There are a number of popular party games that use cards. The cards are often not
themselves part of the game, but are used to instruct players as to what action
to perform or what question to answer. So in the strictect sense, these are
probably not "card games", but they certainly are fun, so here they are:
Apples To Apples
Apples To Apples is the wild, award-winning card and party game that provides instant fun for four to ten players!
It’s as easy as "comparing apples to apples"... just open the box, deal the cards, and you’re ready to play!
Select the card from your hand that you think is best described by a card played by the judge. If the judge
picks your card, you win that round. And everyone gets a chance to be the judge!
Cranium
This game brings friends together through 14 fun activities. You won't believe what
your friends can do as your team hums, whistles, sketches, sculpts, acts, puzzles and
even spells backwards to win. The activities are organized into four decks. Requires
4 or more players, for ages 12 and up.
Trivial Pursuit
Everybody's favorite trivia game that asks questions like: What barnyard animal gets
sunburned? What color is lobster blood? What part of an elephant has 100,000 muscles?
You'll surprise yourself and your friends with what you know! From Abacus to Zombies,
test your recollection in these categories: People & Places, Arts & Entertainment,
History, Science & Nature, Sports & Leisure and Wild Card. For two to six players or teams.
Wise and Otherwise
This game game consists of 500 cards, each with five obscure sayings from around
the world and it is the job of the players to devise probable endings. A player
wins points when other players vote for their special ending, or when the player
guesses the actual ending, so the goal is to finish the proverb as convincingly
as possible given the geographic region in question.
