CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY

The game is fun to play with a group of friends, and I bring it to any social event.

This is recommended for ages 17+. I brought it to a family dinner, knowing that the two kids, ages 11 and 14, would vacate to the basement after dinner to play on their computers. The somewhat precocious 14-year-old overheard that I had Cards Against Humanity and made it clear that while he had never played or even seen the game, he knew enough about it that he wanted to play if his parents would give him permission. They did, and what ensued was hilarity, but even better, it opened channels for discussion about sex, politics, justice, racism, homophobia and all the things that exist in society, and when things are funny and when they are not. What made breakthrough shows like South Park and The Simpsons funny when they premiered was their seeming inappropriateness, but they too broached topics that ought to be discussed by parents and children. In an age when information is available 24/7, along with misinformation, this may be the opportunity for families who value open discussion, education and critical thinking to open the door to those discussions. There’s so much for parents to teach to and learn about their kids, and to a degree, vice-versa. It’s not for everyone, but this family found it hilarious and vital. I wish there had been a way to have these discussions with parents or another responsible adult when I was a young teenager and had to find out what I could from a 1957 Encyclopedia Brittanica and a Webster’s Dictionary.

We have friends that have this game so we finally invested in it. Great times with great friends. Be prepared, they get Vulgar, but that makes it more fun.

My sister’s boyfriend is always hard to shop for. He has a lot of hobbies but I don’t know him well enough to know what he wants or needs. Candy or beer are safe bets but how often can you do that before it’s evident you’re phoning it in? I’d given him so many boring gifts that he wasn’t exactly chomping at the bit to open the box this time but when he did, bingo! He read the directions, laughed, read a few cards to himself, laughed again, read some aloud (things that I was mortified to have my parents hear but luckily I think a lot was outside their vocabulary), and laughed some more. My sister reports that he and his friends and neighbors have played the game several times around the backyard fire pit. The game is basically an adult version of Apples to Apples but I think he and his friends have developed their own rules and like it just fine.This was a great gift for a sociable kind of person who enjoys lighthearted, adult, slightly or greatly offensive humor I don’t know how I’m going to top it next year. Thank goodness they make expansion packs.

Let’s be honest, it’s not for the faint of heart. But if you’re a little corrupted, you’ll enjoy it.

My whole family loves it! We play at parties and we got the extended packages too! So fun

Cards Against Humanity is a staple. It’s not the best game in the world, but it’s a solid one during holidays with multiple generations of family or with a group of friends. I used to play it as a drinking game in college back in the day and it’s still a solid choice even a decade later.

I have yet to meet a person who doesn’t love this game…but then I would be hesitant to suggest playing this game to my grandma. As other reviewers have described, this is essentially the Apples to Apples experience you WISH you had, where it’s no longer about innuendos but gets straight down to the most crude, awkward, embarrassing, literally rolling-on-the-floor-laughing-your-…buttocks…-off matchups possible. From “a stray pube” to “the token minority,” these cards violate every social ethic and politically correct sensibility known to man. If you’re looking for a great adult party game for after the kids go to bed, this is the product for you. If you have no kids and are looking for a unique experience after a few beers that doesn’t risk criminal charges, this is DEFINITELY the product for you.If you’re easily offended, I recommend 

Apples to Apples Party Box – The Game of Hilarious Comparisons (Family Edition)

.Pros:-Easy to learn, and open to a thousand variations of house rules.-Cards are about as a durable as a decent poker deck.-Tears, laughter, groans, high-fives, jokes, jokes, and more jokes.-Justifiably endorsed by gaming guru and geek god Wil Wheaton as the “Best. Game. EVER.” (DISCLAIMER: He may or may not excessively use the word “Best” in describing the things he loves)-Easiest way to liven up a party. Guaranteed.Cons:-May make you rethink your life.-Must be hidden from children and well-meaning but overly-sensitive relatives.-Uh…it sucks when you lose? But you still get a good laugh out of it!

This game is hilarious, but not for everyone. If your not at least a little twisted, this isn’t for you. If you are, this is a blast with like minded people!

Then you’ll LOVE CAH. Nothing left to say.

Finally got my own copy n 1 add on…. Still so many things to by CaH

Overall one of the best games I’ve had. I’m a college student and it’s super fun to have in the dorms. Met a lot of new people freshman year because I owned this and people would come over with their friends to borrow it. I also recommend playing this in pairs so two people are on a team and they choose a card to put forth. Found this to be much more fun.APPROPRIATE AGE + GIFTING:This game has a lot of terms that would be inappropriate for children or preteens (depending on the teen). I would generally recommend this for people 16+. Wouldn’t really recommend parents to get this for their kids for Christmas or something since it is inappropriate and may be weird if it was from a parent/relative. Definitely a terrific gift to give a friend or yourself!STILL FUN AFTER A YEAR:I really liked Apples to Apples, which is why I got this. I tried playing Apples to Apples again after having this for a year and it’s not even fun anymore compared to this haha. I will say that I’ve played this multiple times and it continues to be fun, but novel cards are the most interesting. Cards against Humanity offers expansion packs for a reasonable price so those that play a lot can continue to get new cards. I haven’t bought any of these yet and still find the game to be fun. It really depends on who you play with!

This game is absolutely great. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as hard in my life as I have while playing this game, many times. As other reviews suggest, it’s not really for kids because it’s a little inappropriate. I agree with this. But nevertheless, this game is great and will provide you many hours of entertainment. People will want to play this game when you have a get together. The only thing about this game is that it gets kind of old after a while. I have played this game a lot, and after you’ve heard the cards about three or four times, they start to not be funny anymore. You know all of them and you know what could be funny, so it’s hard to top that. The way to combat this is to get the expansions. Yes it’s more money, but it is definitely worth it. Also, what I’ve just recently discovered through playing with other peoples’ sets is that the base sets of this game are not all the same. Some of them come with different cards. This was a very pleasant surprise to me. So, if you want to make this game even more fun, get your friends to get it, or buy multiple sets, and use a different set each time.

This game is such a good time! Use it for a drinking game often and it’s always hilarious.

Played this tones in school love it with family now

When I got it and saw the label “updated for 2021”, I was nervous that it would go soft, but no… It is stays spicy as it should be with new jokes and content!!! Kudos for that!

I played for the first time on New Year’s Eve with my family, we were all above 18 and had a blast

Cards Against Humanity is an awesome fun game. (Adults only) you defiantly want to order expansion packs also. If you have a dirty or obscure mind this is the game for you!

I love this card game. I’m astonished at the reviews complaining about it not being appropriate for kids. Ummm…. Research your games before buying them???? This is NOT a kids game!For ADULTS who like dark and “inappropriate” humor, you’ll love this game.

I recently had a summer kick-off party at my house and a friend of my suggested we play this game. I was a little hesitant in buying it because for one, I never heard of the game and two, it was a little expensive for a card game. BUT, I really did want to try it out after reading the reviews. I ordered it on a Tuesday and to my surprise, it was at my door by Wednesday! Thanks Amazon! 😉 Anyways, this game is everything and more. My friends and I were laughing playing CAH throughout the night! There were some questions that were really random and questions that we can’t believe were part of a card game! (Be careful when playing this game in front of children). In the game, you can also make up your own rules (or use the ones they have). One rule we made up is that if you want to get rid of a card (some cards were either hard to understand or not funny), you would have to take a shot of tequila to get rid of it and pick a new card out of the deck. And by the end of the night, some of my guests were undeniably drunk. So buy this game if you have trouble being a host and want to break the ice among your friends! It’s worth it. I’ll be buying the expansion packs ASAP!

