Unique and Unconventional Card Games That Break the Mold
Card games provide an enjoyable diversion from life’s challenges and help people develop patience, control and observational abilities.
Card games have the power to strengthen relationships and ease feuds. From romantic evenings with your significant other to distracting yourself during painful dental procedures, playing cards could be just what’s necessary.
Never Have I Ever
Since Cards Against Humanity’s success, numerous card games have hit the market. There is now an abundance of NSFW ones as well as those which encourage creativity or help reveal more about yourself to friends. There are even sets designed specifically to inspire or build your brand.
Never Have I Ever is an entertaining card game where players each receive 10 Play Cards and a pile of Rule Cards, with one starting player picking out and reading aloud one Rule Card before asking everyone whether or not they remember doing whatever’s written on it. The first person with 10 blue cards in front of them wins the game!
Fill-in-the-blank party games are simple. A rotating judge reads out a prompt, and those who hold cards matching it must answer by providing something they have done to answer it. If their answer is inappropriate, that person must drink instead.
Utter Nonsense Naughty Edition
Utter Nonsense Naughty Edition could be just what you’re looking for if you want an NSFW (naughty as hell) card game! As its name implies, this hilarious card game allows players to use silly voices and accents in creating crazy sayings; making for an exciting game that even those less skilled at impersonations or impressions can enjoy!
Each player receives a card prompt and then reads their phrase with their chosen accent to impress a judge, who then chooses their favorite performance and awards points or something for it. This game can be enjoyed by up to 10 adults at a time with its total of 58 Red Setup cards and 400 White Phrase Cards included in its playing deck.
The Game of Secrets
This fast-paced card game will get your friends and family talking! Each player draws a card, with the winner determined by guessing correctly about its topic – such as celebrities, food or anything found on social media! Various categories provide variety to keep the questions fresh.
If you enjoy conspiracy theories and paranoia, this game is for you. Players act as agents trying to uncover various conspiracy theories; to do this successfully requires both careful observation and deception skills – two skills accentuated by its lovely pixel art graphics and packaging inspired by the NES era packaging.
The Game of Lies
There are few cards games that can match this one for its level of deceit and cunning, yet this one offers it all in spades. Each card contains a completely true surprise fact which is highlighted, while active players must decide whether to lie by reading out loud their card out loud and changing its highlighted section accordingly.
If players suspect another of lying, they can challenge them by calling out the name of the game and raising an objection if necessary. If their challenger turns out to be correct, all cards that have been played must be collected up.
With categories including liars and lies about how many spaces you move, and an exciting “winner takes all” endgame, this party game makes for a thrillingly engaging game session! Includes 150 double-sided mystery item cards, 9 numbered mystery boxes, cardboard player divider, Truth tile, Lie tile, 4 Question tokens, and instructions.
