to choose from, there’s almost an infinite array of possible combinations, so Joking Hazard definitely has a very strong ‘replay factor’.

A very intriguing game that will help you get to know your friends a lot better, but can also cause a couple of hilarious arguments along the way, The Voting Game is one of the most popular adult card games to have been released in recent years.

In the box, you’ll get 160 cards. Each card has a question, ranging from something like “Who would survive a zombie apocalypse?” to “Who isn’t wearing any underwear right now?” As each card is revealed, players vote on who they think best matches up with the question.

Lots of fun with large numbers of players, The Voting Game is very simple on the outside but can trigger some hilarious and hugely entertaining debates and discussions among the players. No two rounds of The Voting Game are ever quite the same, especially if you add new players each time.

Do you know someone who loves to shout out the answers when watching game shows on TV or gets impatient when playing regular board or card games? If so, Smart Ass might be the perfect game to play. This game actually lets players shout out the answers when they know them.

The idea is simple. You’ll get over 400 question cards in the box. Each card has a list of clues that are read out in turn. As soon as any player knows the answer, they can yell it out. The fast-paced nature of this game makes it very exciting, and the questions are all challenging but never too tricky.

Smart Ass is a good option for people who want to test their intellect against their pals. The cute and colorful design of the game pieces, board, and question cards is a nice touch too.

A simple game, but a fun one, Circle Of Jerks is our ‘Budget Pick’ for this list of the best adult board and card games due to its low price and excellent value rating. Taking the concept of a simple match game and making it R-rated, Circle Of Jerks can leave you and your friends in fits of laughter.

The premise of this game is simple. You and a small group of friends are given a set of cards and the objective is to try and get rid of them as quickly as possible by matching symbols on your cards with cards that have already been played.

The only catch is that the symbols are all rude and you have to yell out what they are as you play each card. The rounds go by super quickly and some groups of friends even take their game to the next level by playing Circle Of Jerks in a public place.

Why is it special?

• Very fast rounds
• Great value
• Easy to get the hang of

What are the flaws?

• Quite simple and repetitive

Pick Your Poison is a fun game from the makers of The Voting Game. In this adult card game, you’ll get to decide from an almost limitless number of ‘Would You Rather’ scenarios, with each scenario created by combining two of the 300+ cards in the box.

The player who gets elected as the ‘judge’ is able to make the scenarios, and then the players have to decide which option they’d choose. If they all agree, they win the round. If they disagree, they lose the round. This means that playing in a big group can actually make it quite tricky to win.

In general, however, playing Pick Your Poison is a lot of fun. There are so many different card combos you can come up with, and the situations always trigger lots of debates and discussions among the players.

What makes it special?

• Lots of cards and options
• Fun debates and discussions guaranteed

What cons did we find?

• Hard to win with big groups

Definitely one of the funniest adult card games you can buy today, Relative Insanity was actually designed by comedian Jeff Foxworthy and has been featured on several major TV shows like The Tonight Show and Rachael Ray Show.

The premise of this card game is very similar to something like Cards Against Humanity. Players will be presented with a card with a blank space to fill in and then have to use their own cards to fill the blank. If you’ve already played CAH and similar games, Relative Insanity might seem a bit samey.

However, the excellent writing provided by Jeff Foxworthy and the huge number of cards contained in the base game, plus the option to invest in an expansion pack, really help to make Relative Insanity a fun time for all. Whether you play with family or friends, you’ll have lots of laughs with this one.

What makes it special?

• Very funny
• Lots of cards

What cons did we find?

• Very similar to CAH

You only have to look at the box and read the name of That’s What She Said to get an idea of the sort of game you’re getting into with this one. A very naughty game with a lot of outrageous phrases and ideas, That’s What She Said plays just like Cards Against Humanity but with a big focus on sexual content and innuendo.

The outrageous nature of the phrases and set-ups used in this game might actually be too much for some players, and it’s certainly not the sort of game you’ll want to play with your parents.

However, the cards are well-written and the huge number of cards gives this game a lot of replay value. Players will definitely be laughing a lot during a typical round, so it’s a fun option to enjoy at parties.

Why did it make our list?

• Very funny and naughty
• Lots of fun at parties

What is not ideal about it?

Many years ago, we had perfectly innocent games like Charades to entertain us in the evenings. Freedom Of Speech takes that classic idea and brings it into the 21st century, with lots of hilarious and ridiculous ideas and phrases for players to try and convey.

The idea of Freedom Of Speech is that you have to get your team to guess the word or phrase on your card without actually saying that word. Plus, you have a timer ticking down, so you and your teammates need to act fast. Naturally, this makes for a lot of fun situations where players are trying to convey an idea in increasingly creative and frantic ways.

There are 400 cards in the base box, so you get a lot of replay value out of Freedom Of Speech. The only downside is that some cards are a little vague and obscure, so players won’t always know what the cards are actually referring to.

Why did it make our list?

• Lots of cards
• Plenty of replay value

What is not ideal about it?

• Some of the cards are quite obscure