This is one hilariously fun, adult themed card game that will generate tons of laughs and will be your go to party game for your future endeavors. It’s moderately priced at around $25 via Prime, but the price of admission was totally worth it for me and my friends.Overview:Cards Against Humanity is a party game for adults where players try to win the favor of the current “Card Czar” by playing a white card that answers the question or completes the statement posed by a black card. The outcome is usually hilarious, with tons of possible outcomes!Positives:- Great game for a group of 4 or more players. Generally the more players the better.- Little to no downtime.- The game is extremely simple to pick up and play.- There is a large variety of cards, both white and black, so the game is very replayable with tons of possibilities.- One of the funnest, most hilarious party games that I have ever played, and is the perfect option for parties/college/etc.Negatives:- You will need at least four people to play this title. Any less and the game becomes a little boring.- This is not a game for youngsters or up tight folks, recommended 18+ here.- The standard set costs around $25, and add-ons will set you back another $20 for each set.I simply love this card game, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a go to party game option for 18+ individuals looking to have a great time.

What a relief to discard the facade and just be myself, and while doing so, have the pleasure of watching my friends shed their own layers of proper conduct. When permission is tacitly given – these are the rules of the game and must be followed — it is amazing how quickly socially acceptable behavior/thinking freely drops away in search of the best punchline.Set up is fast and rules are minimal. The Card Czar (judge) holds a black card that contains a phrase needing completion. Each player has ten white cards, and selects one they think best finishes the phrase. The judge makes the final determination and that player wins the hand. The game is flexible to shorten or lengthen, etc.. Not a game for children.Am I a despicable person? I didn’t realize it before, but given my rude and unthinkable selections made during play, without question I am, but there is some comfort in the knowledge that my friends are horrible, too. It is difficult to get too upset about it because, as noted above, it was not within our control. We had to choose from the cards dealt – it wasn’t our fault. Normally we would never… Well, maybe it was our fault, but so what.

Cards Against Humanity…what can I say about it? Well for starters this game is basically like Apples to Apples same concept, but with much raunchier content. This game will brings laughs out of everyone playing this game. I will say this though…. play this game with people who find toilet humor, and sexual content, racism, religion, etc funny to joke about. If you have people who are prudish uptight or very religious, or don’t like hearing about Male genitalia a lot, then this game is not for them! Best is when you get more than 4 people to play…the bigger the group the better. People on the ratings say that a bigger group you go through a lot of same cards quickly and this game is not every repayable after a couple of rounds. This is true however, this game is made to expand that’s why they have the expansion packs. I love this game and I own every expansion pack they have, which makes the game much more interesting. To anyone who is on the fence about getting this game, GET IT! I promise you it will bring a lot of laughs and creativity to come out. Also GET ALL THE EXPANSION PACKS! It is worth it and not to mention makes a party game last longer. My final advice even though kids 17 and under probably know what some of this content in the game is, it is meant for more of an adult crowd, not something to be playing with you 13yr old.

I’ve been trying to get a hold of this game in local shops for ages before finally caving and ordering it online. I’m glad I did, because playing it was a blast. The hundreds of other reviews sum up its awful humour so I’ll just get to a brief product review.This set comes in a surprisingly small, neat box with a basic rule sheet. There are no blank white or black cards, so you’ll need to get an expansion or make/order your own if you were expecting any. The cards that come with only just fit into the box, so if you are planning on getting expansions later on you’ll either have to keep them in a separate box or perhaps order the “expansion box” to store them. I plan to get one of the expansions ASAP since after one game of about an hour and a half, the four of us went through all the black cards. That being said, this game thrives on the variety of combinations so don’t fret if you go through all the black cards in one go like we did. Just mix them up and keep going.

The concept of the game is excellent: Apples 2 Apples (Except the Apples are foul and rotten to the core). I usually bring this when we have game night or parties and we have a blast with it…for the first 15 minutes. We tend to run into problems where our hands just don’t have anything good for an answer and just make no sense, therefore creating an awkward feeling like someone just told a bad joke. There are times though when it is down right hilarious.Weighing out the pros and cons:The Good-The product itself comes with a wide variety of questions/fill-in-the-blanks and tons of answer cards. The cards are decent quality material and the instructions are plain as day…somewhat (i’ll explain in the “Not-So-Good).Setup is fast and normal game time lasts 20 minutes±. The first 15 minutes everyone starts off very motivated and really into it, reading off the cards as directed and we all have a blast. Great for parties/icebreakers/game night. All in all, it’s simple, east to learn/play, and great with friends.The Not-So-Good-One thing that has always irked me about the instructions was that they never had any implication as to how to determine a winner. It’s not a big deal since we usually decide a point limit, but it just kind of lingers over my head.After we get into the game, 15 minutes later it tends to get old. We are just flipping over all the answer cards and not even reading aloud making the game a bit lackluster.THE DOUBLE/TRIPLE ANSWER CARDS!!-Though fun and innovative for players, no matter how many times we explain and decide what card should be read first, the reader always gets it wrong.Final Thoughts-The cons don’t really lower the value of the product by much, but it does have its flaws which is why I took a star off the review. The game IS fun for a while, especially for newcomers, but it tends to get old after a few plays. If you have a sick sense of humor as well as your friends, this is the game for you.

I purchased this plus the extension as soon as it came back in stock (ie. within minutes). I have only had the opportunity to play it once in a group so far, but let me tell you. By the end of our gaming session, you would have thought that we all had tuberculosis. We were all literally coughing, sore, and in pain from laughing so hard. Some rounds we had to stop and take 15 minutes to cool off, only to ruin our lungs again afterwards.I do not recommend playing this in earshot of minors or old people. In fact, keep this away from family at all costs. There is a lot of delicious vulgarity and explicitness that might make grandma disown you. This is an ideal 18-24 game, provided you have non-PC friends. There are plenty of cards to play for a decent amount of time, and you’ll be glad when you stop because it hurts so good.In a group of 4, we adjusted the rules such that each player puts 2 cards in the pool instead of 1 to add more variety. In this way the leader of the round would have 6 cards to choose from instead of 3. We would play by normal rules for 2 or 3 part rounds. That strategy worked out well, but you will go through the entire deck faster.Overall this is probably one of my best purchases on Amazon so far, and I’m a power user. If you think you and your friends are up to it, you will not be disappointed.

This horse has been beaten to death, but if there needs to be one more 5 star review to convince you I will take that bullet. I’ve played this game with the most irreverent groups, and the most introverted and it’s been a hit all around. I still only have the base game, but we have enjoyed endless re-playability with it. I definitely plan on expanding it, but I don’t feel motivated right now because there is SO MUCH GAME to begin with. By choosing your goals for the end of the game, you get to decide whether this is a half hour game, or two and a half. Most games that I’ve played have started short and we just keep extending the goal line because we’re having such an awesome time.The game recommends 4 players minimum, but my friends play with three as well. Instead of the standard rules of keeping card submissions anonymous, the two opposing players speak their cards out loud, allowing them to sell their description to the player deciding the winner. It adds a theatrical flair to the game, and help make sure that your intention with the cards (especially multi-card combo’s) aren’t lost. That might help decrease the amount of players needed to play, hopefully encourage more people to buy Cards Against Humanity… I just freakin’ love this game.Buy it, and I promise you will not be disappointed.

