Adult board games are designed for players aged 18 and older, often featuring more complex rules and themes than traditional family games. These games can include elements of strategy, negotiation, and social interaction, making them popular for gatherings and parties. Examples include Cards Against Humanity, Codenames, and Settlers of Catan. Many adult board games explore mature themes, such as humor, politics, or relationships, which may not be suitable for younger audiences. They often encourage players to engage in discussions and make decisions that can lead to unexpected outcomes, enhancing the overall experience of gameplay.
