Diwali is just around the corner, and it's Teen Patti season all over again. While most of us like the idea of dressing up in pretty ethnic clothes and playing cards, some of us really get bored because either a) we don't want to play Teen Patti or b) we don't know how to. At every party, there's at least one table or area where people are simply enjoying the music and chilling. Or people who host Diwali parties sans Teen Patti. For those people, we have curated this list of the best card games to play at a house party, you know, to keep the 'card party' tradition alive. Go on, read more and bookmark for later, because this goes beyond the festive season too!

8 Card Games To Play At Your Next House Party Other Than 'Teen Patti'
Dring The Ultimate Indian Drinking Game
₹1399
We all have seen this on our Instagram feeds, and we can assure you it's one of the most fun games to play. From getting super drunk to finding new things about the group, this will make your house party a hit and a night to remember. Shuffle the task deck and place it in the centre. On your turn, draw a card, read it aloud, and do what it says. Most cards are dares or 'answer this' prompts that assign sips or group actions.

Card Game Combo - Truth & Dare & Never Have I Ever
₹1999
When part of the group starts playing Teen Patti, there's something non-card playing members have to play and what better than the classic old Truth & Dare and Never Have I Ever, but in a card form? This Combo pack gives you both at an affordable price. Plus, you also get to do some fun dares and ask some daring questions.

Bollywood Battle Card Game
₹699
Are you a Bollywood buff? Then prove it by playing (and acing) this game! Easy and super fun to play, you have to guess the movie, song, actor, or character, based on the clue that's written on the card. There are 200 cards with different clues that have legendary films, chart-topping songs, and iconic moments. A perfect pick for those who live and breathe Bollywood.

Monopoly Deal Card Game
₹349
If you love Monopoly, you'll love this one too. It's basically Monopoly but with cards. The goal is simple; be the first to complete three full property sets in different colours. On your turn, draw 2 cards, then play up to 3 cards as money, properties, or actions (charge rent, swap, steal, etc.). Pay debts from your tabled bank or properties, not from hand.

UNO No Mercy Cards
₹299
This game needs no introduction; we all have played UNO at least once. However, this new 'No Mercy' variant is brutal and will definitely ruin friendships and relationships (been there!). It's the same iconic game but with new rules and nastier action cards. You can stack Draw cards, 7s force you to swap hands, 0s pass all hands around, and the Mercy rule knocks a player out if they hit 25+ cards.
Consumer Rating: 4.5/5
No. Of Players: 7
Age: 3 and up
Pro-tip: You can also play Uno Flip for something less intense and equally fun.
Cards Against Humanity
₹2999
You've probably seen this one on social media too, and for good reason. It's as fun as it is chaotic, and we love that energy. Each person gets ten white answer cards. One person, the Card Czar (judge), draws a black question or fill-in-the-blank card and reads it aloud to the group. Everyone answers, and the Czar picks the funniest of them all. But be aware, the questions aren't as simple as you'd think!

These Cards Will Get You Drunk
₹999
This one may end up in a night you won't remember because trust me, no matter what you do, there will come a card that will force you to drink. There are 100 cards in the deck, each featuring a dare, a question, or an activity that the group must complete. Either the first person to quit the dare or activity drinks, or the person who wishes not to be a part of the activity drinks. So, we suggest not playing this game if you're feeling antisocial.

Who Knows You Best?
₹999
This game has the power to change your opinion about how 'close' your friendship is with people, especially if they fail to answer basic questions like 'Which flavour of popcorn do you like?' As the name suggests, each person will ask a question about themselves to the group (there are 200 question cards in the deck). Everyone will get a Dry-Erase Answer Card and a marker to write their answer. The one who scores the most points wins and actually knows everyone the best.
Consumer Rating: 4.6/5
No. Of Players: 2 to 12
Age: 10 and up
Horrible Friends (Who's Most Likely To)
₹899
Be careful before you start this game, because chances are friendships might be ruined after this ends. The rules are simple: one person will pick a card that will have a certain prompt, like 'Who's most likely to gossip about someone they just met?' or 'Who's more likely to cancel plans at the last minute?', and everyone will have to point to the person they think would do the said prompt. The winner here will actually be your most 'horrible friend' (hence, the name), and that's how you may lose a friend or two.
Consumer Rating: 4.8/5
No. Of Players: 3 or more
Age: 18 and up
Pro-Tip: You can also make it a drinking game. If a person in the group doesn't want to name anyone, they take a sip of their drink or shot (whatever floats your boat).