This game is so fun to play with your friends… it is hilarious.Have a few drinks and it becomes even funnier. Good times-

Oh the Humanity!Buy it. You are a horrible human being. You know it. You wanted it. The humanity is against you and you are against all humanity! All you need now is wit, darkness, twist of evil and genius, and a bit of luck.You will have hours and hours of fun. This game has extremely HIGH replay-ability. You can play it 5 times in a day without repeating the cards or repeating a scenario. Again, EXTREMELY HIGH replay-ability. The more people, the more fun, the more twisted, the more horrible you all are against all there is sane, sacred, and sanctified of humanity!Ok so. Be thick skinned. Be OK with racism. Be OK with sarcasm. Be OK with NON-PC. Be OK with dishing it out and taking it in. Yes, the game is SO WRONG on SO many levels. And yet that’s why you want to buy it. And yet that’s why it is.. fun.Don’t be upset by it. Know what you are getting into. After you get past that .. gosh.. It is sooo wrong and sooo fun..P.S.Recommended for adults. Obviously for two reasons:1. It’s got adult themes.2. Eh, if you aren’t 25 or 30 years of age, you just won’t get it. Not likely a generic teen knows about the struggle of Africa. This game draws a lot of references.. a LOT. It is really not that fun if you don’t get it.

Good gift.

So for those that haven’t got a clue what this game is…it’s Apples to Apples, but for adults. This is not a game for your children, unless you’re a horrible parent.Gameplay: Each player grabs 7 or so white cards. Each round, one player grabs a black card. The black card has either a question, or it has a statement with one or two fill-in-the-blanks. The other players in the game pick the white card or cards (if there’s two fill-ins) and put them in a pile. When all cards are in, the player who pulled the black card reads off the pile of white cards (without knowing who put them in) and chooses their favorite. Some people go with the funniest card, others go for what makes the most sense. Each player plays different, and when turning in the white card, you have to play to how you feel each player picks the winning card. Whoever’s white card is chosen gets the black card. After each hand, everyone draws a new white card or two to always keep 7 in their hand. Play until you’re bored and whoever has the most black cards wins the game.Optional Rules: This is one thing that makes this game awesome. You can always make up your own rules. And if you have the creativity of E.L. James, the game supplies some rules for you. One of my favorites is Rando Cardissian. Basically, each round, you throw in an extra white card to the pile. That way, if the person picks that card as the best, everyone else feels like an idiot for getting beat by a random card from the deck. Another good one (forget the name) is that if you pick up a white card and you don’t know what it means or get the reference, you can flip it over face up for all players to see and admit that you don’t know what it is. After that, the other players are encouraged to ridicule you for being so dense, and can then explain what the card is. That way, we can all learn! Yay education!As of writing this review, you can still be a cheapskate and print out your own deck for free from their website. However, your friends will mock you, so just shell out the dead presidents and buy the game. You’ll be happy you did when someone spills their beer on a pile of cards and they aren’t instantly ruined.And one last thing. BUY THE EXPANSION PACK! It’s definitely worth it. As with any game of this type, it can get dull after you’ve seen each card 30 times. The more cards you have at your disposal, the longer enjoyment you’ll get out of this game.

I liked it because it was truly funny and everyone had a lot of laughs from 26 to 66. It is hard to find a good game that will cover that age range. Plus, it is a quick game. We incorporated it into New Year’s Eve activities. We played at a New Years Eve party for 50-60 year old, but my 26 year old son joined us for that game because he was dying to play. I bought 5 for various people and a 27 year old male teacher at my school said, “it was a very thoughtful gift”. We never exchange but this game just suits some people’s personalities to a T.Did take out 3 cards. 1 I found offensive (kids with ass cancer) is never funny. 2 I just did not want to explain to people that would not know and would find offensive ( extreme sex references). The reference to the director of the Sixth Sense few people got and there was two cards on him. So 5 out of hundreds was not bad for censuring.It more than met my expectations. Bought one for myself but gave it to my neighbor that laughed at every card. So, I will order a couple more. It would make a good grab gift.

Holy crap… playing this game has got to be one of the funnest experiences I’ve ever had. I couldn’t talk because I was laughing so hard, with tears rolling down my face and no ability to calm down. Holy crap that was funny, and I can’t wait to play again.Of course, your level of enjoyment will depend on your sense of humor, and that of those around you. There’s some pretty awful cards in there that could seriously damage your reputation if word of them got out into public. Yes, some are dirty, so you won’t want to play with any family members. Yes, some are vulgar, so kids can’t be around. Yes, some are just plain wrong and allow you to target the handicapped, homosexual or minorities (all in the name of humor), so you really have to be careful about who you’re playing with. But holy crap, it can get so goddamn funny!An absolute must-have for any grown-up party involving alcohol (again, not recommended for families). I want to invite people over JUST TO PLAY THIS GAME, because since I played for the first time, nothing else has been able to make me laugh quite the same.Oh, it is so goddamn funny.

I bought this game after my kid showed me videos of people playing it. It looked as though it would be a game of constant laughs. Turns out 3/4 of the deck of cards aren’t even funny. Maybe I just have too dirty of a mind but if it’s a game for wrong people, all the cards should give a wow moment. It has the chance to be an incredible game but there just has to be more funny cards. Oh and there are cards this game could have done without Kika! Cards like KkK, white privilege, racially and politically offensive cards. Come on! We live in world being separated by stuff like this. You can be funny and dirty without that. That’s not funny at all guys. Overall I was a bit let down by the lack of naughty cards that left the room laughing. We literally went through the draw cards and pulled all the good cards out and played only with them. That made a great game!

If you are “conservative,” never laugh at fart jokes and think “stinking” is a swear word, this game is not for you. You will hate it. I promise.If you are amused by the totally inappropriate, however, then this is the game for you. The people who gave this one star…I’m so sorry you don’t like this game. I’m so sorry you think it’s for 13 year olds (because I have a 13 year old and I wouldn’t let her anywhere near this game). This is seriously the most fun I’ve ever had playing a game. It’s mobile and you can bring it everywhere (and you should). It’s inappropriate and you actually won’t even understand what some of the questions mean or what the answers are…but it doesn’t matter!DO NOT SPEND MORE THAN $25 ON THIS GAME! It’s just that popular that when it goes out of stock people will sell it for upwards of $85. Just wait for it to get back in stock. Can’t wait? (and seriously, you shouldn’t wait) You can actually download your own cards from the website and make your own game.Everyone I’ve played this with has went out and gotten their own set. I just gave a set to my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas (although we could not play after dinner because my mom never laughs at fart jokes and once slapped me for saying “freaking”). Yes, it’s Inappropriate Apples to Inappropriate Apples…but it’s ridiculously fun, give it a try.

This game is a wonderful thing to play for a mature audience, people are complaining about it being inappropriate but that is kind of the whole point. An adult spin off of a classical game like what do you meme. The box itself does say Cards AGAINST humanity (A game for horrible people) so the fact you guys are complaining about it makes no sense10/10 amazing game to play

So much fun to play and super funny with some of the things it says

Holy wow. My sister bought this game long, long ago (realistically, maybe two or three years; I honestly have no clue when she did) and by product of association and proximity, I ended up playing it with her and some other family (thankfully, siblings only). It was awesome.Fast forward a few years.Enter: college life.Enter: extra spending money.Enter: “Hey guys, have you ever heard of Cards Against Humanity? No? Well, have I got something to tell you about!”Enter: I bought the game.Eventually I got a group of friends (five of us in total) to sit down and play a round. We went to fifteen black cards to win (I won because I’m hilarious or evil or something. I’m still not sure, really), and everyone had a great time. The format is similar to Apples to Apples, but the different playing styles (the basic style is still my favorite) keep the game interesting and unique. Even the issue of constantly running over the same cards is addressed by the company releasing multiple expansion packs.As great, wonderful, and life changing as the game is, I do have a few caveats for those interested.First, is that this game is absolutely, horribly, disgustingly, beautifully, brilliantly, gloriously filthy. Seriously. I’m warning you here and now that this game is ridiculously warped. Are there worse things you could do than play this game? Probably not.Second, as a result of the glorious filth that is CAH, playing this game, especially for extended periods of time, will probably cause you to adapt to its filthiness and make you think of the phrases on the cards, and possibly use those phrases in real life. You will probably find yourself making a joke and then realize that you have unfortunately just made a horrible, awful, very bad CAH inspired joke in front of a professor, parent, friend, or co-worker. That can be awkward. But, it’s so very, very worth it, because it’s hilarious to pull that crap.Third, be careful who you play this with. It has the potential to end friendships before they even start.Fourth, this game is incredibly addicting. Like, it’s more addicting than whatever you think is addictive. Seriously, think of something you know is addictive. Yeah. way more addictive than that.In conclusion, stop reading reviews and buy the game already. You’ll hate (thank) me later.

