Board games aren’t just for families anymore. Many adult gatherings involve hours competing in fun-filled board games. From the classic to the new, here are three fantastic board games to bust out at your next dinner party.

Monopoly

Nothing wrong with a classic. Monopoly has been going strong for the better part of a century with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Along with the standard version, Monopoly comes with several different editions to fit your fandom. Are you a fan of the Avengers movies? They have a Monopoly board for that. The Friends TV show? That too. Game of Thrones, Jurassic Park, even the band Queen have a Monopoly game. So find your favorite and let the fun begin.

Cards Against Humanity

While not technically a board game, Cards Against Humanity is a card game with instructions that is as simple as it is entertaining. First, one person puts down a card with a question. Then, everyone else puts down a card with an answer. The funniest – and let’s face it, most inappropriate answer – wins.

Ticket to Ride

A game of strategy and competition, Ticket to Ride may seem a bit complicated at first, but you’re guaranteed to be hooked after a few rounds. In the game, you use cards you collect per round to lay train tracks across different landscapes. Whoever has the most completed train tracks wins. Like the two other entries on this list, Ticket to Ride has different versions displaying different countries and cities to choose from. So grab your friends, select your landscape, and climb aboard.
