Looking for the best funny card games in the UK that aren’t Cards Against Humanity? You’re not alone.
CAH had a huge cultural moment (and it still has its place) but if your group has rinsed it dry, it might be time to branch out. Whether you’re planning a party, a casual game night, or just want something that gets laughs fast, there are now loads of funny card games for adults that deliver chaos, creativity, and genuine interaction without relying on the same old shock jokes.
Here are six of our favourite funny card games in the UK for 2026, perfect for groups who want something memorable - and a solid alternative to Cards Against Humanity.
💀 1. G.R.I.M. INC. - A Darkly Funny Card Game for Adults
Publisher: Terror Toad
Players: 3 - 8
Play Time: ~ 60 minutes
Full transparency: we made this one. But it earns its place here.
In G.R.I.M. INC., you and your friends work for the Grim Reaper at the Grim Reaper’s Institute of Murder. Each round, you’re given three card prompts and must pitch your most imaginative (and ridiculous) way for a mortal to meet their end - all against the clock. The best pitch wins. The worst pitch still usually gets a laugh.
Think Dragon’s Den meets Final Destination, with unnecessary corporate lore and an emphasis on creativity rather than shock value. Despite the theme, the tone is playful, silly, and often unexpectedly wholesome.
“Thank you for filling our lives with a bit of joy.” – Andrew, UKGE attendee.
Grim in concept, but reliably funny at the table.
🐱 2. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza - A Fast, Physical Party Favourite
Publisher: Dolphin Hat Games
Players: 2 - 8
Play Time: ~ 10 - 30 minutes
This one has earned its reputation for a reason.
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza takes the familiar idea of snap and turns it into a frantic, laugh-out-loud party game. Players take turns placing cards while chanting the title in sequence - when the word matches the card, everyone slaps the pile. Add in special cards that demand silly actions, and chaos follows instantly.
It’s fast, accessible, and brilliant as a night-opener. Katie often brings along a copy into her community art sessions, and it’s consistently one of the most requested games when groups want a fun distraction or some downtime.
Energetic, physical, and always funny.
🪵 3. Poetry for Neanderthals - Funny Without Being Filthy
Publisher: Exploding Kittens
Players: 2 - 12
Play Time: ~ 15 minutes
If you’re actively looking for a card game to play instead of Cards Against Humanity, this is one of the best options out there.
In Poetry for Neanderthals, players must get their teammates to guess a word or phrase using only single-syllable words. Slip up, and you get bonked with an inflatable club. That’s it. That’s the rule.
The humour comes from panic, frustration, and increasingly caveman-like explanations, making it ideal for mixed groups or anyone wanting something funny without leaning on offensive humour.
Loud, silly, and reliably hilarious.
🚋 4. Trial by Trolley - Moral Dilemmas, but Make Them Funny
Publisher: Skybound Games
Players: 3 - 13
Play Time: ~ 30 - 90 minutes
Based on the classic trolley problem, Trial by Trolley turns ethical dilemmas into outrageous arguments.
One player controls the trolley, while everyone else argues why their track shouldn’t be chosen, using absurd characters, modifiers, and increasingly unhinged logic. The result is passionate speeches, fake moral outrage, and a lot of laughing at yourselves.
It’s a great Cards Against Humanity alternative for groups who enjoy debate, storytelling, and social chaos.
Best played with confident, opinionated players.
🐦 5. Imposter Pigeon - A Sneaky, Funny Social Deduction Game
Publisher: Terror Toad
Players: 3 - 6
Play Time: ~ 15 minutes
Small box, big mischievous energy.
In Imposter Pigeon, players are secretly sorting bird cards into their correct flocks - shoebills, chickens, flamingos, even the occasional dodo. Somewhere in the mix, a pigeon doesn’t belong. Accusations fly, counting ensues, and eventually someone gets voted out as the imposter.
It’s light, quick, and ideal if you want a funny card game for game night that’s easy to explain and endlessly replay-able. There’s just enough strategy to keep things interesting, with optional bonuses and traps to tune the chaos.
A perfect warm-up game or cheeky filler.
🐛 6. Cheating Moth - The Card Game Where Cheating Is the Point
Publisher: Drei Magier Spiele
Players: 3 - 5
Play Time: ~ 20 minutes
Yes, you are meant to cheat. No, you are not meant to get caught.
In Cheating Moth, players try to get rid of their cards by any means necessary - secretly dropping them, hiding them, or passing them off when the guard player isn’t watching. One player’s entire job is to police everyone else, which makes things tense, loud, and extremely funny.
It’s physical, sneaky, and ideal for groups who enjoy playful rule-breaking and lots of shouting.
A brilliant closer for a party-heavy card game night.
👀 Final Thoughts
Cards Against Humanity helped shape party gaming, but if you’re looking for funny card games in the UK that offer creativity, interaction, and variety, there’s never been a better time to branch out.
From frantic slap games and social deduction to moral chaos and outright cheating, these games prove that funny doesn’t have to mean repetitive.
