However, sometimes you just want to play with the friends that you&#8217;ve already got and for that, the gaming world has come up with a solution. These online games allow you to play with your friends and your friends only. So get your invite list ready because we&#8217;ve picked some great ones.<br \/><br \/><strong>Cards Against Humanity<\/strong><br \/><br \/>Do you and your friends share a sense of humor that others may find a little bit too much, or possibly just downright offensive? If so, then the chances are you&#8217;ve already heard of Cards Against Humanity. This card game took the world by storm after a successful Kickstarter campaign and has continued to provide us all with endless laughs ever since. Whilst many of us enjoy the card game, comparatively few of us know about the unofficial online version of the game. One of the big <a href=\"https:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/2021\/07\/14\/trends-in-the-gaming-sector\/\">trends in the gaming sector<\/a> at the moment is turning card and board games into free online versions and this web application is a great example. Cards Against Humanity even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardsagainsthumanity.com\/\">link directly to the web app<\/a> on their site, so you can play guilt-free. Set yourself a nickname, make sure your friends are on the same server as you, and you can all play together, gratis!<br \/><br \/><strong>ClubGG<\/strong><br \/><br \/>If you enjoy cards, but Cards Against Humanity isn&#8217;t your thing, then don&#8217;t worry. Poker is a great way to get friends together and it&#8217;s generally a little less rude. If poker night isn&#8217;t possible in person, or you just prefer gaming online then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokernews.com\/clubgg\/\">ClubGG clubs<\/a> could be a useful new tool for you and your friends. It allows you to create your own club, meaning that you can play poker with your friends alone. A lot of poker sites select from a whole list of strangers, meaning that you always get a truly random, and therefore fairly matched, selection of players. However, sometimes you want to use the chat bar for hilarious anecdotes and in-jokes and generally, those randomly selected strangers won&#8217;t appreciate it in the same way that your friends do!<br \/><br \/><strong>Plato<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1623171874538-58e2ea6531cb?ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&amp;ixlib=rb-1.2.1&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=967&amp;q=80\" alt=\"Plato offers lots of traditional favorites like Uno to play on the app\"\/><figcaption>Plato offers lots of traditional favorites like Uno to play on the app<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The previous two games that we&#8217;ve mentioned are great for when there&#8217;s half a dozen of you and you all enjoy playing the same thing, but if you&#8217;ve got a particularly large circle of friends then they can be trickier to orchestrate. Plato allows you to play with up to 100 of your friends at once, even enabling a chat room function. Whilst the thought of 100 people all chatting and playing at once might be mind-boggling for some, it makes this particular app really useful for work or college online get-togethers. Better still, Plato has dozens of titles to choose from including lots of card games, battleships, chequers, and generally any of the old-school favorites. If you do feel like widening your social circle a little, then you can even use the chatroom function to meet gamers who are new to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the great joys of online gaming is how it brings people together; you can meet people from all over the world.
