What Your Favorite Card Game Says About You
Card games have a unique way of revealing more than just a knack for strategy or luck – they offer a glimpse into your personality. Whether you prefer games that test your wits, encourage social interaction, or simply provide a fun escape, your choice says a lot about how you think, how you play, and how you connect with others. Let's take a look at what your favorite card game might be telling people about who you are! Outplay, outwit, outcheat If you're bold, quick-witted, and love testing the limits – both your own and those of your opponents, Cheat is your go-to card game. You thrive on deception and suspense, knowing exactly when to bluff and when to fold. For the unapologetic jokester, always ready to push boundaries and spark laughter, Cards Against Humanity is the perfect choice. Psychologists would call you a 'high sensation seeker' – you crave novelty, enjoy flirting with social boundaries, and aren't afraid to go off-script. You get a thrill from bending the rules (without actually breaking them!), reading the room, and delivering those zingers that get everyone laughing or gasping. Decks, dice, and drama For fans of games like Warhammer and Magic: The Gathering, the battlefield is as much on the tabletop as in the mind. As a strategic thinker and an immersive creative, you're drawn to intricate worldbuilding, love mastering complex systems, and have a knack for seeing the big picture (as well as the tiniest details). Whether you're building the perfect deck or painting armies for hours, your commitment reveals patience, imagination, and a drive to outwit opponents on every level. Warhammer fans revel in narratives and customization, while Magic players love to invent combos that no one's ever tried before. You're the person who never shies away from lore, backstory, or inventing new scenarios, because half the fun is creating universes within universes. If you like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokémon TCG, you're definitely part of this club too! Masters of Mayhem If Uno is your favorite card game, odds are you're not afraid of a little chaos. Uno fans value spontaneity and adaptability. They roll with the punches, savoring every turn of fortune, from their own victory to a spectacular comeback by someone else. Quick-thinking and energetic, you love games that keep everyone on their toes and refuse to take setbacks too seriously. Fans of Exploding Kittens fit right into this lively category. You're drawn to absurd humor, and you thrive on unpredictability and embrace the joy of sudden twists. Both Uno and Exploding Kittens players share a zest for dynamic, fast-paced fun where adaptability and a sharp sense of humor are the ultimate winning strategies. The solitude strategist If you're drawn to Solitaire or Patience, you likely appreciate introspection, self-reliance, and the simple satisfaction of conquering a challenge on your own terms. You enjoy quiet moments, finding peace and focus in strategic decision-making and methodical play. Ultimately, every card game is a mirror, reflecting the unique vibe and personality you bring to the table, whether you crave the suspense and chaos or the strategic depths of card games.

The best Prime Day board game deals on Amazon help you stock up on family game night favorites. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTOS: RETAILER We sorted through dozens of listings and compared historical pricing to find board game deals that are actually worth grabbing.

Whether you're picking up a few for family game night or restocking your gift stash, these are the lowest prices you'll see on some reliable favorites. And while Prime Day tends to focus on big-ticket tech or appliances, it's often these smaller categories where you can score the best value. For more great deals, be sure to check out our full guide to Amazon Prime Day 2025. Connect 4: Now $10, Was $14 (29% Off) The Game of Life: Now $17, Was $22 (23% Off) Catan 6th Edition: Now $42, Was $50 (16% Off) Candy Land: Now $10, Was $13 (23% Off) Guess Who?: Now $13, Was $17 (24% Off) Monopoly Deal: Now $6, Was $8 (25% Off) Chutes and Ladders: Now $11, Was $13 (15% Off) Cards Against Humanity: Family Edition: Now $21, Was $29 (28% Off) Clue: Now $18, Was $22 (18% Off) Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza: Now $8, Was $10 (20% Off) Connect 4 is a longtime bestseller for a reason: it's simple, fast and appeals to all ages. This version comes with the classic grid and checkers; there's no bells or whistles, just the original game people know and keep coming back to. Why It's A Good Deal: It's currently $10, which is about as low as it gets for a name-brand version. The Game of Life has been a family night staple for decades, thanks to its mix of chance, decision-making and light-hearted chaos. This edition sticks to the traditional format, with colorful cars, careers, kids and the classic spin-to-win wheel. Why It's A Good Deal: It's marked down to $17 from $22, which matches its lowest price in recent months. Catan is one of the most popular modern strategy games out there, with a strong track record among casual players and serious board game fans alike. This 6th edition includes updated artwork and a few new rules, but the core gameplay—trading, building and racing to 10 points—remains the same. Why It's A Good Deal: It's currently $42, which is a solid discount for a game that rarely drops below $45. Candy Land is one of the easiest games for young kids to pick up, which is why it's often a first introduction to board games. This version sticks to the classic color-based path and familiar characters, no reading required. Why It's A Good Deal: It's down to $10 from $13; that's about as low as this game goes. Guess Who? is a quick two-player game built around process-of-elimination questions, and it's stayed largely the same since the '80s. This version adds a second set of character cards featuring pets, so kids can alternate between classic faces and animals for extra variety. Why It's A Good Deal: It's currently 24% off the standard price and includes extra character variety you don't always get. Monopoly Deal turns the classic property game into a quick and competitive card game that's easy to learn and play in under 20 minutes. It's travel-friendly and a favorite among people who don't usually like the full-length version. Why It's A Good Deal: It's just $6 right now, which is 25% off the regular price. This version of Chutes and Ladders keeps the original design, complete with colorful board, spinner and familiar characters. It's a low-stakes game for younger kids who just want to spin and see what happens. Why It's A Good Deal: You can save a few bucks on an already inexpensive game that rarely drops below $13. This version of Cards Against Humanity is geared toward kids and written specifically for families, with 600 cards that cover everything from butt spaghetti to Mom's friend Donna. It's silly in a fun way and surprisingly replayable, even for grown-ups. Why It's A Good Deal: It's nearly 30% off the usual price, which doesn't happen often for this edition. Clue is still the go-to mystery game for families, and this version includes a card-revealing mirror to help players confirm the final answer. Everything else is true to the original, with six suspects, six weapons and one unlucky victim waiting to be identified. Why It's A Good Deal: It's currently $18, which is less than we typically see for the full version with all included pieces. This fast-paced party game is as chaotic as the name suggests. Players race to slap the pile when certain words or images come up, leading to lots of shouting, laughing and possibly a few accidental elbows. It's made by the team behind Exploding Kittens (which is also heavily discounted right now) and plays in under 15 minutes. Why It's A Good Deal: It's currently $8, one of the lowest prices we've seen for this bestselling card game.

