Product Judgement: Cards Against Humanity

    Bored on a Saturday night?  Or a Monday night?  Or any other night of the week? 

    Well that's your problem.  I'd love to help but I'm too busy playing my newest game, Cards Against Humanity.  As the box says, it's a "Party Game for Horrible People."  That was what really sold it for me, because so rarely do I see a game that is specifically targeted towards horrible people like me.  The biggest question wasn't whether to buy it or not, but is it really horrible enough for me?  

    Before I share if it is horrible enough for me, let me explain how to play.  Have you ever played Apples to Apples?  HAHAHAHAHA, I know, I'm hilarious.  Everyone and their mother has played Apples to Apples.  And if you haven't, well, thanks for ruining that little joke for me you big jerk face.  Are you proud of yourself? 

    I digress.  Cards Against Humanity is played exactly like Apples to Apples.  Each player is dealt out 10 cards to start, and then a person is chosen at random to go first and are given the title Card Czar.  The Card Czar then picks a card from the specified black pile (some cards are white, some cards are black, reads it aloud, and the rest of the players choose a card from their hand they feel best answers/fills in the blank of the card chosen.  Then, the Card Czar (I may use that title as often as possible, I like it, so deal with my repetition) chooses which card he/she thinks is best based on whatever criteria they feel is best.  They give the player they think played the best white card the black card and the title of Card Czar moves to the right and play continues.  Play continues until the deck of black cards is exhausted or a pre-determined number of black cards is achieved by a player or until everyone gets sick of playing, though that last option likely won't happen anytime soon. 

    Now, the important question, is the game horrible enough for me?  Let me give you an example of some cards:
Black Card: During sex, I like to think about ___________.  White Cards: Sarah Palin, Homeless People, Goblins, Shooting a rifle into the air while going balls deep in a hog

Black Card: The CIA now interrogates enemy agents by repeatedly subjecting them to _____________? White Cards: A Big Black Dick, Rush Limbaugh's soft shitty body, a plunger to the face, a bigger blacker Dick.

    Excuse me while I wipe a tear from my eye.  I'm just so happy.  These truly are awful cards for an awful person like me.  And what's best, I chose some of the more appropriate cards!  God Bless this screwed up country of ours.  This game is amazing.  You will laugh, you will cry (mainly from laughing) and you will see just how messed up your friends can be.  It is a wonderful time, and if you aren't at least interested in playing this game once, you are wrong. 

    Judgement:  This game is amazing and you should buy it, along with the two expansion packs for a wonderful time.  Nothing brings people together like inappropriate response to inappropriate questions that help reveal how screwed up you and all of your friends are.  Buy this game or bow your head in shame.

  1. As a horrible person, I can attest that it is true: "nothing brings people together like inappropriate responses to inappropriate questions". This is possibly the best thing ever to happen to card games and America.

    I also enjoy how your blog color/theme looks a lot like the CAH branding. It's the small things.
