Updated 2026-11-09 · by Muhammad Zain Raza, who makes Draft Party

These are the anime games that work at a party or on a group call: everyone joins on their own phone with a room code (or you pass one phone around), nobody installs anything, and every game ends in an argument about anime. They're all free on Draft Party, with 3,857 characters from 50 anime, each with a researched tier and 1-5 ratings.

The anime draft from YouTube Shorts and TikTok, made playable. Pull a character you can't see coming and decide on the spot which role on your team they get: Shinobi, Ninjutsu and Taijutsu in Naruto, Haki and Devil Fruit in One Piece. No take-backs. Then everyone votes on the best team. How to play Role Draft

2. Mystery Auction (2 to 8 players)

Everyone gets $20 to build a team of 4, bidding on characters they only know from one clue. Overpay for a mystery card and it might be a D tier. How to play Mystery Auction

3. Anime Imposter (3 to 10 players)

Everyone gets the same secret character except one player, who only knows the anime. One-word clues, then a vote. Catch the imposter and they still get one guess to steal the round. How to play Anime Imposter

4. Anime Guess Who (2 to 8 players, online)

The board game with 24 anime characters. Question cards are answered from real character data, and a blind first guess is worth 2 points. Bigger groups play in two teams. How to play Anime Guess Who

5. Who Am I? (2 to 10 players)

Guess the character from three clues, hardest first. Get it on the first clue for 3 points. How to play Who Am I?

6. Perfect Anime Draft (2 to 6 players)

Build the perfect anime out of parts of real ones: a hero, a power system, a villain, an opening. Bid $20 on the parts, then vote on the anime you'd actually watch. How to play Perfect Anime Draft

7. Name Chain (2 to 10 players)

A bomb gets passed around. Name a character whose name starts with the last letter of the one before, in 30 seconds, or it goes off in your hands. How to play Name Chain

8. Build a Character (2 to 6 players)

Spend $15 building one fighter from different characters' best traits, priced from researched ratings, then argue whose build wins the scenario. How to play Build a Character

Forehead (everyone sees your character but you), Closest Without Going Over, Anime Scale, Guess the Age, Keep 3, and a Daily Draft with the same 9 cards for everyone in the world that day. Every game is on one page of rules.

How to pick

Mixed group, some casual fans: start with Anime Imposter or Who Am I?. Nobody needs to know every character.
Everyone has opinions about power levels: a draft or an auction. The vote at the end is the game.
Two players: Anime Guess Who.
Big group on a call: anything with a room code, so everyone plays on their own screen.
