This game is great for all ages and has very simple rules that anyone can pick up quickly. Due to It’s popularity it can be found in almost any store that sells games or online.

2 Monopoly Deal
Monopoly deal is the card game version of monopoly classic which unlike the original, only takes 20 minutes to play!
It’s a fast turns and dramatic swings of luck still makes this game one of the best versions of monopoly I have played to date.
I highly recommend this version for any kids (and adults) who don’t have the patience for full monopoly.

3 Exploding Kittens
Exploding kittens was first funded through kickstarter in 2015 and since then has become one of the most popular card games for kids and adults. It’s fast paced and explosive game play keeps players on their toes as they try to gain defuse cards and sabotage fellow players in order to be the last person standing.
Exploding kittens is truly on of the funniest and craziest card games I have had the pleasure to play and I highly recommend it to casual and non-casual players.

Coup the card game is set in the same universe as The Resistance and Avalon as part of a series of games. In the context of the story, the poor and oppressed masses are trying to overthrow the corrupt government by staging a coup.

6 Giant Uno
Giant UNO plays exactly the same as regular UNO but with giant cards. It’s almost impossible, even for adults, to hold these huge cards in your hand but that just adds to the fun!
This is a ridiculously sized card game and the gimmick works.
Highly recommended as a joke gift for friends and family.

7 Love Letter
Love letter is a beautifully crafted card game where players are tasked with trying to get their love letter to the princess.
Each round is pretty fast and a whole game can take only 15-20 minutes.
This is the perfect game on the go for people who travel a lot or want something small to give as a gift.

8 Cards Against Humanity
Cards Against humanity is the adult party game that everyone should own and have played. It tells you just how dirty minded your friends (and family) are and is a great way game to play after a few drinks.
Card against humanity revolutionized adult party games and though many others have tried to emulate its formula, nothing beats this classic. So get your friends together and laugh until your sides hurt with this raunchy and very un PC game.

9 Anomia
Anomia is a fast word association card game that literally anyone from 10 years and up can play. Even the most intellectual person will fumble when under pressure as they try to think of a type of fish before the other player can think of a pop song.
It really feels like an even playing field, age makes no difference, only your ability to perform under pressure!
I highly recommend this for anyone and everyone as both a great party game, and a great card game to play with friends and family.

10 Spot It
Spot it is a fast paced card game that is about trying to match up symbols between the card in your hand and the one in the deck before the other player!
It’s a fun fast paced card game that is great for all ages and even languages. Because it is symbol based it relies only on your ability to match images rather than any reading so it’s a great game to take travelling.
