Known only to each other, the fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader. The liberals must find and stop the Secret Hitler before it’s too late.
The Voting Game begins when the first question card is revealed. Like “Who would survive the longest in a zombie apocalypse?” Players then vote anonymously for the player best described by the question. Results are tallied and revealed to the group – laughter is guaranteed! Each player guesses who voted for them. Players get one guess for every vote they receive. If they guess correctly, the truth is revealed.
That’s What She Said is the hilarious party game of twisted innuendos and raucous gameplay where sidesplitting laughter and sip-spitting cocktails are the norms. You may wet your pants. This outrageous party in a box has players matching hilarious red setup cards to the funniest white phrase cards. The game is designed for four or more adults and includes 400 white phrase cards and 58 red setup cards. It’s a great group game because you can have unlimited players.
There’s no voting, judging, or waiting for people to play cards in this drawing game. Instead, you draw questionable pictures, watch your friends seduce inappropriate images, try to guess what those naughty drawings are supposed to represent, and race to steal points. Artistic skills are not required and probably won’t help since no one draws well in a rushed 60 seconds. But, like the oldie but goodie, Pictionary, this game is excellent for a fun group.
Bad People is a hilarious and brutal voting game! Share crazy and ridiculous stories after each round. You’ll get the Bad People original card game plus the NSFW complex expansion pack for the ultimate party game experience. Save when you buy the set! 370 Hilarious cards. The most savage party game ever.
This is an oldie but goodie! Players race against the timer to give creative and carefully worded clues to get team players to guess words fast. But don’t mention unmentionables, or it’s time for the squeaker, which means losing the point. Players can also play using the Game-changer die to mix things up. Players must be intelligent, quick-thinking, and willing to take some risks – but don’t get shut down by the squeaker!
Do you know a little about a lot? Then, put your mind to the test with wit’s end. This trivia game will not just test your knowledge but engage how you think through solving a problem. Answer questions in four mind-challenging categories as you work to the center of the board.
The exciting game of strategy! Play a card from your hand and place a chip on a corresponding space on the game board. When you have five in a row, it’s a Sequence. Score the required number of five-card sequences before your opponent wins. Players of multiple ages can enjoy the series since it’s easy enough for kids and challenging for adults.
It’s time to grab the “bull” by the horns and hope other players don’t call your bluff! Balderdash game features interesting, unbelievably actual content and categories about people, words, initials, and movies. Points are earned by fooling other players into believing your bluff and choosing the honest answer. You will laugh out loud as you hear the hilarious, clever, creative definitions!

Munchkin is the mega-hit card game about dungeon adventure with none of that stupid roleplaying stuff. Instead, you and your friends compete to kill monsters and grab magic items. Start by slaughtering the Potted Plant and the Drooling Slime, and work your way up to the Plutonium Dragon, and John Kovalic illustrates it. Fast-playing and silly, Munchkin can reduce any roleplaying group to hysteria. And, while they’re laughing, you can steal their stuff.
This laugh-out-loud party game uses bits of comedian Jeff Foxworthy’s material that mix and match to create wacky situations that families and friends will love! One player reads a setup card, like ‘While walking past my sister’s bedroom, I heard her say…’, and then other players choose a punch line card to fill in the blank, hoping the reader will pick theirs as the best.
Get three or more of your silly friends together with those you have incriminating stories about. New friends will work, too. Decide who in the group should be tagged with the card and why. The judge makes the final call on who gets tagged with the card. The first person to seven cards loses. There are no winners in this game, only losers.
Conspiracy Theory Trivia Game is designed to test players’ knowledge of hundreds of Internet conspiracies. There are five categories of conspiracies: myths (mythical places and creatures), Aliens (ancient and modern), Technologies, Schemes (governments and secret organizations), and Random (everything else). It would be best to correctly answer trivia questions to collect matching cards to win. But beware of government cover-ups that could take some or all of your collection.
The players ask each other questions to determine who a player and a spy are. The players aim to give enough information to ward off suspicion but not enough for the spy to figure out the location. As the spy, your job is to figure out the site or to remain hidden through the questioning. You win if you can guess the site or if no one can guess you are the spy.
A drinking game that will turn your next party into a hilarious night to remember or forget. Compete, vote, and screw your friends over. Each fast-paced round ends with a CoolCat (winner) and AssHat (loser) drawing an action card that will have your group hurting from laughter.
Joking Hazard is an offensive card game where you compete to finish awful comics! It’s a game that involves creative storytelling and feeling bad about yourself. Cyanide & Happiness’s damaged minds created it, so don’t let grandma play unless you want her to die of a broken heart.
Stitch together a Handsome Salmon armed with knives and burritos or a Pomeranian of Light and Wonder in business attire who can run at the speed of light. Give your creation limbs, weapons, and unique hats to help prepare them for the inevitable infant onslaught. In this highly strategic party game, outbuild the babies and other players to win!
Exploding Kittens is a card game for people who are into kittens, explosions, laser beams, and sometimes goats. In this highly strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette, players draw cards until someone draws an Exploding Kitten. At this point, they explode, are dead, and are out of the game — unless that player has a Defuse card, which can defuse the Kitten using things like laser pointers, belly rubs, and catnip sandwiches.
Pick Your Poison is an adult card game of unfathomable “Would You Rather..?” scenarios. Three or more players compete to create the most challenging plan possible by combining two Poison cards (350 included). Everyone anonymously “Picks their poison” – After the reveal, find out who was “right” and who is just as messed up as you thought.
Can you tell the truth from lies? In this twisted take on the original game, you’ll have to find the truth…rather than the lie. It’s more complicated than you think. And that’s a fact. Or an alternative reality. Or both. From history to humor, politics to performers. No lies are too big. No truths are too fundamental. It’s the perfect game for the post-fact world.
