Herd Mentality
Herd Mentality is an excellent party game for the whole family. The game is easy to learn and quick to play, making it perfect for a fun family game night. It can be played with 4-20 players, so it’s a great game for large groups. The goal of the game is to guess what the majority of the other players will guess. Players win cows if their guess matches the majority. If a player guesses differently from the majority, they are stuck with the pink cow of doom.
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza
Weird name, great game. Play Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza with kids aged eight or older in this fast-paced guessing game.

Joking Hazard
Are you a dark-humor aficionado? Then you’ll absolutely love Joking Hazard by Cyanide and Happiness. Dubbed the party game for terrible people, it was created by the minds behind the webcomic Cyanide & Happiness In this game for 3 or more players, you compete to create the most outrageously funny (or terribly awful) comic strips. With 360 unique panel cards and 10 “add-your-own-words” cards, the possibilities for comedic chaos are endless. Not for kids!
Poetry for Neanderthals
We also had to do a double-take when discovering this oddly-named board game. Poetry for Neanderthals challenges teams to describe words using only single syllables. What’s more, if you talk fancy, you’ll get bopped with a pre-historic inflatable club! The game includes 200 word cards, 2 game boards, a giant inflatable club, and a sand timer. Even comes with a repair patch in case your clubbing enthusiasm gets the better of you.
The Worst-Case Scenario
While technically this is a card game, we could not leave it out of the listing. The Worst-Case Scenario laughs at life’s disasters by ditching trivia for hilariously horrible situations. Players compete to rank wacky scenarios, like “lost at sea” or “giving a speech in your underwear.” Match the rankings and score points to win. Perfect for family game nights (ages 10+).
