Cards Against Humanity

OMG this is the greatest game ever!. It says its a party game which generally evokes an image of a pack of insanely drunk people playing, which is fine as well, no judgement here. I say that because I am in recovery and our recovery crowd sure as hell have learned to have a good time and this game absolutely hits the spot. We take it on our camping trips and play in the evenings and you would have no clue we are all dry enough to be fire hazards with our absolutely raucous, side splitting laughter! We just got back from a camping trip that had added weather related stressors and a dog who had to be taken to the vet (she is ok) so by the time we played this our last night there, it sure lifted our spirits and made our ribs hurt!Its wonderful that there are different cards packs available for whichever level of naughty or humor type. We also love the blank "Your Dumb Jokes" sets because we came up with some hysterical ones to add to the mix and its fun to ball bust your friends via those cards! We have played this game with newly sober people who don't think they could ever have fun again and have watched it give them their first sober gut busting belly laugh. Thank you for this incredibly twisted, hysterical game!

Such a good game. The box has so many cards in it. The box can easily fit in a backpack. Definitely worth the purchase. I'd recommend for anyone who spends time with friends a lot or great for family game night. So addictive.

Cards Against Humanity never fails to get people laughing. The combinations can be completely outrageous, sometimes dark, and always hilarious when played with the right group of friends. It’s easy to learn, plays fast, and works great for parties or game nights.The replay value is huge since the card combos change every time, and expansions are available if you want to keep it fresh. Definitely not a family-friendly game, but if your group has a good sense of humor, it’s a must-have.

It's very big, but it's very fun to play!

Hilarious game, but definitely not for young children. Travels well and quality is good. Can also buy additional cards.

Hilarious and fun!

Cards Against Humanity: 4+ Players, Ages 17+, Average Play Time = 30-90 MinutesThere isn’t much to say about the card art…the game comes packaged in a black box with white text. The cards are similarly designed in that they are either white text on black or black text on white…nothing all that fancy. The manual is very easy to understand, to the point where you can set up and play within seconds of opening the box. Even if you’ve never played “Apples to Apples” or similar games before, it will take you perhaps minutes to learn. The quality of the cards are fair…roughly the same quality as a regular deck of a playing cards in that it’s possible to bend them if you’re not careful.Of course, people who have heard about “Cards Against Humanity” don’t buy it for the card art…rather, they buy it for the content on said cards. In a word, this content is inappropriate. This is one game that you should definitely not introduce to your kids, unless they happen to be over seventeen years of age. The vocabulary by itself is questionable, but some of the combinations that form between the black and white cards can really be…well, let’s just say you wouldn’t (or shouldn’t) repeat them in public. With only 550 cards, the content does tend to repeat after multiple playthrus. Luckily, the game variants listed in the manual serve to mix things up a bit. One variant, for example, eliminates the role of the Card Czar while another introduces an imaginary player named Rando Cardissian (Billy Dee Williams impersonations are optional).As fun as the game is, I’m a bit put off by the price tag. “Cards Against Humanity” is currently retailing for $25.00, all of which grants you a total of 550 cards. When you compare that to “Apples to Apples Jr” (576 cards for $10.00) or “Apples to Apples Party Box” (1,000+ cards for $25.00), it’s hard not to be a bit concerned. The four expansions themselves contain 100 cards each and retail for $10.00 each. If you add all of that up, you’d come to $65.00 for 950 cards…ouch. Suddenly the “Apples to Apples Party Box” is looking much more affordable and appealing. If the card art were superb, I suppose I could justify the higher price tag…as mentioned in the above paragraph, this simply isn’t the case. To be fair, you can download a print and play version for free…though the developers estimate that it’ll cost about ten dollars to print everything and buy a box to contain it. I didn’t have to time to fact check this estimate, though I’m sure savvy shoppers will find ways to beat it.In the end, “Cards Against Humanity” requires a lot of things to be successful. First, you’ll need a group of adults. Second, you’ll need a group of adults who occasionally act like kids. Third, you’ll need a group of adults who have a sense of humor…a REALLY good sense of humor. The more warped the sense of humor, the better. Finally, you’ll need a group of adults who aren’t easily offended. If you can satisfy these requirements and don’t mind the price tag, then you’ll find “Cards Against Humanity” to be an outstanding party game. The more folks playing, the better. It’s best to keep the kids away from this one, due to the adult content listed on the majority of the cards. I’m looking forward to giving this a go during our next family get-together, just to see how other people I know respond to it.
