Party games sure have evolved since way back when, haven’t they. Even back when our parents entertained their bosses, old friends, and the neighborhood, they preferred the (mostly) wholesomeness of Pictionary, Charades, and perhaps one of the many, many games possible with playing cards, although we’re sure they never touched Presidents. These games are old hat (almost as old hat as that phrase), and now card game creators have ushered in a new generation of offensive (in the best way), crass (in the best way), and generally disgraceful (in the best way) games that rely on just how depraved everyone can be. Who says we’re devolving as a species? If you’re planning a proper adult party complete with all the cursing, sickening shouts, and distasteful nonsense, then check out our list of the best adult card games. For our younger readers, we shouldn’t need to say that these are recommended for ages 18 and above, but if you think the kids are mature enough, we won’t tell anybody, wink wink.
The Best Adult Card Game

Cards Against Humanity Adult Card Game
The grand daddy of adult card games, Against Humanity is probably the one that you all associate with every boozy, night that got out of hand, and even after it’s ten or so years of being brought out at every college party, every bar, and shocking unwitting grandparents over Christmas, it’s still the go-to adult card game for anyone who loves to embrace their inner bastard.
Really, it needs no introduction, but if you’re one of just four people across the world who’ve never played it before, the rules are simple. One person picks a black card, typically the start of a sentence, and the rest of the players fill in the blanks in the most awful way possible. Whoever has the most black cards at the end is the winner (if you can call it that). Suitable for endless hours of disgusting fun, you’re sure to get to know how everybody thinks after a couple of rounds. Our handy guide to the best poker sets features more great products like this.
