How to Pick Your Adult Card Game

There are lots (and we mean lots) of adult card games out there. Most aren’t that great, but a few hilarious and fun games really stand out. How do you pick them? Well, this buying guide will show you the best ones, but there are a few things to keep your eye on when you make your purchase. That includes how many people you want to play with, what age is appropriate, and if they are bulky or meant to be taken with you when traveling. Pretty simple stuff, so let’s get right into it.

Number of Players: Each of these fun games can be played with multiple people, but take a look at this spec if you have a larger group. Play with your friends, family, co-workers, or total strangers - the more, the merrier. Either way, these card games are fantastic ice-breakers to use at parties or any other occasion.

Number of Cards: Most people do not care about this, but for some, it makes a difference: The number of cards for each game varies depending on the complexity and design of the gameplay. If you are in the camp of people who do not mind having fewer or more cards and simply want to have fun, you can skip this.

Recommended Age: All of the games featured here are meant for adults, so why is there a recommended age? Well, that is up to the manufacturer – we are simply the messenger here and wanted to include it for your convenience. Keep an eye on this if you plan to play with the entire family or plan to give these as a gift.