It was on my friend’s wish list so I got it for her. She was delighted!

I’ve played this game so many times with friends and family. Nearly everyone I know owns it so I didn’t bother buying my own deck until now. I’m so glad I did though. Building your own deck up with expansions is pretty amusing. As soon as this game was released, it became an instant classic. If you haven’t played it, have a good sense of humor, and like to cross the line, buy it. And every expansion you can find. Because the laughs and time spend with friend and family is worth it. There aren’t any cards I think are “too much” in the original. So expansions are completely necessary. I will say I won’t let the kids play with us though. I think 15+ is appropriate (with expansions) The core game is probably fine for like 13+ imo.Other than that, its a quality made game on good, heavy weight card stock. A slightly laminated feel to it, so go ahead play it with your alcoholic friends/family with no worries.

While I had been a fan of Apples to Apples for some time before the advent of Cards Against Humanity, I was not fazed by those who cried ripoff: Cards Against Humanity is a much better game overall, assuming you are able to play with a crowd not concerned with its profanity and raunchiness. The release of expansion packs has also helped keep this game fresh over time, though this initial set contains far more cards and is an important starting point for any would-be Cards player.The crash course on gameplay is that players take turns drawing a black card, to which the remaining players must play a white card in their hand (or multiples in the case of some black cards, an innovation over Apples to Apples) that best matches or completes the card. The player who drew the black card then judges which white card(s) they think win, and the player who played them gets a point.Gameplay may be fairly simple, but it combines a lot of the utter ridiculousness of games like Mad Libs with a strong dose of great adult humor and is a perfect party game that’s become a favorite among a lot of my friends.It is worth noting that they offer a print-out of all of the cards completely free on their website, but these come printed on high-quality glossy card stock, just like a nice set of classic playing cards, making it well worth the premium.

I knew when I read the terrible reviews for this game I knew it was for me! And I was right, my children and I have a great sense of humor and very dark humor, we love stand up comics that are controversial & are on the edge & can be very dark. I knew we would love love love this game and we do!! Dear Grandma, do not buy this game for your teenage granddaughter hence the name Cards Against Humanity. I am 60 years old, my children & their significant others range from 26-35 & we love playing this game. If you have a sense of humor & are not so uptight about every little thing, get this game, pour yourself a drink, unwind and have a good time. My advice to the makers of this game, instead of using the 5 stars reviews to sell this game I advise you to used the one star bad reviews to sell this product because that’s what really sold me!

If you have a surly sense of humor and don’t get offended easily, you will love this game. It is much like the game apples to apples, with a much more modern adult spin to it. Excellent game for those looking to add a bit of personality to “game night” – however, depending on your crowd, you should really consider whether it may be appropriate. I’ve played it with a priest who thought it was the funniest thing he’s ever seen, while on the other side of the coin I’ve played it with 20-somethings who were extremely offended by how crude some cards were. But it really just depends on your own crowd – so just consider this before bringing it out!It’s a great game to play for both situations of casual game players: – For groups where you DON’T know the players very well, as you will get to know them and their sense of humor rather quickly. – For groups where you DO know the players very well, as you will be able to play cards suited to each player’s tastes and humor.In some cases, if you play with a lot of people, you may run out of cards pretty quickly (or at least cards that you may have already used/seen before). So using the blank cards is key, or actually getting the expansion sets. I highly recommend using the blank cards, adding your own, and also purchasing the expansion sets.Have fun!P.S. If at some point you wander onto the CAH website, and you happen upon their store which offers an opportunity to BUY something you think can’t possibly be real – well, it is. It actually is – and if you purchase, say….a box of taurine fecal matter – that is EXACTLY what you are going to get. You’ve been warned!

This game has never been for kids. With that out of the way. Has your 13 year old kid been into vampires that were not the twilight kind since she was five. Jack Skellington at 2? Old fashioned Chevy Impala ( and never a Ford at our house), carry on my wayward sun, Sam and Dean, Supernatural, Squid Games, (dad watched all, I watched 3)Christmas Vacation, upbringing? Also loves Marley and Me, Frost, Elf, Fred Clause, Bad Moms Christmas.Take a three year old boy to Gettysburg. Answer questions about green men “ghosts”, (color blind but not wrong here).Are they bothering you?No, they are lost.Ok, let them do what they have to.”They won’t hurt me mom.”Easy and talented in everything he tried since a young age. Now too smart for this game.This is not for everyone. We are Christians, but sinners. Enjoying our children, where they are at can be super enlightening. Learning more about each other is always fun. You can gauge where everyone’s sense of humor is at. A good who is like who? Again, keep up with your own maturity level. Just remember to read how this one is rated before complaining about not family friendly.

I bought this for me, my wife Shelby (a 15 year-old Bosnian prostitute with an inaudible speech impediment) and my two boys Marcus and Brenda. Marcus is nine years old and he is my favorite child. He writes poems and forms pentagrams in the living room and sacrifices small rodents for his blood rituals. He’s such an overachiever! My son Brenda, who is six, got his name from the mailman’s grandmother Olga’s best friend during the war’s third cousin. Regardless I hate him and I don’t want to go any further.We got this game promptly in the mail four days after we ordered it which is impressive considering we live in a small farm village inhabited by mostly woodland creatures and marionette puppets with no strings. My wife Shelby mumbled some inaudible nonsense and I figured it was some fit of lack of oxygen to the brain. However, to my surprise, the package had arrived.We played this game for seven or eight days on end with no food or water. We did, however, cook meth in between games. My son Marcus started performing a ritual and split the earth beneath us and spawned demons from hell. I was shocked and I feared I might actually have to punish Marcus by mercilessly beating his little brother Brenda as I have in the past. However it turned out the demons were just coming to remind us that we all were indeed going to hell for playing this game. So we all had tea and the demons eventually abated after playing a few games and deeming it “not tasteful”. Those demons are really sensitive…Anyway, it’s a fantastic game. And me and the boys still play it. Their mother went missing in the woods about a week ago but she’ll be back soon.. Or not.

Too political! They should have left it to the original version!

What a great way to break up a night or even schedule a night to play Cards Against Humanity with a bunch of friends. It is guranteed that at some point while playing Cards you will laugh so hard you will cry and sometimes it’s not just from Cards, but from your friends reaction to why their cards weren’t chosen followed by their attempt to persuade you why you should have chose their cards. Cards is not politically correct, which is awesome, Cards is vulgar, and Cards is inappropriate. This does not imply that you will be shouting slurs or nasty names at your friends and it is not to deter potential customers from purchasing or playing this game simply because some of the funniest players of cards are mothers, grandmothers, or stuck-up uncles. We haven’t had a single person dislike Cards after introducing them to cards, rather, they ask where they can purchase cards.In addition to the original pack we have also purchased two expansion packs. This is not because the original was not sufficient or overplayed, rather, expansion packs make it better when you have large groups playing off of the original pack. Buy-it, play it and have fun. You won’t regret it.

