Hosting a party can be stressful, especially when you're trying to come up with ways to keep your guests entertained. One solution? Adult drinking card games! These games not only provide hours of entertainment, but they also help break the ice and get everyone in a festive mood. In this article, we'll explore some of the best drinking card games to play at your next party.
1. Never Have I Ever
Never Have I Ever is a classic drinking game that's perfect for getting to know your friends on a deeper level. To play, each player takes turns saying "Never have I ever..." followed by something they've never done. For example, "Never have I ever gone skinny dipping." Anyone who has done that thing has to take a drink. This game is a great way to learn new things about your friends and break the ice at a party.
2. Kings Cup
Kings Cup is a classic drinking game that's perfect for larger groups. To play, arrange a deck of cards in a circle around a cup. Each card corresponds to a different rule, such as "Ace: Waterfall" (where everyone starts drinking and can't stop until the person to their right stops) or "Two: You" (where you can choose someone to take a drink). The game ends when all the cards have been drawn.
3. Drunk Jenga
Drunk Jenga is a fun twist on the classic game of Jenga. To play, write drinking rules on each block of a Jenga tower. For example, "Take two drinks" or "Make a rule." As each player pulls a block, they must follow the rule on that block. If they can't complete the rule, they must take a drink. The game ends when the tower falls.
4. Buzzed
Buzzed is a simple but fun card game that's perfect for small groups. To play, each player takes turns drawing cards and following the corresponding rule. For example, a "2" card might mean "You" (choose someone to take a drink) while a "10" card might mean "Categories" (choose a category and have everyone take turns naming something from that category). The game ends when all the cards have been drawn.
5. Flip Cup
Flip Cup is a classic drinking game that's perfect for teams. To play, divide your group into two teams and line up cups of beer on opposite ends of a table. Each player must chug their beer and then try to flip their cup over using only their finger. The first team to flip all their cups wins. This game is a great way to get everyone involved and competing.
6. Thumper
Thumper is a high-energy game that's perfect for larger groups. To play, each player chooses a hand motion and a "thumper" sound. One player starts by doing their motion and sound, and then the person to their right must repeat their sound and then do their own motion and sound. This continues around the circle until someone messes up. That person must take a drink and start the next round.
7. Beer Pong
Beer Pong is a classic drinking game that's perfect for two players or teams. To play, set up cups of beer at opposite ends of a table and try to throw ping pong balls into your opponent's cups. If you make a ball in a cup, your opponent must drink that cup. The game ends when one team has no cups left.
Conclusion
There are endless possibilities when it comes to adult drinking card games. Whether you're looking for a high-energy game or a more relaxed one, there's something out there for everyone. So next time you're hosting a party, consider incorporating one (or more!) of these fun games to keep your guests entertained.
