I have a small party soon, we play cards of humanity which is fun but looking for something different. Can anyone recommend anything that’s simple but funny?

The cereal box game, everyone has to have a go picking it up with their teeth- no hands! Once everyones had a go you tear a strip off and go again till it’s just a sliver of the bottom part left.

it’s a good hamstring test!! 😂

Eh@Rantypanties ?? 😄 this is one cereal box…? But picking it up in your teeth is easy?? Or is it upside down?

My friends at uni called this Indian poker- I’m not sure if that’s a politically correct name but it’s all I know it as! Very simple

Everyone pulls a card and holds it on their forehead so it’s visible to the rest of the group and not them. The person with the lowest card and any people who have the same card as someone else will have to drink fir the same number of beats as the number on their card. The fun part is that before you all look at your own card, you can try and convince people to swap their card for a fresh one from the deck. You can swap as many times as you like, but nobody can look at their own card until everyone has settled and stopped swapping. Will definitely teach you who’s the most devious amongst your friends!

The cereal box is on the floor and you have to do it from standing!

Shot jenga! I think mine was from b&m or amazon, just jenga but most blocks have an instruction on them - e.g. the player to your left must drink one etc. I've played it with loads of people and it goes down well

Brawoe1 · 24/04/2022 15:52

@Summersdreaming I have normal jenga I could change! Although I’d have to be careful what shots I do…. Me and shots don’t get along! I’m a bit of a lightweight!

You can do one drink of your normal drink instead 🙂 or I usually make a punch rather than shotting pure shots, those days have gone 😂vodka, orange and cranberry juice is a nice one

Brawoe1 · 24/04/2022 16:29

Making a punch is a good idea! Didn’t think of that. Or Jell-O shots 😆

Yes sorry 1 cereal box, you’re standing up and you can’t use your hands to pick up the box or use them to steady yourself- just your mouth! once everyone’s had their turn you take off a couple of cm’s round the top and try again.

it’s hilarious if you’ve all had a few drinks and having to contort yourself into a flexible position so you don’t fall over whilst trying to pick it up!

The Beat That table game is quite good fun, I got it from Amazon and was quite surprised at how competitive we all got playing it!

Ring of fire is always a winner.

Brawoe1 · 02/05/2022 10:36

Just popping back to see if there are any other recommendations? Ring of fire looks funny but none of my friends have played it so I will constantly be on my phone checking which number card means what etc… any others?? Just funny and simple?

'Never have I ever' is fun. You go round the table with each person saying something a bit risque that they have not done. e.g "Never have I ever skinnydipped' If anyone else HAS done the thing they don't say a word but take a shot. Better for friends than work colleagues!!!

Another one is paper plates held on on foreheads and you try to recreate a simple drawing. Harder than it looks.

Flip cup is a classic. You just need paper cups for everyone. Process of elimination game.

Fuzzy Duck is always funny

Brawoe1 · 04/05/2022 13:57

Never have I ever is funny, I think fuzzy duck will be short lived?

The thumb game.
While Seated at the table eating...

Choose someone to be the Thumb Master. Conversation flows. At some point the TM decides to casually place their thumb on the end of the table, while continuing to eat and drink and chat. If you spot said thumb you do the same. Pretty soon others cotton and do the same. It's amazing through how many folk are so wrapped up in the chat that they don't. Last one to put their thumb on the edge of the table downs a drink.

Brawoe1 · 04/05/2022 18:50

@intwrferingma that sounds fun but don’t have chairs for everyone to sit down at the table whilst eating, it’s not a sit down, more drinks with lots of snacks!