Great party game for age appropriate partiers. You have to answer questions with some of the most outrageous answers provided. Fun

Card’s Against Humanity’s tagline is ‘A party game for horrible people’ is undoubtedly the easiest way to describe this ridiculous and fantastic card game. Drawing inspiration from Mattel’s “Apples to Apples”, the game is played by a judge or ‘Card Czar’ (determined by who had pooped most recent in the group playing) placing a white card that states a prompt or phrase, and the players placing down relevant and random black cards that range from ludicrous to wildly inappropriate. Whoever the judge favors that round wins, and the process starts anew with a new judge.The black cards are mostly hilarious, and the white cards are funny enough on their own. The combination of the two creates a unique environment that will have all the players laughing for hours.The only design flaw of the game is the limited content. Obviously nothing can be limitless, but I’ve found that after anywhere between 10 to 15 games with the minimum four people, most combinations have either been discovered or have already lost their shock value. Luckily, there are a large variety of expansion packs, both official and unofficial, that can remedy this problem.I’d like to recommend this game to anyone who enjoys inappropriate humor, games that can bring an entire family together, and laughing in general. It’s a great game overall, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Dear Amazon Shopper,This game is an excellent choice at parties, particularly given its risque and irreverent humor. Think of it as a combination of Apples to Apples and ad-libbing for adults. I brought this game to the last party I attended and groups of people were crammed shoulder-to-shoulder to get in on the game. It was a very fun and very funny experience and the game was received extremely well by all of the attendees. That being said, these are no more durable than ordinary playing cards and are susceptible to warping when covered in liquid (a fact we learned early on). Larger groups can also run through the entire base game in short order, with the replay value of the game among the same group of people being fairly limited. It is, however, very enjoyable for what it is and is very effective at livening up a party (particularly with a new group of people). The instructions also include ways to vary gameplay in order to squeeze a few extra drops of enjoyment from the deck. Note that expansions are also available for $10 each.All-in-all, you’ve probably put $25 to worse use in the past and for a lot fewer laughs. Cards Against Humanity is a worthy addition to a lively party.

I was curious on whether I should buy this card game since people were talking about it online.At first, I thought this game would be boring or “meh” for my friends.I was wrong.I brought this to my friend’s birthday thinking that this would be just another boring card game. But as my 15 friends and I started playing, the fun couldn’t be contained. We played, played, played, and played, revealing how creative and how screwed up all our minds are. Even my friends who I thought were innocent, nice, sweet, and bubbly, won the game with their most twisted card choices. I will never look at them the same way again.Hours went by as the laughter ensued.We all had fun.The thing is, unless you buy the expansion packs or play only on special party occasions, this game could get old.In addition, I was lucky that my friends don’t get seriously offended because, trust me, some combinations can be.So, don’t play it too much with the same people and don’t play it with the prudish and the easily offended.Please, if you doubt this game, don’t. I think this is one of the best $25 I spent on Amazon ever.

As my 28 y/o daughter said throughout her first time playing this game….”this is so not okay” and “I’m going straight to hell”Definitely not a game for children or young teens or super religious people. But as has become our tradition to take a shot of Fire Ball Whiskey before we play the game. You know you’ve ventured into some things you have been thinking and some that you haven’t ever thought of before! A great tension buster, a bonding game to say the least. We were introduced to this game during a family wedding weekend and although my 17 year old told me about the game a few days prior it’s not a game you expect. Everyone asks “have you played Apples to Apples before”, (for me NO), it’s off the chart hysterical, vulgar and creative. Think MadLibs times infinity and so politically incorrect!! We opted for the first two expansions because we played the 3rd expansion at the family get together. I thought just the original game itself was hysterically funny. We’ve made some of our own rules up….having 7 cards instead of 10 is easier to manage, and our next game will somehow encompass being able to play the re-up card beings that card always seems to be the perfect card for the question card that was just presented. I am not a crude person nor am I a prude this card game is a “let your hair down and get comfy kinda game” Make sure you don’t pee your pants.*****DEFINITELY NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AUDIENCES******

This is, hands down, one of the best games I’ve ever played. I’m not just talkin’ about card games, either. I mean all games.Every couple of months when I have one of my house parties, Cards Against Humanity is pulled off the shelf and played. My guests end up with stomach cramps by the time they leave, from all of the side-splitting laughter that goes on during the game. But the momentary pain is worth it. Plus, gut-busting laughter is a great way to burn off some calories from all those PBRs and microbrews we were drinking.If you don’t care about having a nice display box or the beautiful glossy thick official cards, the guys who made C.A.H. give you the option to print out a free copy from their website. I did that initially, out of impatience and anticipation. The card stock self-printed version works, but I eventually upgraded to the official set. I felt better giving some money back to the geniuses who invented this game anyway. It’s well worth the price. I’ve even brought it to friends’ parties and never failed to have at least a couple people convinced to buy their own copy by the time the night was done and we all turned into fat gluttonous pumpkins.The game is perfect with around five to nine people playing. Anything less than that just won’t offer as many funny scenarios. Anything more than that and each round becomes more tedious for the main card holder. But still, it works with a larger or smaller number than my suggestion.Plus, there are now extensions available for the game! Woot!A word of advice: this game is incredibly un-politically correct. It is definitely not for the squeamish of character, weak of heart, or those who don’t have a stomach for profanity or hedonism. You have to have an open-minded sense of humor to use this game to its fullest capabilities. And if you do, you’re going to love it.

Arrived as shown, and its a very fun game

This is rude, crude, and I absolutely love it! It has been a hit with friends and family members. My mom even played, and laughed her butt off. Great game to just sit around and share many, many, laughs with each other! This is a guaranteed game when getting together!I have played this Cards Against Humanity so many time since my purchase, and you would think that without purchasing any other expansions by now it would become boring and repetitive, but not at all. I have played many times with the same people, and we laugh all night. The initial question to begin the game is the icebreaker every time; you would have to be a fly on the wall to see how crazy it is for us to determine who goes first! There may be other influences while playing, but the game recommends outside influences anyway! We have even adapted to be a drinking game from time to time, whatever floats your boat on this. No limitations or restrictions, other than having a great time with the people around you. My Aunt played recently; she is pushing the age somewhere between 65-70 years old. She did better than anyone else sitting there. She sat down, and brought her A-game for a first timer! She had some of the funniest comebacks! It was absolutely hilarious and painfully funny. Tears…tears of constant painful laughter. This is seriously a game anyone with an open mind can enjoy, and those “stick in the muds” will be discovered sitting somewhere sulking. Anyone can have fun with this; you just have to give it a chance! Cards Against Humanity is a hit with every friendly event!

This game is a blast and I have been playing it for a good seven or eight years but be warned if you get offended by anything you’re going to get upset and end up leaving it a one star review. The reviews on this are hilarious to me and I can definitely see why cancel culture is a thing now, y’all can’t take a joke.

This is by far the best game I’ve ever played in my life. Fun to play with friends and you get a really good laugh. It has been requested of me to buy expansion packs so I know everyone else likes it too. Also please subscribe to TetePopo123 to get him to 1k subs. And sub to Mr beast and save the trees

Fun card game for adults

I give this to my adult daughter for Christmas. We’ve all had more than a few laughs since

Friends have their own decks but I finally decided to get my own! Got a ton of cards I’ve never seen before.

this is fun to play in detention since I brought this in detention I got another one we can play again next week in detention and again and again

Don’t play this game with your parents. You will hear them say things you can never un-hear. Nobody wants that.If you do have a group of friends, Card Against Humanity can offer a hilarious couple of hours. While some people may be offended by the subject matter in the cards, as long as the group you are playing with are relatively open-minded and not quick to embarrass, it should not be a problem. The game is simple enough to pick up and play, with a few alternate sets of rules provided should the standard version start to feel stale. Our personal favorite is to play by the “Rando Cardrissian” rules (I love that name) wherein a random white card is played as if by an imaginary player. The cards “Rando” plays make an absurd game even more off the wall.At this point with all the expansion packs that are offered, it might be a better idea to try and buy a bundle containing the original game with expansions, however if you just want o give it a try or hear what all the fuss is about, this is a great place to start.

