Playing card games is a great way for spending some quality time with family and friends. Unlike most board games and classic tabletop games, card games don’t require much time and effort to set up since they don’t have complex setups, and they can also be completed in minimal time. Moreover, not only can card games provide tons of hours of fun and entertainment for everyone, but playing them is also a great way to improve your critical thinking and sharpen your memory. Now, while you’ve probably played or at least heard of the most conventional card games such as spades and solitaire, as well as poker, blackjack, amongst many others, there are some truly unique card games out there that give a whole new meaning to having fun playing with cards in completely distinctive and inventive ways. With that said, if you’re an open-minded person looking for card games that are a little more spicy and incredibly hilarious, then the Cyanide & Happiness Card Games like the Joking Hazard and the Master Dater are outstanding choices to go with.
Cyanide & Happiness’ Joking Hazard and Master Dater are unconventional party card games for adults that offer fun and messed-up scenarios in which players compete amongst each other to try and create the most hilarious situations.
From the creators of the hit webcomic Cyanide & Happiness which has over 11 million YouTube channel subscribers, these one-of-a-kid party card games for adults are great for any game night that you’re to organize with family and/or friends.
Now, let’s have a slightly more detailed look at each of these surprisingly eccentric party card games and check out how each of them is meant to be played.
Cyanide & Happiness Joking Hazard – Funny & Offensive Comic-Building Card Game
Joking Hazard is an extremely not-for-kids party card game from the minds of the hit webcomic Cyanide & Happiness in which 3 or more players compete against each other by trying to use one of their cards to finish incredibly funny and terrible 3-card-panel comic strips that talk about friendship, violence, sex, and everything in between, during which players can form millions of hilariously awful situations, and sometimes nice ones.
HOW TO PLAY?
The rules for playing Joking Hazard are fairly simple, and the game can be played with a minimum of 3 players and a maximum of 10 players that are at least 18 years old or older.
First, everyone takes a bunch of panel cards and a judge is picked. The first panel of the comic is accomplished by randomly drawing one card from the deck. The next panel is added by having the judge intentionally placing a card to create a specific scenario.
Once that’s done, all the players try to finish the current 2-card-panel comic-strip by adding in one card from their hand, from which the judge will pick the funniest scenario.
The game’s box comes with a total of 350 high-quality comic panel cards which are already printed, plus 10 add-your-own-words cards, for if you get a good idea for one or want to write about any “stupid” friends into the game in order to make fun of each other (in a friendly and banter-only manner, of course).

Cyanide & Happiness Master Dater – Mixed Up Dating Party Card Game
Master Dater is a messed-up and hilarious dating card game from Cyanide & Happiness in which players vie for each others’ attention and affection by combining a head-card and a body-card together to create perfect, loveable, wacky, or even awful dating partner options that do their best at appealing to 3 very specific dating interests that are provided by the judge of the game.
This dating card game will take players on a weird and wonderful journey that’s all about love, in which everyone argues their way into the heart of the sexy single. Play it together with family and friends, defeat your rivals, and win at love!
HOW TO PLAY?
The rules for playing Master Dater are both simple and very straightforward, and the game can be played with a minimum of 3 players and a maximum of 6 players that are at least 13 years old or older.
First, the judge kicks off the round by sharing their choice of 3 specific dating interests with all the players (or “Daters”). The judge’s interest cards can be distributed however they see fit, so they should think long and hard when selecting their 3 chosen dating interests.
The players then closely review those darting interests and figure out what’s the best dating partner they can assemble with their current head-cards and body-cards in order to appeal to either one, two, or in best case scenario, all of those 3 dating interests.
As a Dater, each player has several card options to choose from for the head and body of their ideal date that tries to pander to the 3 dating interests the game’s judge provided. Then they simply have to argue their point and try to prove that their date partner option is the one that better matches those dating interests.
The game’s box comes with 300 weird interest cards from which the judge selects each round’s 3 specific dating interests to let players know more about the beautiful single who’s heart they’re trying to win over, along with 230 head and body cards that players use to create the perfect date for that “sexy” single.
All cards are of very high-quality and are also spill-resistant.
