What it is

A three-round celebrity game that gets funnier each round. Round one you say anything to describe your card. Round two you use one word. Round three you act it out, and the only reason it works is you already heard the clue twice. Our pick for bigger groups that want to laugh.

What we love

  • The second and third rounds build on your group's inside jokes
  • We think it scales to twelve players better than almost anything else
  • Monikers-er and Monikers Classics swap in as standalone decks

Honest trade-offs

  • Base cards include adult-humor pop references; Monikers: Family Edition is the tame box
  • The current box drops points, so a strict timer matters more than a scorekeeper
