1. Cards Against Humanity

It can be a really hilarious game to play with friends and it’s perfect for those who want to walk on the line between funny and insulting.
Each player is dealt a number of white cards. The dealer also sets out 30 black cards in the middle of the table, face up. The first player starts by reading a black card out loud. Each other player then plays one of their white cards. The player who played the funniest card wins that black card and starts a new round – this is decided by the player who reads out the black card.
If there is a disagreement about which card is the funniest, then the black card remains in the middle of the table and a new round starts. The player who played the black card in the previous round starts the new round.

4. Dungeons and Dragons
Dungeons and Dragons is an RPG where players take on the role of a character in a fictional world. Players will make choices for their characters that will affect their story. The game is usually played with a group of friends, and players will use dice to determine the outcome of actions taken by their characters.
This role-playing game is perfect for those who want to become immersed in a story with their friends. Players create characters and then embark on an adventure together. It can be really rewarding to see your character grow and develop over the course of the game.
5. Monopoly
This classic board game is perfect for those who want something that will keep them entertained for hours or even days. The aim of the game is to buy properties and then charge other players rent when they land on them. It can be really competitive, and it’s perfect for those who want to try and frustrate their friends.
One player is selected to be the banker and is tasked with distributing money and property to the other players. The players take turns rolling two dice and moving their pieces around the board. If they land on a property, they can buy it from the bank, or if it is already owned, they can offer to rent it from the current owner.
Players can also build houses and hotels on their properties, which increases the rent that must be paid. When one player has all of the properties in a color group (or when all of the properties are owned by different players), that player can start building railroads and utilities. That being said, it’s super common for groups to mix these rules up and reinvent the game.
