Five Best Board Games for Adults

Going out can be fun. We don’t deny that. We’re not denying that it can be just as fun to stay in with friends. It sounds perfect: a charcuterie platter, wine, chilled music, and a host of games.

We’re not talking here about Connect Four and Scrabble. These are games that are fun and well worth the time spent on a Friday or Saturday night. Don’t worry if you don’t own any games, or if your friends aren’t impressed by the ones you have.

We have compiled a list of the top board games for adults that will guarantee you and your friends an entertaining and enjoyable evening.

GAME (yes, it’s a name)

GAME, a card game, is sure to make your night unforgettable. It’s a combination of truth or dare and trivia, as well as survivor. Some dares can be a bit risky, but they will make you and your friends laugh.

Poetry for Neanderthals

Poetry for Neanderthals can be described as Taboo. You are given a card with a phrase and must describe it to your teammates. Opposing team members will hit you with a 2-foot inflatable stick if you use more than one syllable. It’s hilarious!

Monopoly Deal

We’re not going to make you groan and roll your eyes at the fact that you just read the word Monopoly. Monopoly Deal, a newer version of Monopoly, isn’t nearly as time-consuming nor old-fashioned. It’s really enjoyable. Monopoly Deal doesn’t have a board, only cards. You want to win the most money and property, but you can do it quickly and easily unlike the OG. It’s also possible to f*ck other opponents, which can be very satisfying.

Betrayal at the House on the Hill

Because the suspense of Betrayal at the House on the Hill is part and parcel of the fun, we won’t give away too much about it. The basic idea behind the board game is that it’s a haunted house you and your friends can explore, but one of you will eventually turn on the other… Betrayal At House on the Hill has multiple layouts and scenarios so you won’t play the same game twice.

Cards Against Humanity

This game is not for the weak of heart or easily offended. You all get to put together cards and make jokes. The funniest joke wins. The cards have things like «Thy Anus» or «Rubbing mine clit with a gun», so it is important to stress that you don’t play Cards Against Humanity alongside someone like your grandma…
