Adults Just Want to Have Fun, and These Games Could Help Them do it

Games of all kinds can be great for kids. As well as keeping your children quiet for hours when you need to get on, great games can build things like analytical and social skills in our youngsters. And, that could help them in everything from school to work later on. 

As adults, though, we’re often far removed from these game-based benefits, and for some of us, it’s been years since we cracked out a board game or played in any way. That’s a real shame, and it’s something that we think you should address this festive season.

After all, with guests to entertain, adult games could be a great way to pass the time and reconnect with your fun side. But, while you know the latest board games for kids, you don’t have any real idea about more ‘adult’ alternatives. Don’t fear – we’ll be discussing them all here. 

# 1 – Card games for adults

Unlike the snap you play with your kids, card games for adults can take your evening festivities up a gear. This is true whether you’re playing for fun or add a little financial incentive to keep everyone interested! As well as playing traditional card games like Christmas Spades and Shithead, adults can mix things up with an increasingly wide array of more mature recent card game releases, including the iconic Cards Against Humanity. Other options, like Bad People and Exploding Kittens, could also have you all howling with laughter, and enjoying a far more mature kind of play. 

# 2 – Board games for adults

A decade or so ago, it seemed like board games were becoming obsolete. Now, though, board games are most definitely making a comeback and, for the most part, adult games are ruling the market. From Wordle: The Party Game, to strategy play as found during Saboteur (which is effectively a board game version of The Traitors), these games are more in-depth, fun, and challenging than ever before. The chances are that your kids would get pretty frustrated with them. But, for a group of adults, what could be better than getting stuck into an evening-long gaming session?

# 3 – Party games for adults

Nothing beats a good party game for getting everyone in the festive mood, and such games are a great option for when the kids go to bed. Even a seemingly innocent party game like Charades or Twister could suit a more mature audience. Equally, you could try a game of ‘I have never’ to reveal some giggle-worthy facts about each other. Other lesser-known party games can also be great fun, and see your guests leaving with a new game up their sleeves. Consider learning the rules of predictive games like ‘Great Minds Think Alike’, or even investing in an increasingly popular murder mystery pack to create an immersive game like your guests have never seen before. 

Adults can have fun too, and these games will help you to prove it to even your most reluctant guests!
