Card Games
Free online multiplayer card games get a group playing in about a minute. One person opens a room, shares the link, and everyone else joins from a browser tab. The site deals and scores, so nobody hunts for a missing card or argues about the rules. The picks below cover both halves of the genre. Trick-taking and card-matching classics like Hearts, Spades, UNO and Crazy Eights seat 2 to 10 players and run 5 to 40 minutes. Party card decks like Chaos Cards and Pretend You're Xyzzy run on prompts and punchlines instead, and take 3 to 100 players. Almost everything here is free and browser-based. Where the best version is a paid app, such as Exploding Kittens, the page says so and names the free swap that covers the same night.
