The Funniest Game for the Whole Family & Parties - Cards Against Humanity

Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people. 

Unlike most of the party games you've played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends. 

The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a Black Card, and everyone else answers with their funniest White Card.

This is not just an apples to apples deck filled with anne frank cards. The basic structure of the game is the same as Apples to Apples, but there's so much more to it. I've played wiith a bunch of distinct groups of people... a lot of whom start the game by ranting their hatred for apples to apples. But once we start everyone wants to play until they run out of cards. This includes the game I played with my family and my 80 year old grandmother (although explaining some of the cards to her was definitely awkward).

There's a real art in how the question and answer cards fit together. It honestly feels like you're all sitting around telling jokes. At a certain point the game comes alive and as you play various rounds the humor of the group you're in seeps into the game. It feels creative. So yes the mechanic is basically ripped from apples, but they've taken it and truly made something new out of it. You and your friends will love this game.

    As a Kickstarter supporter of this game, I got my copy in the mail a couple weeks ago. But as you can see from the "Verified Purchase" badge on this review, I bought a second copy here. Is there any higher praise in the modern world than giving someone money? I say that there is: giving someone more money.

    You want me to say something about the game itself?

    Cards Against Humanity has an absolutely universal ability. Play it with a group of friends long enough and everyone winds up offended at one point. It is also a great game to help you get to know people you thought you knew. "Wait, why do you think 'Road Head' is an acceptable answer to '________. Kid tested, mother approved.'?"
