Dutch Blitz (Original & Expansion Pack)

This product was recommended by Rebecca Deitsch from Books ‘n’ Backpacks

Dutch Blitz is one of my favorite card games of all time. In this fast-paced game, you rush to lay down cards as quickly as possible. Numbers and colors are both important! I grew up playing Dutch Blitz with my little siblings and friends, and the game always led to happy shouting and general excitement. People often think of Dutch Blitz as a 4-player game, but in fact there is an expansion pack that allows up to 8 players. Since I have 4 younger siblings and our parents often play with us as well, this flexibility is perfect for us. We are all grown up now, but Dutch Blitz remains a family favorite.

Giant Spoons

This product was recommended by Robert Banks from MrStocks

This is an absolute classic card game that you can play with the whole gang. You can play it with two to ten players. I feel like everyone knows how to play this game. Gather around the table and the only rule is that there needs to be one less spoon than people at the table. Each player is dealt four cards, the rest of the cards are put to the left of the dealer from there the dealer picks up a card and puts it down again. But the goal is to obtain four of a kind, after that, cards are passed from the table quickly one at a time as you are trying to obtain four of a kind. And once you do obtain four of a kind cards, grab a spoon as discreetly as possible or violently, which makes everything really funny. As the entire spoon is grabbed one player will lose the game.

Hali Gali Card Game

Hali Gali is a speed game that’s easy to teach and play for both children and adults. This light weight party game is also very portable which makes it the perfect game to keep bring around. It has recently been popularized by Korean Popstars BTS group for it’s fast pace entertaining good fun.

The Hot Seat

This product was recommended by Stephen Curry from CocoSign

This is a card-based question and answer game in which you interview other players. Each time, a new person takes the hot seat and must answer questions about themselves, such as What’s the strangest thing they’ve ever bought online? The other players must also guess what the person in the hot seat will say. It’s a great way to meet new people or just hang out with old ones.

The Resistance

This product was recommended by Stephen Curry from CocoSign

To win, this game requires a lot of bluffing and scheming. If you enjoy thinking outside the box, you’ll enjoy the Resistance. It’s best played with a group of about ten people, but you can get by with as few as six. After your first game, expect your friends to request a rematch. It’s difficult to give up after only one round of a game.

Exploding Kittens

This product was recommended by Eden Cheng from PeopleFinderFree

For those searching for a quirky game to enjoy with friends, then Exploding Kittens is an excellent choice. In the game, the premise is easy to understand, each player must draw one card from the deck and hope they aren’t unlucky enough to pick out an exploding kitten. If they do, then they get chucked out of the game. So, as you might expect, the winner is the last person standing. And to help you be that winner, there are a number of other cards that can help you turn the tables. For instance, some allow you to skip your turn or ‘defuse’ the exploding kittens. And other cards even allow you to know what card will be drawn next. It’s a game that requires some fast strategy and wittiness, but because you can get through a game in about 10-15 minutes, this also makes it an ideal and fun choice for parties, especially considering the fact that the game has a huge sense of humor about it.

Coup (The Dystopian Universe)

This product was recommended by Jamie Croft from DiscountsCode UK

Coup is an amazing card game for 2 to 6 players. It’s a bluff strategy game that is set in a dystopian future where there are multinational CEOs in the government. Now, each of the players has to manipulate others and make their way to the top. When a bluff of a player is revealed, that player is eliminated and the last standing player wins the game. We recommend this game as it is a challenging game which can entertain and build skills simultaneously.

11.5 Gram Texas Hold ’em Claytec Poker Chip Set

This product was recommended by Joe Flanagan from 90s Fashion

The Abyssinia Poker is my favorite 5 player card game! – You play with the 52 card deck, and you need to match one of your cards with one in the table. The dealer deals 6 cards for each player. It is played clockwise. You play one card, that can capture more cards, take the 2 & 7s of the pile. Cards in the hand equal points, so in partnership games, the cards from each member are the total of the points for each team. The player with the highest card of the original suit, wins. I love it because it is competitive and yet it is a team experience and collaborative!

Joking Hazard by Cyanide & Happiness

This product was recommended by Chiara Gomiero from Handy Wine Guide

It is similar to Cards Against Humanity, you basically need to score points by building jokes about every possible topic. One person is picked as a judge for each round and chooses the card the other people need to follow-on from. If you play it with the right people, i.e. those who don’t get easily offended, it’s very funny. Disclaimer, I’d avoid inviting your boss….

If you love Superheroes Comics this game is for. This games is about convincing other people that your superhero is the best to bring on stories, anecdotes, skills and so to convince the other participants to vote for you. With a bit of imagination it’s a very funny game.
