Edgy Adult Cards Games

Relative Insanity
Relative Insanity, by Jeff Foxworthy, is about crazy family members game that can be played with family. Much tamer in nature than the games above but fun for families and friends. The game is similar to Apples to Apples in the sense that a player reads a card, others submit cards and the player selects their favorite.

Get Lucky, Win Cash

L C R
LCR does not state that you play with cash, but every time we have played it, we were told to bring dollars bills for the game. In our games, each person starts with three dollar bills and depending on what you roll you might end up passing your dollars to the left, right or into the center pot. The last person with a dollar bill wins the pot. FYI – You don’t have to play with dollars, just play with chips for fun.

“Terrific game for any age.”
“This is a fun, quick, easy to grasp game.”
“Exciting because you can always get back in the game”

We have played with up to 20 people. Random winner.

Odd, Bizarre Fun

Exploding Kittens

Throw Throw Burrito
If you can dodge a car, you may be able to dodge a burrito. Throw, Throw Burrito is the dodgeball card game, by the creators of Exploding Kittens.

This card game has everything – fast paced, cards, strategy to get pairs and of course flying burritos! Yes, you actually toss the burrito which makes this game even more bizarre.

We recommend this game for fun and laughs, but if you have a bad hip, poor aim or really slow reflexes you might want to consider another game option. Throw Throw Burrito is for 2-6 players and ages 7 years and older.

Bears vs Babies Game
Just when you thought games couldn’t get crazier, here comes Bears vs Babies the monster building card game for kids 10 and up and adults.
