Planning a game night often involves choosing the perfect game to entertain everyone at the table.
Whether you’re gathered around a pool table in Nairobi or hosting a laid-back evening in your living room, Cards Against Humanity is a popular choice for spicing up the night. But which edition should you choose: the Family Edition or the Adults Edition?
Let’s break down the differences to help you decide what fits your group best.
Understanding the Editions
Cards Against Humanity: Adults Edition
The classic Cards Against Humanity game is a favorite among adults who enjoy edgy, risqué humor.

It’s the quintessential party game for breaking the ice, laughing uncontrollably, and testing boundaries. With its outrageous prompts and unrestricted themes, it’s perfect for an audience comfortable with bold humor and not afraid to push limits.
Best for:
• Game nights with close friends.
• Drinking card games like “Do or Drink.”
• Celebrations like bachelor/bachelorette parties.
Cards Against Humanity: Family Edition
For a more inclusive game night, the Family Edition delivers the same fun with humor designed for all ages.

It swaps out the raunchy themes of the Adults Edition for silly, clean jokes and prompts. If you’re hosting a gathering with kids, teens, or conservative family members, this version guarantees laughter without discomfort.
Best for:
• Family-friendly games nights.
• Playdates and gatherings with children.
• Light-hearted fun without controversy.
When to Pick Which Edition
Consider Your Guests
• If you’re hosting a group of adults who enjoy edgy humor and don’t shy away from sensitive topics, the Adults Edition is your go-to. Pair it with drinking card games or even classics like Poker cards to keep the energy high.
• For a mixed-age group or a more reserved crowd, the Family Edition ensures everyone feels included.
Your Game Night Vibes
• Are you planning a wild party with lots of energy? The Adults Edition pairs well with other party games like Pictionary or Jenga game blocks for a lively night.
• Looking for a low-key evening with a mix of ages? Combine the Family Edition with a round of Uno cards or the Monopoly board game for a wholesome night.
Game Night Ideas with Cards Against Humanity
To make the most of your game night, here are some ideas to elevate the fun:
1. Couples Game Night: Pair the Adults Edition with other card games for couples like “Truth or Dare” or Do or Drink questions for a memorable evening.
2. Family Game Night: Mix the Family Edition with games like 30 Seconds or the Kenya at 50 game for diverse and engaging entertainment.
3. Outdoor Gaming: If you have a pool table or foosball table, create a gaming zone to alternate between physical and card games.
