Jumbo Hitster ($19.99 on Amazon)
A blast for all music lovers, this game includes 300+ game cards, each representing some of the biggest musical hits from the past 100 years. Players take turns guessing artist names, song release dates, and song titles, and no in-depth music knowledge or performing is required. The songs are played by scanning the QR code on each card and can be played via a free Spotify account (Spotify Premium makes the game even better).
That’s What She Said ($19.99 on Amazon)
This game encourages the grownups on your list to talk a little dirty. Players match the funniest “phrase” card in their hand to a “setup” that the judge reads aloud. The judge then decides whose choice is the most comical. This game is very easy to learn and requires no skill or strategy – just a funny bone. Ages 17 and up.
