… and that widely popular card game amongst German-speaking countries, specifically the Swiss… JASS (pronounced – yahs”).

I played Killer Bunnies before. That game is completely hilarious. It was pretty damn fun.

One of the best games of all times is Apples to Apples. It’s not really that odd, but it’s great to play with a bunch of people.

Basically, the “it” person draws a green card with an adjective on it, and all the other players have red cards that have nouns on them. They play whatever card they think that the “it” person will pick to match the adjective. The catch is, the “it” person can pick whichever card he or she likes, regardless of whether or not it matches the green card.

It is great game to play with a whole bunch of people with hours to spare.

And I absolutely LOVE the card game spit. I played it waiting for after school practices in high school. Fantastic game

My family and I have game nights with friends, and the favourite games are Munchkin (in all its’ various expansion forms), and Zeus on the Loose. ZotL is great for children, but a lot of fun for adults, so it’s the perfect family game.

You left out the Munchkin series! here isn’t a greater series of card games then that one.

PS. I LOVE Guillotine, I’ve played that card game for 5 years now and it NEVER gets old!

Yay for “Bohnanza” and “Kill Dr. Lucky!”. Those two are my favorites, and now i have a whole list of games to look for at the game shop.

My favorite part of Kill Dr. Lucky is watching your friends try to explain the rules of the game to their 7 year old children. It’s surprisingly funny. Anyone ever played “Kill Dr. Lucky and his Dog?”

How could you have left off the greatest of all card games- Illuminatus? Based on the novel by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea, it’s a great game of interlocking conspiracies.

Fnord!

Haven’t had a chance to play any of these games, but would love to try many of them.

Some unusual card games I’ve played include:
Lunch Money – School girls beat each other up for their lunch money. Person with all the money at the end wins.
Zombies – Survivors try to escape the undead by reaching the heliport.

I don’t know how unusual those can be classified or if anyone has mentioned them yet, but both are pretty fun.

What a fun read. My wife and I used to play Speed but the others are beyond me. Some of the descriptions reminded me of a couple of games I played back in the 70’s. One was mostly a card game, with a board game component called Cosmic Encounters. You used alien powers to defeat your enemies. Another was designed by Brian Eno called Oblique Strategies. I could only remember who designed it and found the name and description on Wikipedia: “Described as “100 Worthwhile Dilemmas” and intended as guides to shaking up the mind in the process of producing artistic endeavors. “
