I used to think that one of the perks of adulthood would be never having to play another board game. But ever since I discovered fun adult party games and board games for adults, I've changed my tune. I am now a proud game player, and the last step in my transformation is to combine game night with girls' night. And for that, I need the best games for girls' night that money can buy. The question is: What makes for a good girls' night game? Pls allow me to explain.
The key to combining girls' night and game night is tailoring your game(s) of choice to your friend group. If you're hanging out with new friends, you might look for a get-to-know-you game like Never Have I Ever or a drinking game. Swifties might prefer a Taylor Swift trivia game or a romance-inspired card game. And everyone loves a little NSFW dirty game of Taboo! Just be warned: Once you make the right match, your girls' nights are going to be much louder (and more fun) than they've ever been before.
Ahead, all the best party games for your next girls' night in (or your next girls' night out, since you can always take these games to the bar, just saying!).

A Scandal in Bodgerton
This Bridgerton and Jane Austen-inspired game from Masters of Mystery is a new spin on interactive, role-playing murder mysteries. Instead of solving a murder, you'll be tasked with finding out who among the ton is "L. Whistlewind," the gossip columnist of the fictional Bodgerton. This set comes with everything you need, including a host guide, evidence packs, and character booklets for your guests.
- Players: 4-20
Glowing Customer Review: "Loved the game. Character profiles are brief, set characteristics, but vague enough so that a single character could be interpreted and played 100 different ways. For role-playing pros, it's easy to improvise, and for new players, there's enough guidance from the script to help them carry on."
