Growing up, our family game nights consisted of Scrabble, Monopoly, Scattergories, and Yahtzee. I still love these games, but if you are hoping your kids will willingly put down the electronics and join in a family game night,  you might need to try something new.

These party games are great for the older kids in your family!

 

Just One
Ages: 8 and up
Players: 3 to 7 players

Bonding, laughter, and fun are assured!  One of the players draws a card without looking at it and randomly chooses a number from 1 to 5. Other players secretly write a one-word clue about the corresponding word. Compare clues and cancel any identical words. Show the remaining clues to the player so that they can guess the Mystery Word!

Winner of the 2019 Game of the Year!

Pit
Ages: 7 and up
Players: 3 to 8 playersPit Card Game is a hilariously frenzied game of commodities that’s sure to provide hours of fun and laughter. Shout your deal and trade your cards to “corner” the market; be the first to get all the cards of one product, ring the bell and win the hand. (note packaging and appearance may vary, there are multiple versions of this game).

What Do You Meme?
Ages: 17+
Players: 3 to 20+ playersFind out who will be crowned Meme Queen/King by competing with friends (or family if you’re brave) to match photo cards with caption cards, creating your own outrageously funny meme combinations. It’s the perfect excuse to call up the crew, and get everyone together for guaranteed laughs.

The original game contains adult content and may not be suitable for all families. Try the Family Edition, great for kids ages 8 and up.

Joking Hazard
Ages: 17+
Players: 3 to 10  playersThis is also adults only, for families that are willing to risk it! Compete to build funny and terrible comics about friendship, violence, sex, and everything in between. 360 panel cards (including 10 add-your-own-words cards) combine to form millions of awful situations, and sometimes nice ones. From the minds of Cyanide & Happiness, the hit webcomic.
