Diwali comes with a lot of festivities – lights, prayers, sweets, gifts, laughter and not to mention, the Taash parties! Teen Patti, Rummy, Sequence, Sweep, Gulam Begum Badshah and the list goes on. But if you’re one of those who is always standing in a corner completely clueless about any of these card games, join the club! This Diwali we are determined to make you a part of all the fun with these 9 fun games that you can play instead of the regular card games and have a gala time with your buddies! So read on!
1. Cards Against Humanity
This game has recently become pretty popular and for good reason, of course. One of the most fun and funniest games you can play (especially after a drink or two) CAH is as funny as its awkward! The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a black card, and everyone else answers with their funniest white card. But trust us, it can get real crazy, real fast so keep the booze handy!

2. Monopoly Deal
We all know what Monopoly is (And if you don’t, which world are you living in?) Monopoly Deal is the card game derived from the board game and is equally fun, if not more! The objective of the game is to be the first player to complete 3 full property sets on the table in front of you and the rules are pretty simple too! So get your gang and get ready to play!

3. Heads Up
Remember that game where you tape a famous person’s name to your head and your friends have to make you guess who they are by giving you clues? This is the smartphone version of that where you guess as many words, names and characters as possible before the time runs out. A super fun game to play, and even more so when you’re a couple of drinks down!
4. UNO
Everybody knows Uno and (like Raymond) everybody loves UNO! The go-to card game for anyone who doesn’t know how to play Taash, this list would’ve probably been incomplete without it! Just FYI, those memes you see on social media about UNO destroying friendships? It actually happens, so watch your next move!

5. Space Team
A team game that involves more talking than playing, Spaceteam gives each team a unique control panel in order to prevent your spaceship from exploding for as long as possible. But, the catch here is that the instructions you need to carry out are sent to your teammates so you have to act on instructions shouted out by them. It’s chaotic, it’s loud and it’s a lot of fun!
6. Reverse Charades
We’ve all grown up playing charades, but now as adults, its time to do it a little differently! Reverse Charades is the classic game of Charades with a twist. Instead of acting out a suggestion from another person, you have to guess what everyone else in your team is trying to act out. Against the clock, you need to guess as many as possible to win! Sounds pretty messed up and a lot of fun at the same time, right?
7. Taboo
A word game that can give you some hilariously funny moments to relish for days! In Taboo players just need to describe what’s written on the card that they draw while the teammates have to guess the word. The catch is that you have a list of words under the word that you have to try to explain which you cant use. Go for this one if you want to have a blast.

8. Kings Cups
Kings Cups is the ultimate drinking game for any occasion! Grab your drink of choice and get ready to play. With rules that involve a lot of drinking, you’re sure to be super drunk by the end of the game! Pro Tip – Keep sipping on water to avoid getting dehydrated and pick a less potent drink in order to be able to win the game!
9. Psych
The idea behind this game is to gather a bunch of friends and answer ridiculous trivia questions! The catch, however is that the multiple choices you’re given include the correct answer as well as a bunch of incorrect answers which are provided by the other players and of course you have to guess the correct answer! Trust us when we say this, it’s a laughing riot if you play this game a couple of drinks down!
