Love that vibe and want more of the same kind of fun games to play with friends? We got you. There are plenty of games like Cards Against Humanity that bring the same energy—where creativity, timing, and your group’s personality are what drive the laughs.
We’ve curated a lineup of games like Cards Against Humanity that make perfect companions to your game nights, built for rapid-fire rounds, and surprising laughs that keep everyone locked.
Exploding Kittens
The aim of Exploding Kittens, a fast-paced house party game, is not to get eliminated by drawing the Exploding Kitten card. Basically players take turns drawing cards from the central pile and use action cards to defend themselves or attack their opponents.
This is how it goes down in a nutshell:
- Players are dealt a hand of cards, including one Defuse card.
- On your turn you play cards to shift odds, skip your draw, or peek at danger ahead.
- Then you draw. If it’s an exploding kitten and you can’t defuse it — boom, you’re out. The last person left wins.
The cards are loaded with goofy art and quirky actions, giving every round a mix of strategy, luck, and chaos.
What Do You Meme?
What do you Meme? is another fun based party card game that allows players to create their own memes each round by matching caption cards with an image card (a meme). At the end, one of the players gets to judge the “best meme” of the round (the one that they think is the funniest).
- Every round, there is a judge who turns over a photo (meme) card for everyone to see.
- The remaining members pick a caption card from their hand that they think will go funniest with the photo.
- All of the submissions made will be provided to the judges with all entries face down.
- The judges will then read the captions aloud, after which the judges will award one point per judge for the funniest caption selected by each judge.
Since everyone gets to be the judge at some point, each round is unique and the overall atmosphere at the table is shaped by every person’s sense of humor.
Telestrations
Telestrations is one of the most entertaining games like Cards Against Humanity, basically “telephone,” but with drawings and guesses instead of whispered words. Each player starts by sketching a secret word in their sketchbook. That book gets passed around the circle, and the next player guesses what the drawing is. Your guess then gets drawn by the next player, and so on… until the book comes back to you. At the end, you reveal the hilarious transformation from the original word → sketch → guess → sketch → guess.
The official game box includes:
- Spiral sketchbooks
- Dry-erase markers
- Hundreds of prompt words
- A die and timer for pacing
It’s easy enough that people can start playing within minutes, but unpredictable enough that even the same prompts can morph completely different every night.
Jackbox Party Pack Games
Jackbox is a whole library of party mayhem, often grouped with free card games online because every round resets the humor and the outcome. There are multiple mini-games in every party pack based on the creation of jokes, lying to people, changing their answers around, drawing art and letting the group choose the winners.
- Quiplash is one of those games that can convert a bunch of friends into stand up comics who are competing against one another to see who can create the funniest joke and earn bragging rights.
- Fibbage rewards convincing lies.
- Survive the Internet lets players warp each other’s words into absolute nonsense.
Same setup, totally different energy every round.
Why doesn't it get old? The humor comes from your group, not a fixed deck. Prompts rotate, answers change, and audience voting keeps everyone involved—even the people not playing.
Wrap-Up
Alright, listen up: these games aren’t just “fun once.” Exploding Kittens will have your crew flipping out, What Do You Meme? will make you snort‑laugh, Telestrations turns your friends into accidental Picasso clones, and Jackbox… Well, it’s chaos in a box you can’t quit.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Am I able to play these games at a distance with other players?
Of course. With Jackbox games you can join with your friends (from another city) on either their phones or computers. So the whole group can join in with their trash talk while enjoying from a distance.
2. Do I have to be good at drawing, memes, or writing to enjoy them?
Nope! In telestrations, the worse your drawing is, the better; while quiplash and fibbage are just based on being creative, and not about drawing skills!
3. How many people can join a game night?
Most games work for 4–10 players, with some scaling higher. Jackbox’s audience mode or meme-based prompts let extra friends join in the fun without slowing down the rounds.