This is game is great. It turns anyone who plays into an evil……..thing. It is a game that rewards the player who makes the weirdest, funniest, worst or terribleist combinations. (New word means most terrible, Patent #1,25,77,3567).This game in a messed up way is like a wigi board. They say a Wigi board opens one to the supernatural. This just opens the doors of Hell and it ensures both you and your family that you really are a bad person and there was a reason why when you were younger none of your girl friends like to bring you home to meet their parents.If you are the type of person to leave a note on someones car saying ” I hope you get another STD” than this game is for you. If you are not that type of person and would one day like to be. Try this game. But if you are none of the above than you are 98% an alcoholic who is not allowed to drive anymore. Than this is the perfect stay at home drinking game with friends. The other 1% are tim tebow fans. And the other 1% those people who honk when there is bumper to bumper traffic..so you can move 7 feet……I KNOW YOU ARE ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!!Good luck. Leave the hard liquor out of this……..and seriously if there is someone who loves you and has never seen your real sense of humor be prepared for dirty looks and judgement….pure judgement. The first time I played I washed my hands after. Great Game.

This game is extremely fun and a great party game! I bought the original set and the Extension Pack 1.The object of the game is for the “player-in-charge”, which rotates each round, to put down a card that often has a blank that needs to be filled in. Each player puts down a card that they feel best fills in the blank and answers the question, as well as what will appeal to the “host’s” personality the most. The host doesn’t see who puts down what card. The host picks their favorite response, and the person who put down that card gets to collect the host’s question card. The person who collects the most question cards wins.Many of these questions and answers are “dirty”, or not PC, so it is not a good idea to play with someone who is easily offended. The more players you have, the more fun the game is.This game is a study in character. You have to know something about each of the players’ personalities and what types of responses would best appeal to them if you want the best shot at winning!

Well a little backstory about this game is that a few months ago I went to a friend’s party and there was a bit of drinking involved. After we all got a little good buzz, a friend got this game out and literally we played this game for 4 hours with almost 20 people. A lot of reading was involved, but boy was it one of the best parties I have been apart of. Seeing the success that this game brought to the event, I had to get this for my own parties. It has been a huge hit at my house since I’ve gotten this game. My parties have always been great, but since I’ve gotten this, everyone goes home talking about my parties and this game in particular for days with their friends.Drinking is certainly NOT necessary (although it is a bit more enjoyable), but an open (and crude) mind is required, however. I have had some people come over that are very “literal” or can’t take the humor out of the more crude cards and it makes the game somewhat lame. However, if you can get a nice sized group with people who love to laugh and perhaps drink, then there is no way you can go wrong with this game.I mean there isn’t too much to say about this game even though it is absolutely fun. The cards are indeed durable, of course as long as no liquids soak them and they are handled properly like regular playing cards. There are plenty of black and white cards for countless hours of replayability. Many of the cards are just hilarious and give very funny vivid images.There are a few issues, however. From what we all saw, there were at least 1 or 2 cards that had typos. I can’t remember them off the top of my hand, but they were indeed typos. At the same time, whatever printed these cards had a slight blip because some of the backs seemed to be printed on twice with a slight deviation and overlapping so it kind of looks like the printed logo has a shadow. Both issues are definitely nothing important and are very minor. However, the one perhaps major gripe I have about this game, is that there are many white cards that kind of appear to just be thrown into the game without too much thought. In short, those particular cards are not very funny, so there will be instances where players will have “burn rounds” especially on the pick 2 or 3 black card rounds so that they can get rid of these “bad” cards. Obviously while playing through the game, some of these more “boring” cards could theoretically be played on certain black cards, however, even then they most likely do not win the round.So despite those setbacks, I still definitely rate this game a 5. I own many board and card games along with many console games that are great for parties, but nothing comes close to the enjoyment that Cards Against Humanity has brought. This game deals with politics, sexuality, racism, sexism, religion, diseases, the bizarre, the handicap, and a few more topics.. So if you feel like you would be offended by such things, then this game would most likely not be for you. However, if you don’t give a crap, can perhaps drop a few drinks down the hole and love to laugh and have a good time, then this game would be perfect for you and similarly minded friends!

clearly you know what this game is by now so just buy it it’s worth it

This game was absolutely just what I needed. I played it a week ago with a friend and instantly I knew I’d found the one game that would be infinitely entertaining.I immediately bought this for my best friend for her birthday, caved and gave it to her a whole month in advance. She sympathized with my plight when playing A2A, trying to be funny but the idiot person picking the cards always took it so damn literal. This game was made for me. No more judgmental stares from other players. In this game, you don’t often find players who are easily offended. Or if they are present, they will have left by the second round (Which is fine by me! More black cards, please!). The end of each round found every one of us curled up into a ball, gasping for air from laughing so hard.All in all, I know what each and every one of my friends and family members who have a darker sense of humor are getting for upcoming holidays and birthdays. It would be terrible to go to someone’s house that didn’t have this game.The one thing I will say is, don’t play this while drinking any form of carbonated beverages, burns like hell coming out of your nose when you listen to what people have picked.

I think they took some of the more raunchy cards out of this game due to complaints or reviews…? My game wasnt near as raunchy as my sons game. All in all, its fun to play on game night though.

These cards are high quality, the game is a lot of fun.

This game is absolutely hilarious. I was somewhat skeptical when I ordered this as a Christmas gift for my brother, who had played it in college. It seemed a bit too much like Apples to Apples, which is a great game too. While in structure it is very much like Apples to Apples, in spirit it is a whole different beast. In case you haven’t played Apples to Apples or don’t understand the products description, you basically have a hand of white cards that have something written on it like a name or action. There are black cards that have a sentence on them with blank spots that you fill in with the words on your white cards. Simple, sort of like adlibs, and it doesn’t sound like much fun on the surface. However, with a group of good friends and/or family with dirty minds, this game will crack your ribs with laughter. My Dad is generally very soft spoken and extremely politically correct to almost being a stick in the mud, but he won the first game with the filthiest, most offensive sentences you could make. So, in short, this game is a blast as long as you have creative, fun people to play with, just get ready to learn a thing or two about each other!

Here’s what happened. I carefully cut off the the shrinkwrap from the box. My OCD kicked in and I frowned at the number of smudges and fingerprints I instantly covered the solid, shiny black surface in. I opened the box and gave a quick glance at the rule pamphlet ( as I was already familiar with the rules ), however, I read all the play variations. Then to just get an idea of the card look and format, I RANDOMLY pulled out a black card which read “J.K. Rowling’s next book is Harry Potter and the Chamber of _______ .I then RANDOMLY pulled out ONE white card from near the middle of the box which made my completed phrase “J.K. Rowling’s next book is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Gloryholes.After laughing uncontrollably for the next few minutes, coughing and losing my breath several times. I picked myself up off the floor, held my aching side, put the cards back inside the box, closed it and frowned again at the fingerprints. Upon realizing my life will NEVER get any better then that, I drove to the local elementary school, donated the game at the front office, drove home and proceeded to take a whole bottle of painkillers and a quart of Jack. So as I wait here to die, hopefully in my sleep, soon, I write this review as a warning to all others that ONE simple black card and ONE simple white card in this game has the power to ruin all other humor in your life forever…because life will never get any better then this game.After they find my body, I would like my parents to know that I love you dearly, and all that porno you found at my place was actually from a friend of mine, as I was holding it for him after he moved in with a new girlfriend who was a recently converted Amish girl, and he wasn’t quite sure what her boundaries were yet.

If you haven’t played you need to!

