Cards Against Humanity

Such a fun game for adults. The card options are absolutely amazing and funny.

Ever wondered what a grown-up version of Apples to Apples would look like? Well, Cards Against Humanity is the perfect response to that desire. If you've never played Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity, let me fill you in on how CAH works. There are Black Cards and there are White Cards. At the start of each round, one chosen player (The Judge) will select a Black Card from the stack. On these cards will be a phrase or question that needs to be answered/completed. This is where white cards come in. Players have 10 White Cards, which they use to complete the Black Card's question(s)/blank(s). After each player (besides The Judge) has chosen the best White Card in their hand to go with the Black Card, all players turn their White Cards in to The Judge. From here, The Judge reviews the White Cards and decides his/her favorite pairing of the White and Black Cards. The player who played the Judge's chosen White Card gets a point (if that matters to your group) and the gameplay starts all over. Let me give you an example with word-for-word examples of what you'll find on the Black and White cards. 1. The Judge plays a Black Card that says: "Life for the Native Americans was forever changed after the white man introduced them to ____________." 2. All players (exc. the Judge) choose a White Card. 3. After everyone has chosen their White Card, the Judge reviews the responses: "Smallpox Blankets", "Drinking Alone", "A Can of Whoop-Ass", and "Take-Backsies" (Before you read these and think I'm an awful person, these are actual White Cards that I have seen played on the aforementioned Black Card) 4. The Judge chooses "Drinking Alone" and the player who picked this White Card wins the round. This game is great fun, but keep in mind that there are some edgy/racy/raunchy/explicit/graphic/vulgar White and Black cards. In fact, that's the point. If you don't have the right sense of humor to laugh at a card combination like "Lifetime presents: __Pretending to Care__, the story of __Not Giving a S*** about the Third World__", then this is not a game that I would recommend for you. This is not a children's game, and this is not a game to play with Grandma (unless Grandma has a really effed up and awesome sense of humor). But if you and your friends enjoy laughing at the darker side of life, art, and pop culture... This is the perfect game for your next party.

I love this game. Me and my family all have serious jobs that we cope with dark and dirty humor and this game is perfect!! It takes the edge off on family nights and it’s a game we can all laugh at together. Definitely one of my favorite games!!

As others have said there is some very serious price gouging with this game. You can find it anywhere from $30-100 depending on how available it is so my best advice is to just be patient if it isn't in stock. With that being said I will say that this game can literally be hours of fun but only for the right group of people. If you are easily offended, sensitive to certain topics, or young you probably should keep going. This isn't something you would want to whip out at the church youth group gatherings or a boy scouts camping trip. You may not want your 80 year old grandma playing it either... better yet get her to play it... there is a pacman card she probably should read out loud. Starting with the basics: Packaging. The deck comes in a fairly plain box wrapped in plastic. The box has some basic info on it and is durable enough to stand up to a few years of use easily. It is more durable than a lot of game boxes but it is obviously still cardboard. Inside you will find the deck as well as a simple rules card. Cards. Pretty simple design. They are mostly blank with some black or white text. They are about as durable as any quality playing card and have a plastic coating with a slight texture. The game cards and the expansion cards are different card stock. They have a slightly different feel and look to them and according to the box it appears the game is made in the US while the expansions are made in China. Replay value. If you are playing with the same group of people the value is not very high. You can have fun but it will lose its appeal quick. It is really a good game for drinking and socializing. Another issue is that, after playing with the same people, you sort of know what to expect from them which can lead to a bias. As strange as it sounds the more intelligent the group the funnier some of the hands become because you get some really interesting results. Playing with close friends or family can also turn up some pretty funny inside jokes hidden inside the hands. In the end I would say that it is fun with regulars but bringing new people in is where this game shines. It is always fun to see a new player come in not knowing what to expect and playing fairly safe cards and then watching them slowly become an incredibly twisted person before the end of the game. Humor. The humor in the game is sort of vulgar and sometimes random. Some cards appear innocent until you find a perfect spot to put them and some just appear flat out racist and the only thing keeping it from being racist is because everyone is insulted at some point. If you don't have a relatively twisted sense of humor this probably isn't the game for you. Conclusion. It is worth buying. Everyone I have played with seems to want a copy and it is a really good ice breaker when meeting new people as long as you know they will go along with it. You don't want to take it into a super religious or proper household but it is a ton of fun with friends you know would get the humor in it. It is a great way to form new friendships and learn just how twisted your old friends are. For $25 it is well worth picking up and you will get your money worth out of just one round easily.

Fun game

Fun game for party night. Love these cards.

If you haven't played this, you haven't lived. This is one of the best adult games of the 21st century, and is fun while drinking, sober, or as an ice breaker. I fully recomend everyone at least try it once.

Bought the version without a country association and somehow got UK version. I was honestly lazy to return. Still good though.

ótimo jogo, divertido com um humor ácido

Este juego es horrible, saca lo peor de de cada quien y por eso lo amo. Lo jugue una vez fuera de méxico con extranjeros de todo el mundo y me gusto mucho. Tenía miedo de que al jugarlo con amigos mexicanos que hablan todos español se perdiera el chiste, pero no, todos mis amigos entienden el ingles asi que no hay problema, de repente hay palabras raras para nosotros, pero nada que una aplicación de diccionario o google imagenes no arregle. Nosotros jugamos en español, cada quien le el significado en español de sus cartas. Es bastante sencillo.

So, as many others have said, this game really has become a favourite of mine. And the reason is more to do with the fact that it can be played without really stressing a lot on strategy or maths. So even when people are tired or a little tipsy (the game works best when people are a bit tipsy) the game is still a hit. The replayability is great as well since the same answers can be used for different questions making it a different play each time. I am considering buying an expansion as well but here is a caveat - You must have people with whom you can play this game with - the tip is to get them tipsy. Good party game - buy it.
