Free online party card game
One person reads a prompt. Everyone else answers it with a card from their hand. Whoever is judging that round picks the answer that made them laugh hardest, and then the judge changes. That is the whole game, and you will understand it before the first round finishes.
No download. Only the host needs an account.
Create a game and you get a six-character code. Send it to whoever you want playing. They open bad.cards in a browser, type the code, and they are in. Only the person starting the game needs an account, so nobody has to sign up on your behalf while everyone waits.
The judge for the round sees a prompt with a blank in it. Everyone else picks a card from their hand to fill that blank, and plays it face down. Once everyone has answered, the cards flip, somebody reads them out, and the judge picks a winner. That player takes the point, everyone draws a new card, and the judge passes to the next person.
You set the number of rounds when you create the game. Most groups play eight to ten, which lands around fifteen minutes. Highest score at the end wins, and the game tells you who that is so nobody has to keep count.
Before the first round you pick which card packs are in play and set a content rating. That rating is the ceiling for the whole game, so it is the thing to get right if you have a mixed group. You can change both between games.
Standard is one prompt and one judge. There are also games where you type your own answer instead of playing a card, where the prompt is a picture and you play the caption, and house rules where everyone picks a top three rather than one person deciding. Same group, genuinely different game.
Each round one player judges and reads a prompt with a blank in it. Everyone else plays the card from their hand that fills it best, the judge picks a winner, and the winner scores a point. Then the next player judges.
Create a game at bad.cards and you get a six-character code. Send it to your friends. They open bad.cards on their phone or laptop, type the code and they are in.
