5. King of Tokyo
There’s no love lost in King of Tokyo, just full-on battle! First, you take up the mantle of a gigantic, evil monster. Then, you fight to see who maintains control of Tokyo. It’s a mess of dice and cards, in which all you can do is battle each other TO THE DEATH. And that is precisely the type of energy we want to bring into our battle-filled Anti-Valentine’s Day board game night. Big, sweaty beasts fighting other bigger, sweatier beasts in a royal rumble of tooth and fang for dominance over pesky little humanoids.
4. Bang! The Dice Game
You want to know the perfect place for people who can’t put up with all those boring lovey-dovey posts? The wild west! Back in the day of cowboys and revolvers, peace and love were never an option. If you want to relieve that, instead of browsing through your heart filled Instagram feed, get your hands on Bang! The Dice Game. It’s brutal, it’s luck-based, it lets you shoot your friends straight in the face. What more could you ask for?
3. Cash ‘n Guns
And speaking of shooting your friends! If you enjoyed the shooting in Bang! The Dice Game, Cash ‘n Guns takes the shooting to a whole new, mafia-inspired level. The premise is simple. You all just performed a mass heist. You each have a gun. You all want money, so you’re all gonna shoot at each other. The wrinkle in your plan is that you only have three good bullets; the rest of your rounds are just blanks. The trick is to bluff your way into as much money as possible without dying. If someone’s putting a gun at your head, you can duck, but if you do, you’re getting none of the money on the table. It’s tense, but remember, it’s not personal, it’s just business.
2. Shit Happens
Not everyone became a fully-fledged hater of Valentine’s Day because they had their cookie stolen that one time in middle school. No. The truth is, for most of us… shit happened. And Shit Happens captures that perfectly. It’s a guessing game of awful things. Every turn, you try to guess how horrible an experience was compared to those on the cards in front of you. If you guess correctly, you get the card, and the first person to 10 cards wins. For those who despise overly happy people, this one is a winner.
1. Cards Against Humanity
You’ve all heard of it, you’ve all laughed at it, but there sure as hell ain’t no love in Cards Against Humanity. If you’re a person with no filter looking for a game to suit your DARK sense of humor (and we’re talking eclipse level of dark), Cards Against Humanity suits your every need. With this game, when the world is spreading love, you can spread abnormally insensitive jokes to your friends that also don’t have a moral compass. If you are looking for an excuse to be a horrible person for a few hours, you’ve just found it. This right here is the only game that hates humanity as much as you do.
And that about wraps up our Anti-Valentine’s Day games! If you’ve fueled your need for hatred with any of these games, be sure to let us know how it went in the comment section!