I have thoroughly loved this game for a long time and was excited that it was purchased for me for my birthday. We had a game night with many different personalities and this game was a hit. Easy to learn and teach to others. Great for some laughs too

Love this game. Seriously. Love it. I played the original with some friends and family and was in TEARS half the time because the combinations were just so hilarious/politically incorrect/awful. Many people were rolling and/or crying with every single round.But there is where the high octane hilarity ended.Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy the game but after the shock value has worn off it just becomes an adult Apples to Apples.Other things I’ve noticed:The game doesn’t have the desired effect with high brow sense of humor people. It seems like half of the cards are poop/sexual in nature which is fine but could cause quick burnout with your play group depending on their humor. What ends up happening (in my experience) is that people who have played the game more than once start to go for the deeper more obscure combinations that are funny to most but never win against the brute force of cards such as “pooping back and forth. forever.”I’ve come across another group who, unfortunately, went with the most shocking or dirty card to them even if it didn’t make sense in the context of the black card played. This could be an undesired consequence of a few experienced people playing with completely new people. Just laying it out there so you wont be surprised when it happens to you.Quality of the cards are pretty good but I’ve noticed several where it seems like the black ink on the back of the card is just too visible from the other side. It hasn’t bled through, but the coloring on the mostly white cards just doesn’t seem quite right.Overall, I would recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a fun party game with friends who aren’t offended easily and are equally gutter minded. Highly recommend using the “Lando Cardrissian” rule which can be surprisingly good at times. The other rules about manipulating the number of cards in your hand is aslo worth it because more options can only be a good thing.

Hella funny and great for large groups with dirty minds

Why I’m adding to the ocean of reviews, I’m not really sure – chances are, if you’re reading this, you’ve already made up your mind. You either don’t know what this game is about at all, love it, or hate it!The gameplay is simple – one player plays a question card, and the rest of the players have to choose from their hand of 10 answer cards which answer(s) fits the question card best. The player with the question card gets to choose who’s answer is “best” (can be completely arbitrary & up to the individual!) & whichever player that wins that hand gets to keep the question card. The player who wins the decided-upon number of question cards first is the winner.It’s amazing how some of the answers are just so freaking perfect for the question cards. Of course it’s designed that way, but even with both expansions (which we ordered first actually, because this first one was sold out!) there are so many hilariously horrible & offensive combinations – it’s amazing, haha.One thing my husband & I (a Democrat & Independent, respectively) did notice is that the game could also be called “Cards Against Humanity and even moreso against Glenn Beck, because we really don’t like that guy.” I’m not going to get into politics here, but we’ll probably be removing those cards because they are flatly unfunny.

This is one of the best games ever. If you are one of those people that like puns, dirty jokes, or who has a slightly odd or off kilter sense of humor this is the game for you. The game offers a series of black and white cards. The black cards are similar to the old “Mad Libs” games that everyone played as a kid where you have your friends choose words to fill in the blanks and the paragraphs often end up hilariously funny. Except in this case your friends or fellow players are given 2-3 white cards with phrases or words on them to fill the blanks on the black cards in with. Depending on the word combinations this can end up hilarious or absolutely horrible.People should be warned now. If you are seriously into political correctness, if you are sensitive and your feelings are easily hurt, or if you are in a professional setting than this is not the game for your. Cards are often about as politically incorrect as you can get, and sometimes they are downright mean.Otherwise have fun and enjoy because you will be rolling around on the floor laughing during the game session.

I had heard many things about Cards against Humanity, so when I saw it deals.woot for 25 on Amazon, I didn’t hesitate.The day the package arrived, I was so excited I actually piddled a little bit.I was scared to open the box, not knowing the fully awesomeness of this game, so it sat dormant. A week later, the opportunity arose to crack this bitch open and laugh until i poop myself.It was Easter 2013. My girlfriend and I had been dating a few months now, and it was time to meet her family. What better way to break down barriers and really get to know someone’s family than CAH. We all laughed until our stomachs hurt, and I think her mom may have literally peed her pants.If you don’t have a sense of humor, don’t buy this game. You will probably be offended and ruin this for us fun lovers.If you do have a sense of humor, don’t hesitate. Also, I’d recommend a fresh pair of drawers as well.Cheers!Oh, and for those of you who are looking to learn what this game is actually like, and what gameplay is, here:- This is Apples to Apples for sick minded adults.- Rules are simple enough for Adam Sandler to understand- Recommend buying the expansions as well if you plan on playing this with a big group and want to play for a few hours. With 4 people we went through the deck in about 2 hrs, and then were itching like crack fiends wanting more.

Love this game mostly because I’m an awful human being just like its creators. Played this with my family and had to buy it.

love it

If you haven’t played this yet- then buy it now! You’ll definitely want this at your next party. So so much fun for adults of all ages and we even let our teenagers play.

Fun adult game

I love playing this when I have big groups of friends over, absolutely hilarious.

In a country overwhelmed with PC appropriate terms, “woke” mobs and cancel culture, it’s refreshing to see and experience the not so dark, witty and crazy humor we once laughed about. (OK maybe not so witty)We use to laugh at the expense of others, but only after laughing at ourselves. These cards don’t harm people, nor do they change minds. In that, I think the age limit should be raised to 40+, for those of us who still remember what it was to be raised well and to make stupid jokes in private because there’s nothing worse than a person who hides away their biases and personality and still pretends to be “culturally appropriate”.

Had a BBQ mother’s day weekend everyone was standing around drinking, pulled out the game and it was on and poppin even played teams

We really enjoy this game, i found out some strange things in life about my friends and family. We’re still trying to work through the trauma we’ve brought upon ourselves because of this game. There’s been tears i won’t deny that, but i feel that’s part of the experience. I had no idea what kind of weird things were happening in my garage. This game brought light about some harsh things that therapy and vodka won’t erase. I recommend it.

Fun for the whole family…until you have to explain what pixelated bukaki is!Pro: This game is funny as hell if you have a dark, and twisted sense of humor.The only con I have experienced is that it is not very fun if you are playing with people whom have little knowledge of history, politics, or don’t know who some of the most famous actors are. I got stuck in a group with all of these problems and ended up explaining things to everyone most of the time. In this group there were 4 people, including my self, plus I was also running a “ghost hand.” In this group 2 of the people didn’t even know who Sean Connery was, and I was the only one who knew who Patrick Stewart was; and to top it off it seemed like every one had a 6th grade reading ability, and the youngest person in the group was 23.So, moral of the story is, don’t play with people that don’t know anything.

If you are looking for a game that you don’t want to play with your mom this is it! Yes the cards are super inappropriate, but that is what makes it so funny. We love to play this game will all of our friends, and it only keeps getting better with the expansion packs. This is a game that you can play with a large or small group of friends without any issue. I would wait until the kids go to bed before playing it though because some of the cards are really foul. I really like that the cards are a bit slick because when you are playing with a large group of people it helps them slide into the middle of the table a bit better. The box is also nice for being a board game type of box. I also wanted to say that I read online that there was a mystery card in the top of the box so i cut into the top of my box, and there was no card…. I think that is only for the elite version or whatever its called. Anyhow mystery card or not you have to get this game!

Current issue cards in deck…newer edition…good laughs

Are you 18 years and over? Do you like to play Apples to Apples? Then this game is for you! It’s like a “naughty/Dirty/Adult” version of Apples to apples. I bought this to have a great time with my friends! We love to play this game. We take it to holiday parties, Friendly Gatherings and trips.I wouldn’t suggest playing this game with little children or minors some cards are not appropriate. But if you’re an adult! Go crazy! it’s also very fun to play when you’re drinking. I think overall one of my favorite card in this set is the “dick finger” card. It wins every time in my heart! This is also a pretty good ice breaker to play with new people because you loosen up to some of the “wtf” moments that happen many times through this game. You can also see how HORRIBLE you can be deep down inside as well! We always make a joke that we’re going to hell for a certain card we pick out of the bunch! But it’s all fun and games!!!I also bought 1 and 2 expansion packs!! So happy with this purchase I recommend this game especially if you have a great sense of humor!

