Elevate Your Game Night With Cannabis: Strains, Edibles, And Fun Board Games
Elevate your next board game night by incorporating cannabis for an unforgettable experience with friends. Discover the best board games to pair with cannabis and explore some edibles recipes that will really set your night off. We've got suggestions for all. So, read on and take your game night to new heights with Zamnesia.
There's nothing like sitting around with some of your closest friends, breaking out your favourite board games, and having a great time while getting a little competitive. However, have you ever considered adding a little cannabis to the mix to heighten the experience? Of course, this wouldn't be Zamnesia if we didn't give you some ideas about how to incorporate weed into your game night. So, from Catan to Jenga, strains to edibles, we've got ideas on what games to play and how best to enjoy them.
Level up your game night with cannabis
It's no secret that cannabis has the potential to elevate mood, increase creativity, and even make you more sociable and talkative, so pairing your bud with board games and friends is a no-brainer. As mentioned, traditional game nights are undoubtedly fun by themselves, but the inclusion of cannabis is sure to guarantee an evening of non-stop laughter with some of your favourite people. But what do you play?
Best board games for a cannabis-infused night
While you can combine any board game with cannabis, games that require a lot of rules and concentration might not be the best of choices—but that really depends on you and your friend group. With that in mind, we've selected four games that are perfect for your stoned game night. However, for a more definitive list of games, check out our extensive article.
Catan
Otherwise known as The Settlers of Catan, Settlers, or simply Catan, this is a classic eurogame. Catan is a hugely popular strategy game in which you and your friends each take on the role of a settler, and you need to build roads and cities by trading with each other. It may sound a little complex, but this game is massively addictive, and the fits of laughter and lighthearted trading arguments are enhanced when combined with some primo ganja.
Cards Against Humanity
Cards Against Humanity is an adult-themed party game in which players complete fill-in-the-blank statements with offensive, funny phrases printed on playing cards. This game is perfect for breaking out with a group of close friends and can effortlessly be combined with cannabis to bring the fun to new heights. In fact, there are even expansion packs for the game that are cannabis-themed to keep everything ganja-centric throughout the night.
Jenga
An absolute classic party game, Jenga is a game that requires nerves of steel and plenty of concentration to pull off. Your goal (as if you didn't know already) is to remove one of the 54 wooden blocks and place it on the top of the tower. Once the tower falls, the player responsible is the loser. Coupling a game that requires such precision with weed might sound like a recipe for disaster, but cannabis does have the potential to soothe, so you might find you reach a zen state of mind while playing. If not, you'll have a great laugh regardless.
Hemp Heroes
What better game to round off your cannabis game night than the unmistakable Hemp Heroes? This board game takes a little inspiration from Monopoly and makes for a hugely competitive and, above all, fun time for you and your friends. The idea is to move around the board and own all of the strains from a single seed bank and win cannabis cups. This is a great cannabis-related game that'll spark up lively conversations between players about real-life strains, and is perfect for enjoying with a joint or edible (or two.)
Quick and easy cannabis-infused snacks for game night
Once you've got your choice of board game nailed down, it's time to consider some cannabis-infused snacks to populate your table. Of course, smoking your weed is always a viable option, but making a few easy edibles really has the potential to elevate your game night and wow your friends.
Don't worry; the following edible suggestions are easy to pull off, and you certainly don't have to be a Michelin-star chef to get the most out of your cannabis creations. However, the following recipes require cannabis-infused butter or oil, so it’s worth preparing some beforehand.

Weed brownie bites (easy)

Ingredients
- Cannabis-infused butter

Think about choosing a theme for your game night and then building a few cannabis-infused dishes around it. Simply put, the options are essentially limitless—all that's required is cannabis-infused butter or oil, and you're halfway there! Just remember to keep your dosing in check and ensure everyone there knows they're diving into cannabis-infused treats!
Best cannabis strains for your game night
On the other hand, if you’d rather opt for regular food and drink but still want to enjoy cannabis as part of your game night, there's nothing wrong with sparking up a joint or bringing a bong along as part of the proceedings. But which strains suit a competitive game night? You definitely don't want to pick out a variety that's going to couch-lock people at that crucial moment in the game! So, what do you go for? Worry not; help is at hand—here are four strains that are sure to do the trick!
Blueberry
A classic that dates all the way back to the 1970s, Blueberry has blown stoners' minds ever since. This strain boasts immense flavour and potency, thanks to superb genetics in the form of Purple Thai and Thai. Ideal for any game night, Blueberry provides a strong physical buzz coupled with a great mental high that makes it perfect for pairing with any board game. The namesake flavours and aromas also shine through regardless of your consumption method. What's more, Blueberry is now available as fully formed THCa buds (US only), so they're ready to go as soon as you receive them.
Girl Scout Cookies
Girl Scout Cookies is a strain that offers earthy sweetness courtesy of a pairing between OG Kush and Durban Poison. With around 28% THC up for grabs, there's plenty of potency to be found here. Effects are soothing and uplifting, meaning that whether you're playing Jenga or a game of Monopoly, the laughs will come on thick and fast. This strain is perfect for packing into bowls or rolling tightly into joints, as the rich flavours and aromas are ideal for any consumption method. Skunky aromas are sure to fill the air around your gaming area with hints of chocolate, mint, and cherry for good measure. If you're looking for a laid-back vibe for your game night, Girl Scout Cookies will see you right.
Amnesia Haze Auto
Amnesia Haze is the next strain on this board game ganja list. This strain is beloved not only for its great flavours and effects, but also for its classic, though somewhat challenging, morphology. That said, you will find this a receptive strain to cultivate at home, with some great results on offer. The lime green buds showcase uplifting and euphoric effects that will have the whole table in stitches as you lay down your hand in Cards Against Humanity. Coupled with some spicy and sweet flavours, Amnesia makes for the perfect gaming partner. Just don't forget it's your go!
Karen Kush
Melt into a state of happiness and relaxation courtesy of Karen Kush. This strain offers up a smooth and buttery smoke that's teeming with spicy and earthy notes. Also available in pre-rolled form (US only), Karen Kush is ready to go as soon as you receive it. So, if you think all of your skills are in board games and not in rolling joints, Zamnesia has you covered.
