- Most pool games are designed for an even number of people. However, there are some multiplayer pool games such as Peas, Cutthroat and Rotation that are played with three or more players.
You can also play three-Handed Canasta as a 'cutthroat' game (i.e. 'Cutthroat Canasta'), which many consider to be a faster and more exciting game: Each player plays for himself. Each player is dealt thirteen cards. If the player draws from the stock, he draws two cards, but only discards one.
Gone are the days of family-friendly rounds of UNO, where your only backlash against a skip card was playing a wild plus four and changing the color to yellow. Now the game aisle is filled with the best card games for adults to play over a glass — or three — of Pinot Grigio.
Cards Against Humanity sparked the revolution in cruder, slightly-offensive, and NSFW games when it hit the market in 2011. Naturally, the adult-version of Apples to Apples quickly became a best-seller as a game both college students and their parents would enjoy playing — although not necessarily together in one room. As a result, the offerings of obscene, and typically rude, card games on the market continued to expand.
Now the marketplace is flooded with adult card games, and choosing between them is actually a difficult feat. With themes ranging from irreverent comics to memes, there are a plethora of (at times) inappropriate card games designed to meet every friend group's interest. Thankfully, Amazon reviewers leave tons of feedback on their purchases to give an indication of which games will keep you laughing all night and which games you'll never want to play again.
With that in mind, I compiled the best card games for adults currently on Amazon. Keep scrolling for some of the most popular card games for adults, below.
Canasta For Three Players
You may play three-handed Canasta with basically the same rules as four-handed Canasta except for the following:
Each player plays for himself.
Each player is dealt thirteen cards.
You can also play three-Handed Canasta as a 'cutthroat' game (i.e. 'Cutthroat Canasta'), which many consider to be a faster and more exciting game:
Each player plays for himself.
Each player is dealt thirteen cards.
If the player draws from the stock, he draws two cards, but only discards one.
The first player to take the discard pile becomes the lone hand, and the other two play in partnership against him for that hand, and can combine their melds and work together.
If a player goes out before the discard pile is taken up, he's considered to be the lone hand.
The initial meld requirement (minimum count) for each player depends on his own score, so one partner may have a different requirement than the other.
Each player has his own column on the scorepad. The lone hand scores only his own points, while his opponentsscore the total made by the partnership.
A red three counts for each individual player, and is not part of the partnership total.
Two canastas are required to go out.
Game is 7500 points.
If the stock is exhausted, play ends when the player who drew the last card of the stock discards.
If the stock is exhausted, and the discard pile is never taken, each player scores for himself (no partnership).
