Cards Against Humanity

Will ruin your life
This is not a review about playing Cards Against Humanity, it’s a review of the fallout endured from playing Cards Against Humanity. Take it as a warning, if you will.If you aren’t a horrible person already, you will soon be. You will play Cards Against Humanity, and as others have said, you will be shocked, appalled, and worst of all, you will learn and adapt. You’ll reach for your smartphone and search for terms you’ve drawn such as “The Übermensch”, “Heteronormativity”, and “The Three-Fifths Compromise”. You will commit these and many other newly-learned words to memory.And that’s where it all comes crashing down.At first, you might allow “front butt” to casually wander its way into a conversation here and there. As more of your subconscious fights to unleash the trauma, you’ll find yourself uttering “nipple blades” and “mouth herpes” in the most unacceptable of times. You’ll visit the Cards Against Humanity website and bomb them with suggestions for new cards like “Cutting the cheese at a funeral” and “Scissoring”.Soon, you will meet up with new people to inflict Cards Against Humanity upon them and they’ll be hooked. You will receive random voicemails and texts, asking for another hit of that “8 oz. of sweet, Mexican black tar heroin”, and you will comply, because you’re just as hooked as they are. They’ll bring new friends in to freshen up the game…you will feel a rush as the look of shame crosses their innocent eyes as they win a round by playing “Amputees” against your “White People Like _____”.”I was just throwing that card away!” they’ll proclaim, but you know the sad truth.You will buy the expansion pack. You will host parties where you play through every card in both boxes. You’ll wonder where the time went. Your face will hurt from laughing so much. Your friends will buy their own sets, and the infection will be passed on.A team of rescue workers will find you you weeks later in your closet, frazzled, emaciated, and stinking from “Soiling Yourself”, because you just couldn’t stop with playing Cards Against Humanity against yourself. The light of day will strike your eyes and you’ll gaze up at your saviors with pensive anticipation…”Wanna play?”

Love
Great game still to break out every now and again

A classic game, and an all around fun playing experience

Cards Against Humanity Review by Dad’s Gaming Addiction
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.

Definitely for ages above 16, but absolutely hilarious game to play with friends

If you have friends with a wicked sense of humor, you should get this. Cards Against Humanity has saved us from boredom more times than I can remember. The card combinations are hilarious and it’s a great way to pass the time. I received the UK edition although I was expecting the US one, but no complaints.

ótimo jogo, divertido com um humor ácido
