Cards Against Humanity, and they mean it.

***********  Impropriety Warning, this is your last chance to skip this blog ****************

Ok, It's raunchy, it's wrong, and it's so far from politically correct that even saying politically correct anywhere near it is offensive.  If your crowd of friends feels strongly enough about some particular savior supporting their afterlife that they can't handle jokes about it, or if you have to put away your porno mags before they come over, then this game is really not for them.

This game is similar to apples to apples in that one (black) card is played from the deck and other (white) cards are played from players hands to apply to it.  For example, "_____, Kid tested, mother approved." is one of the black cards, and the idea is to play the white cards, which are nouns, to make the funniest combination.  You might play "Waffles" but then you're not going in the theme of the game.  More likely you'll get cards played like "A big black penis" or "Golden Showers" or "Natalie Portman." (hey, that would be a nice Episode 1 joke)

The game is for 4 or more players, and the "win" condition isn't really outlined.  You play a black card, everyone else plays a white card, then you pick one who wins and they get the black card in a score pile, and then the next person goes.  It's for the perverse and disturbed to make off-color jokes and inappropriate comments using the veil of a game, and if you have a dark sense of humor, then it can be truly a hysterical game.


If you like dirty jokes, and can handle racially slanted humor, along with your friends, then this might be for you.  If not, then be proud of yourself. It means you're a good person, because even the maker of this game agrees that it's "A party game for horrible people."
