Friendsgiving is the perfect excuse to get all of your friends together for a hearty meal, creative cocktails and some good-hearted fun. Once the turkey and mashed potatoes have been devoured, take out the desserts and bond over some good old fashioned board and card games.
Of course, for adults, you can make anything a drinking game, but you can also keep things a little more wholesome and just play by the rules — you do you, boo! Most of these games are meant for those 17 and over, so check the rules before you deal a deck.
One of our favorite games to play is called Exploding Kittens, and if you can get passed the outrageous name, you can play.
Exploding Kittens Card Game ($19.99)
The game is played like this: Each player takes turns drawing a card from a pile. If you get an Exploding Kitten card, you're out. You can avoid "exploding" by playing a Defuse Card (these distract the "kittens" with things like laser pointers, kitten yoga and catnip sandwiches). You can also use cards to skip your turn, attack other players, peek at the deck or relocate an exploding kitten card secretly.

Hot Seat Card Game ($24.99)

Who In The Room? ($20)
How to play: Question cards ask things like "Who in the room would survive the least amount of time on a desert island?" and everyone reveals their answer by pointing at the same time. The questions get funnier and more awkward as you go.
Throw Throw Burrito Board Game ($24.99)

Drunk Confidence ($15.49, Originally $16.95)
How to play: Players take turns drawing cards that each hold a challenge, from singing to historical trivia to funny random acts. If the player can't win the challenge, start drinking.

Catch Phrase Game ($13.39)
How to play: Players have to describe a word to other players without saying the word on screen. The team holding the game when the buzzer goes off loses.
