Cards Against Humanity plays its cards right when you laugh at the things you should not.<\/h6>\n

Cards Against Humanity<\/em> is a card game in which players match a white card containing a noun or an action, such as \u201cBeing a motherfucking sorcerer\u201d, with a black card containing a question or one or more sentences with a blank slot, for example \u201cAin\u2019t no sunshine when she\u2019s ____.\u201d. The cards often contain references to pop culture, nerd culture, celebrities and current events.<\/p>\n

Intended for an adult audience, Cards Against Humanity<\/em> is littered with dark humor \u2013 hence the game\u2019s slogan \u201cA party game for horrible people\u201d. The game embraces a cheeky attitude all around, be it the rules determining the first \u201cCard Czar\u201d of the round as the player who \u201cmost recently pooped\u201d or the rules in case the Card Czar has lobster claws for hands. The game\u2019s success has spawned multiple expansion packs with content ranging from new cards to larger boxes to hold all the cards, and blank cards allowing the players to write their own custom cards. The whole game is also printable as a free PDF online.<\/p>\n

Cards Against Humanity<\/em> is fundamentally a party game, and a hilarious one at that. The game benefits from the customizable cards greatly, and is best enjoyed with a large group of friends \u2013 the recommended number of players ranging from 4 to 20+. The amount and creativity of the players is both the strength and flaw of the game, since it affects the experience greatly.<\/p>\n

The game begins by each player drawing ten white cards, after which the first Card Czar is chosen as detailed above. The Card Czar then plays a black card. The players will answer its question or fill in the blanks with a white card, passing it onto the Card Czar. The Card Czar then reads all the card combinations aloud, choosing the funniest one and awarding the winner an Awesome Point. Afterwards, a new Card Czar is chosen, players restock their hands back to ten cards per player, and the game continues with another round. Some black cards have special rules such as \u201cPlay 2\u201d, the sentences in them containing two blanks in such cases. There are also various optional \u201chouse rules\u201d containing everything from small tweaks to larger alterations to the gameplay. There are no specific \u201cwinning conditions\u201d, the objective is to simply have fun. This encourages spontaneous play with no need to \u201cfinish\u201d the game, being able to stop anytime.<\/p>\n

Having played the game multiple times, I feel its novelty has worn off slightly by now. The expansions do spice up the game with new cards, but the initial first-time experience provided the most hilarity \u2013 many players seem to agree on this. The game is still enjoyable afterwards, especially with different players having different joke preferences.<\/p>\n

Simple to learn and infinitely customizable, Cards Against Humanity<\/em> is sure to provide hours upon hours of laughter for players seeking to throw political correctness out of the window.<\/p>\n
