Who says you can't have a party while you're on lockdown? Once the gin and beer is on the way, get Spotify queued up on your Sonos speakers, invite your other half and your cat and bring out the card games.
Gone are the days of card games meaning poker or rummy with your grandparents; now, there is actual fun to be had. Think Cards Against Humanity rather than Top Trumps (although there are some good Weird Crush Top Trumps cards too...).
This selection of games might not be suitable for a civilised evening with your nan (or your children) but are great for nights in with your family or housemates while you've got some serious time to kill.

Adult party card games
Cards Against Humanity
The ultimate card game for adults, there are millions (possibly?) of combinations of rude, filthy and hilarious punchlines. You can't really 'win' at this game, but a good sense of humour means everyone will be laughing. Did you know you can also play it online?
Exploding Kittens
Apparently this is the game for you if you like kittens, explosions, laser beams, and goats. Think Russian Roulette but with kittens – try to avoid getting an exploding kitten card to stay in the game.
What Do You Meme?
Designed for ages 18 and over, work with your team to make the funniest memes. Can you make a funnier meme than the little boy with the crayons? Doubtful.
F**k. The Game
An excuse to swear at your friends without offending them (maybe). It also claims to have brain training side effects, so you'll be improving your intelligence without realising.
Drawing Without Dignity
An unconventional, uncensored game similar to Pictionary but a lot ruder, with 670 clues that definitely aren't suitable for work. Includes those little pencils that you find at Ikea but will never actually use.
Gutterhead
A cross between Pictionary and Cards Against Humanity, this card game will get you to draw phrases such as 'teabagging' and 'camel toe', plus many more that we can't possibly write about.
You’ve Got Crabs
From the creators of Exploding Kittens, this game is mainly based around the hilarious notion of shouting "YOU'VE GOT CRABS!" at your friends. Hours of entertainment right there.
The Ginger Fox Don’t Be A Dik Dik Game
Nature's pretty funny, you know. In fact, it's downright hilarious. Sift through this pack of naughty animal names but don't end up with the Dik Dik - because then you'll be a loser. And nobody likes a loser.
