Bad Cards

Free online party card game

Card games for couples

Bad Cards gets interesting with couples, because the whole game is finding out what the other person thinks is funny. Play with another couple or two, or over a call when you are apart, and set how personal it is allowed to get before you start.

No download. Only the host needs an account.

Two couples is the sweet spot

A game needs at least three players, and four is where it gets good for couples. Every round turns into a test of who knows whom best, which is a more dangerous game than it sounds.

Just the two of you

Three is the minimum, so a couple on their own adds a CPU player in the lobby before starting. It plays a card every round like everyone else, so there is always a third answer for the two of you to beat.

What a couples round looks like

Prompt

On my tombstone, they'll write: She loved _ more than life itself.

Laughing at my own joke before I finish it.

Staying up really, really, really, really late.

Judge's pick

Counting the steps to and from the fridge.

With two couples at the table, everyone knows exactly whose card is whose. That is the fun part.

Long distance works

It is a browser game with a shared code, so it plays the same across a sofa or a time zone. Put it next to a video call and it is the closest thing to a date night that survives the distance.

You set the temperature

Content ratings are per game, from G to NC-17. Keep it sweet for a double date with your parents, or do not.

Questions people actually ask

Can two people play?

Yes. Add a CPU player in the lobby to make three, or invite a friend.

Is it free?

Yes. The game and its free packs cost nothing.

Can we play long distance?

Yes. Share the six-letter code and play from anywhere, ideally with a call open.

How spicy does it get?

Up to you. The host sets the content rating before the first round.
