Ahead, we’ve rounded up 11 of the best adult card games, ranging from sightly odd to downright outrageous, that are absolutely worth investing in. Happy playing! 

Incohearent Card Game, $29

Remember that fun Instagram filter from a year or two ago where you’d record yourself guessing what a bunch of mixed-up words sounded like?!

This one’s fun no matter how small or large the group is (especially when there are bevvies involved).

Exploding Kittens, $29.50

Described as Russian roulette but with kittens, Exploding Kittens card game is a 2-5 player game where you take turns drawing cards until someone draws an Exploding Kitten.

If you really wanted to spice things up, you could also add in some kind of boozy consequences…
