These games from Wiggity Bang Games look like fun. Here are the descriptions from the site:

Quelf

Ages 12 & up / 3-8 players / 60 minutes to play

Quelf is insanity in a box! With this hilariously silly party game, you will have outrageous fun with your family and friends. Quelf will inspire you to use your creativity, wit and sense of humor in ways you’ve never imagined.

As you move around the game board, as one of eight quirky characters, crazy things start to happen. Your friends start talking strangely. Your mom’s face is wrapped in toilet paper. Your dad is acting like Dracula. And you are reciting a poem about your armpits.

Each game of Quelf is a new journey into wackiness. When the dust settles and someone crawls away the winner, you realize…you’ve never had this much fun playing a board game in your life! lapDoodle

Ages 6 & up / 3-6 players / 45 minutes to play

FlapDoodle is a game of totally silly nonsensical fun for kids and families! As you race through the FlapDoodle factory, you’ll use your creativity and imagination to answer crazy questions and do silly stunts.

Along the way you might run into to a cranky old man named Mr. SourFace! He’ll try to slow you down. But, if you land on a Ms. Goody Gumdrops space, you’ll get help to move ahead.

The first person to make it through the FlapDoodle factory wins, but everyone has fun along the way!QUAO (pronounced ‘cow’) – The Ultimate Dictatorship Card Game

Ages 12 & up / 3-6 Players / 30 Minutes

What is QUAO you ask? QUAO (pronounced ‘cow’) is the absolute, supreme ruler of an unruly wasteland at the edge of civilization where attempts at democracy are futile. QUAO is the ultimate dictator – an evil bovine with secret Rules.

What does it mean to be QUAO? Being Quao means you know the rules and everyone else has to figure them out. As you play this fast and fun card game, you’ll be challenged to discard all your cards first to win each round, as you try to become the QUAO.

Along the way, you’ll have to play along with QUAO’s loyal subjects. Each of them has their quirks: Quak will ask you to entertain your friends; BullyQ is QUAO’s heavy and has some crazy rules of his own; JaQuas will ask you to reveal something about yourself; and Cheata’ just wants to make everyone’s life hectic with her random requests
