Cards Against Humanity has been the most popular party game for years. It’s easy to play, and it’s hilariously fun.
But what if you’ve played Cards Against Humanity so much that it doesn’t seem as funny anymore?
Or maybe your friends don’t have a copy of the game?
Don’t worry!
There are plenty of other games like Cards Against Humanity out there that will keep your parties lively, crazy, and fun.
10 Games Like Cards Against Humanity
Apples to Apples
If you’re looking for a game similar to Cards Against Humanity but slightly more family-friendly and suitable for younger players, Apples to Apples is an excellent choice. It also has a wider age range than CAH—you can play with kids as young as 8!
You’ll be surprised by how much fun this game can be when played with a large group of people (upwards of 10 or so). Some people prefer it over CAH because they have less trouble finding matching cards since fewer options are available at any given time.
What Do You Meme?
What Do You Meme? is a party game that’s very similar to Cards Against Humanity. Two to 20 people can play it, and the goal is to create the funniest meme by pairing up your cards.
The game is free, but you can buy expansion packs for more content or to support the developers.
Exploding Kittens
Exploding Kittens is a card game where you get to play with exploding kittens and try not to get blown up. This is it if you’re looking for something similar to Cards Against Humanity.
Exploding Kittens was originally funded through Kickstarter in 2015 and has since been published by Exploding Kittens LLC as a physical game that can be purchased online or at your local game store (if you still have one). It’s designed for 2-5 players ages 7+ and takes about 15 minutes per game session with two decks of cards: one deck contains kitten cards, and the other contains action cards.
Each player begins their turn by drawing an action card from their deck (there are different types of actions available), then draws one kitten card from the pile before passing it along so everyone gets at least one kitten during their turn. The goal is simple: survive until only one person remains standing—or become that person yourself.
Joking Hazard
If you’re looking for a game similar to Cards Against Humanity, Joking Hazard is a great option. It’s similar in tone and gameplay: players take turns playing cards with ridiculous and funny content, trying to match as many of their cards as possible with other players’ cards.
Joking Hazard also features more cards than CAH—there are 400 total cards compared to CAH’s 240—so there are more opportunities for hilarity (or just plain weirdness). And if you’re looking for something even more extreme than CAH and its ilk, this might be a good choice.
Drunk, Stoned, or Stupid
Drunk, Stoned, or Stupid is a party game for 4-10 players. It’s similar to Cards Against Humanity, a card game you can play with friends.
But unlike CAH, this game has no age requirement and instead focuses on the question: “How drunk, stoned, or stupid are you?”
Drunk, Stoned, or Stupid was created by the same people who made Cards Against Humanity, and it’s available in the US, Canada, and Australia (but not New Zealand).
Telestrations After Dark
Telestrations After Dark is a party game for 4 to 8 players. It’s best played with adults, as the game includes a pad of drawing sheets, a timer, and a deck of cards. The game aims to turn your friends into cartoon characters using your imagination and some good old-fashioned penmanship!
The gameplay is similar to CAH in that each round starts with one person drawing something on their sheet (like “a cat”), which then gets passed around so everyone can see it.
Players then take turns trying to guess what exactly was drawn before passing it back again. Whoever guesses correctly gets another turn; otherwise, there’s no penalty—you move on to another player until all their drawings have been guessed or lost.
Unstable Unicorns
Unstable Unicorns is a card game designed by those who made Cards Against Humanity. It’s for 3-12 players and ages 17 and up. It’s also for mature audiences, so this may not be your best option if you’re not into cursing or crude humor.
The rules are simple: Each player draws seven cards from their deck and plays them face down on the table. After everyone has played their cards, they each reveal them one at a time until all of them have been revealed (you can play multiple cards of the same type if you want). The player who plays the highest number wins.
The Game of Things
The Game of Things is a party game similar to Cards Against Humanity. It’s more than just a clone, though, with its unique features and gameplay mechanics.
The Game of Things was created by the same people who made Apples to Apples and Splendor, so you know it will be good! This game will have you laughing out loud as you compare things like “the last thing I ate” or “my first kiss.” You’ll also learn some things about your friends; did they eat an entire steak? Did they really kiss someone named Larry?
You can buy The Game of Things online or at most retail stores (we recommend Target). It has 400 cards total: 300 question cards plus 100 answer cards for each player (4 players = 4 sets).
Disturbed Friends
Disturbed Friends is a card game that is similar to Cards Against Humanity. It’s played with 2 teams of 2 players so you can play with 4 or more people.
The rules are easy to learn, and there are only two rounds of play (one round for each team). In each round, one player from each team takes turns asking questions from their hand of cards, and the other player answers them using their hand.
The object is for players on your team to answer as many questions correctly before running out of time or losing points for answering incorrectly.
Codenames
Codenames is a party game for 4-8 players, in which the goal is to guess the code names of all your team members. A 5×5 grid of cards is laid out in front of you and your teammates, with one card placed in each square.
Your team has two minutes to come up with a word or phrase that can describe all their cards without revealing any other teams’ words—and if you give away too many clues about an enemy’s words (or even accidentally say them), then it’s game over!
Codenames have been around since 2015, and it’s still going strong because it’s fun, easy to learn, and quick enough that people won’t start getting bored halfway through a round.