"I Lost My Faith In Humanity That Day": Adults Are Sharing The Wildest Things They've Had To Explain To Other Adults, And Yiiiiikes
Everyone's trying to figure life out, but common sense and knowledge do go...a long way. Recently, BuzzFeed Community members shared the things they couldn't believe they had to explain to other adults, and some of these are so baffling that all you can really do is chuckle: 1."I had to convince a college student that Louie Armstrong was not the first man on the moon." —bubblychicken804 2."I was at a party playing Cards Against Humanity when someone pulled a card that said 'Hiroshima' on it. She was so confused; she turned to me and asked, 'Who is Hiroshima?' I lost my faith in humanity that day." —Alex, 35, Nevada 3."My ex-husband thought that Christmas was on a different day every year, like Thanksgiving. This was in the '90s before smartphones, and we only had the internet at work, so the best I could do was show him a three-year calendar that showed Christmas always being on the 25th. In 10 years, I was never able to convince him that he wasn't right." —shinygoose103 4."I once had to explain to someone twice my age that chocolate milk does not come from brown cows. The amount of people in the US who believe that is incredible." —Anonymous 5."My brother thought that babies and moms were 'snapped' onto each other's belly buttons on the inside. He was in his 20s at the time." —Anonymous 6."My college-educated ex-husband thought that driving uphill meant he was driving north. He thought that since north is 'up' on a map, it must be the same on the ground. I asked him what direction we'd be heading when we crested the hill and went down the other side. He had to think it through for a long time before understanding." —Martha, 73, Florida 7."I had to explain to a man in his 60s that Japan is part of Asia." —deanf48acdde6c Related: Adults Are Sharing Their "I Can't Believe I Have To Explain This To Another Adult" Stories, And I Need A Break From Life After Reading These 8."I had to explain to a former sister-in-law that quitting 'cold turkey' did not actually include turkey." —Anonymous 9."In my mid-30s, I went back to school to finish college. I had at least three classmates ask if I was Italian, since my last name is Madrid. I explained each time that Madrid is the capital of Spain, and not a city in Italy. I just received blank stares from them." —Anonymous, 57, California 10."I had to explain to a coworker that going down on a guy wouldn't get them pregnant." —Anonymous 11."While preparing to move to Alaska, a coworker of mine asked what type of currency is used there. I told her that Alaska is a US state. She said she knew that, but she figured since it was so far away, they had their own currency. Can't make this up." —arcticbabe20 Related: "It Was Driving Everyone Bonkers With Mystery": 49 Times The Internet Came Together To Identify Weird Items That Had Everyone Completely Stumped 12."I had to explain to an older woman I was chatting with in a grocery store that, no, it is not the Democrats' position that being pro-abortion rights means you have a right to kill your baby after birth if you don't want it." —Anonymous 13."We asked our adult coworker to let us know when it was a quarter till one (12:45). Promptly at 12:35, she let us know that it was a quarter till. We all just kind of sat there, looking at her, before asking why she had alerted us at 12:35. She explained that a quarter till was 25 minutes before, saying, 'You know, like how a quarter is 25 cents.' She hasn't lived that one down since." —Anonymous 14."I had to explain to a NURSE that someone with a red meat intolerance cannot eat beef. She kept arguing that beef isn't red meat because 'it's brown.'" —Christina, 33, Florida 15."The number of times I've had to explain to people that West Virginia is a state entirely separate from Virginia due to the events of the Civil War is truly mind-blowing." —adrienoelle2258 16."I once had someone tell me that they didn't vote because the only votes that really counted were the ones from the 'college kids.' I asked if she was referring to the Electoral College, and she said yes. I tried to explain, but she said she learned what she knew from government class in high school, and she passed with flying colors, so I must have it wrong." —Anonymous 17."A man who claimed he'd been vegan for over five years refused to believe me when I told him that lactose-free yogurt is still, in fact, a dairy product." —paulau4fbdfb725 18."That narwhals are real. An adult friend of mine believed they were fake since they were called the 'unicorns of the sea,' and laughed at me for insisting they exist. Good ole Google helped settle that debate." —Anonymous 19."I was working in a law office as a paralegal, and the paralegal next to me said the US has 52 states. Mind you, we were both in our 30s. I tried explaining that there are only 50, but her response was: 'We have 52, and I'm not counting Mexico and Canada.' I printed out a blank map of America and gave it to her to fill out in her free time." —Anonymous 20."I once went on a date to see the movie, Titanic. My date was someone I worked with who, at 40, held a pretty prestigious position within the company. When the movie was over, I mentioned how tragic it was and how so many people lost their lives. He looked at me and said it was just a movie, so it's not like it happened in real life. When I told him that the Titanic actually sank, he refused to believe me and argued with me about it. Needless to say, our first date was also our last." —lunallee212 "That olives are NOT pickled grapes." —Anonymous Well, that was fun.
