We all love to play games, be it solo or with loved ones – until someone’s arguing over if ixnay is a valid Scrabble word (it is – we checked). But even the best games can benefit from being taken to the next level with some quirky at-home rules. So, if you’re in need of some good laughs, we’ve got you covered with some funny rules that will have you in stitches.

Fast-Paced Games

When it comes to homebrew rules, fast-paced games really don’t get the love they deserve. But we’re starting strong by turning the tables and giving them the funniest at-home rule.

 

Of course, we can’t cover every possible fast-paced game in existence; we’re not all-knowing beings, after all. So, we’ll use an example from the world of online casinos. And our best bet here will be with online slots, a cornerstone of the gambling industry, which will act as our base for some funny rules.

 

And keep in mind that our idea can apply to any variant of slots or other quick games. So if you want to implement this rule with one of the new online slot games you’ve found, you can certainly do so. In fact, we think it would slot in perfectly (pun intended) into whatever new slot games you wish to play.

 

Plus, online slots can be enjoyed via a smartphone, along with a tablet or PC. This means you and your friends can all have the game open on your respective devices at the same time – which is actually quite crucial.

 

So, our suggestion is to go for a classic try-not-to-laugh challenge, but with a twist. Start by gathering your friends around and picking a specific slot. For those who may not be quite as well-versed in this industry, you may feel like your mind is reeling (once again – pun intended) from all the options. In this case, why not make your life easier by checking out the online slots of the month, such as the groovy Disco Vibes?

 

Once the decision’s been made, grab a couple of marshmallow bags. Now, have you heard of the chubby bunny challenge? It went viral ages ago, but why not bring a “retro” challenge to this long-standing game?

 

If you don’t know the premise of this – well, you simply play against your friends and stuff as many marshmallows as you can into your mouth until you can no longer say the words chubby bunny. But we’re changing the rules slightly to fit better with the game.

 

With every spin you and your friends make, you each have to place one marshmallow into your mouth and say the name of the game you’re playing. All of this needs to be done without cracking a single smile or laugh.

 

Whoever loses, either by failing to say the words or laughing/smiling the most, has to take a penalty. Now, you could choose your own penalty, but to make it more fun for us, we’d be very happy to imagine you and your friends trying out our idea.

 

Our weapon of choice for this penalty will be the humble tortilla. The winner gets to slap the loser, or losers, with the tortilla – on camera. While it won’t actually harm anyone, it will still evoke plenty of laughs and only leave a bruised ego behind. Alas, with this one, we can’t say that no tortillas will be harmed in the making of this unforgettable experience.

 

And who knows? Maybe the winner will get to deliver a tortilla slap so dramatic that it will earn them an Oscar nomination. Or the loser could go all out with a fake fall, and end up upstaging the winner.

Slow-Paced Games

Okay, look, the aforementioned idea was all fun and games, but let’s not stop there. It’s time to take a look at how we can make even the most tedious and strategic of games funnier.

 

While they say, if it ain’t broke – don’t fix it, in our opinion, there’s nothing wrong with spicing up a classic like Monopoly during a game night. So, imagine if you couldn’t speak at all during the game. And the reason why? Your mouth is full of water.

 

Okay, hear us out. No one likes messiness – we get it. But this objectively would be hilarious. Imagine trying to trade and haggle with your friends over properties with a mouthful of water? Now, we think this would just add to any game night.

 

And the loser has to clean up every drop spilled from giggling over flailing limbs – a great incentive to not spill the beans. Well, we meant water, but you know that.

 

But that’s not the end of it. The last person standing, or to be more accurate, sitting with a mouthful of water while everyone else has forfeited or gone bankrupt, gets to spray the losers.

 

Whether you choose to be benevolent and simply douse them with a glass of water or unleash your inner fireman and hose them down in the backyard – we’ll leave that up to you. But the only thing that will probably hurt is your water bill, and we reckon it will be well worth the experience.

Conclusion

Sometimes, you can use creativity to create something beautiful. But if you’re anything like us, you’d rather use your powers for laughter and craft some absolutely ludicrous rules for the funniest game night. So, why not go all out? Regardless of whether you end up a tortilla slapper or a hoser, this will be a game night you’ll never forget – nor will your guests.