I haven’t laughed this hard in years. Seriously, we’ve played it twice, all the way through the box of cards each time and I cried both times. Mascara running down the cheeks type of laughter, can’t catch your breath and have to walk away from the table type of laughter.It’s so simple. There’s a black card in the center of the table. (“What did my grandmother find deeply disturbing yet oddly charming?”) Every one lays a white card, upside down on the pile. Read the white cards out loud (“Tasteful sideboob. Assless chaps. Bio-engineered turtles with acid breath”) Pick the funniest. Those are examples I can give without being seriously edited or feeling embarrassed for writing while at work.That being said, I’m probably going to be spending the afterlife in a very hot climate. I don’t know who created these cards, or who is paying them to write this terrible nonsense, but I imagine I’ll meet them in Hades one day. Do not play this game with innocent, happy people. Do not play this game with your mother or your child. Surely you know another horrible couple would enjoy some laughter.

Hilarious. Bought this for a cocktail party with a few friends at my house. It was a blast! We’re all excited about playing again. This game is definitely raunchy and edgy and irreverent and deliberately not at all P.C. . It is most definitely for an all adult audience. And it’s not for the easily offended or those who are uncomfortable with being naughty or offensive or those who are going to take things too seriously. Lots and lots of jokes that involve sex, bodily functions, race, religion, politics, etc. While I think it’s probably most fun for a smarter crowd to play (it leads to some really witty answers that way and less cards that people don’t know what they mean), it’s also easy enough as far as the game play goes that I think just about anyone could get the hang of it right off and have a good time playing. It’s simple enough,too, as far as the rules and format go, that you can totally play it when you’ve had a few drinks,too. Even our guest who’d hit the bar the hardest was still totally a functioning player through the whole evening. Yeah, he won less questions when he was wasted than earlier in the evening, but still wasn’t so bad at it that it was distracting to the rest of us or took away from the pace or quality of the game. We played with about 6-8 people and I feel like that was about the right amount. You want lots of answers to pick from, but if you’ve got tons of people it might take too long.

This game is perfect for adult night game night our friends always request us to bring this to game night.

This has got to be the most hysterical game ever invented. It’s hard to explain just exactly what the game is and what makes it so funny, but I’ll give it a try.Everyone draws 7 cards which have saying on them like ‘Michelle Obama’s arms’, then one person draws a question card, such as ‘what really turns on President Obama’? then each player must lay down one of their cards as an answer.Maybe another player lays down a card that says “ignoring third world countries’, and you can see how inappropriate the game can become.Another question card might say ‘ —— is a trap’. And you might use lay down your answer card which says ‘a zesty breakfast burrito’ or ‘estrogen’, in the hopes that your card will be picked and when someone acquires a certain number of cards, they are declared the winner.To say this game brings out the worse in people is an understatement. Your job is to answer the questions as the playing asking the question would answer, which is why the game becomes such a riot. If the questioner is someone who can hit bottom, you job is to answer the question with a card that will reveal his/her inner prejudices, fears, bad behavior etc.I’ve played a lot of games and this is truly the most fun we’ve ever had. I’ve just explained how to play it, and it’s that easy. The only thinking involved is in knowing the inner lives of your opponents. This game is a study inside the dark, inner workings of your friends and family, and if you play it on Thanksgiving, it might just make it hard to sleep at night knowing who you share blood relations with . . .

Like others have said, Cards Against Humanity is exactly like Apples to Apples, except that the cards are ridiculously inappropriate for children and probably even most teenagers. The only other difference is that the black cards (Green cards in Apples) are sentences instead of adjectives. Some are statements like “What is Batman’s guilty pleasure” and “Daddy, why is mommy crying?” and others are fill in the blank, like “Next from J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Chamber of _________.” and “For my next trick, I will pull ____________ out of my ____________.” With white cards (Red cards in Apples) like “The Hamburglar,” “coat hanger abortions,” “getting naked and watching Nickelodeon,” and “dropping a chandelier on your enemies and riding the rope up” hilarity ensues. Some of the white cards were things I wasn’t even familiar with and had to check Urban Dictionary for. You could get it down to a PG-13 level if you go through and pull out some of the racier cards, but otherwise I strongly recommend keeping this to a crowd of at least 16-years-old. This game is hilarious. If you are one of those people who play “whips,” “chains,” “Micheal Jackson” or “Steven Hawking” for “Sensual” in Apples to Apples, this is for you. Definitely not for the politically correct or easily offended, but who wants to play with those people anyway? “What ended my last relationship?” “Chainsaws for hands”

Cards Against Humanity is a great Adult game that is sure to give you and those you play with alot of laughs! This game has been great for smaller or bigger get togethers and we have really had alot of fun with this game.. I also love how they have expansion packs as well.. The game is very easy to learn and play and you can choose to play as long as you would like or have time for. This is a game thats dirty and raunchy and they are right can be awkward yet hilarious. This is not a game for those who cant let their hair down and have a good time.. But for those of us who can this is totally worth it and provides hours of entertainment and laughter! There isnt many peices.. just white and black cards.. One person reads the black card which is a question, and the rest of the players simply choose one their white cards in their hands that may fit what the black card read. Overall Great game, give it a try or gift as a gift!!!!

There is a lot of negative reviews on this game because of some of the twisted humour it has. Heres the deal the best way i can put it is if you enjoy Seth McFarlane’ s humour youll LOVE this game. There are some cards that get a little TOO twisted like “pissing in a pool full of childrens tears” but i have only found 3 like that and i just throw them away. Even that card when you combine it with the “ive never had to worry about…” card can be made light but the imagery is just a bit much for my taste because while i enjoy seth McFarlane type humour to a point he often goes overboard in his humour. That being said some things in life are so awful if you dont try to connect to the dark humour of it you would spend all your time broken and or crying. This game is a LOT of fun and through its complete absurdity allows you to find humour in messed up things but most of it is completely harmless that i have seen so far. It is one of my favorites now and i find tromps apples to apples. But again if you dont have a dark humour side you can just toss the few cards that bother you like i did and play to your hearts content!

Warning!If you are religious, innocent, sheltered from the secular world, easily offended, or a goody-good, this game may not be for you.Are you already a horrible person? If not, then be careful, you might have become one, after playing this game.End of Disclaimer.Cards Against Humanity Review:As it says on the box, this is “a party game for horrible people.” If you are already horrible, then go ahead and play. Have fun! If you do not feel like a horrible person while you are playing, then you are probably not playing it right.- This game is basically Apples to Apples, but with horribly funny things on the cards. This is my favorite party game.- It is so easy to play that you don’t have to explain any complicated rules. People at a party will watch one round and then want to join in.- Anyone can leave or join the game at any time without disrupting the flow. So if people arrive to the party late or leave early it is no problem.- If someone gets up to go to the bathroom or to make a drink, then the game can go on without them for a few minutes. (I guess if you are good people, then you would wait for the person to come back so that they don’t miss a round, but if you were good people you would not be playing this game.)- Again, the game does not have to stop for the remaining players as some players come and go.So if you are looking for an awesomely fun, hilariously offensive party game for you and your horrible friends, this is it.

I always thought I was a good person, I volunteer, I help anyone who needs it, and my job is to make sure people have the services they need. A regular humanitarian right? You would think so. But you would be wrong. I am a terrible person. I play this game proudly and have even written my own cards that poke fun of my friends and family and possibly the people I work with, but I will never admit to that nor can you actually prove that I did unless you break in to my house, steal my cards and do a handwriting analysis. But that seems unlikely, so I’m not worried.I like to invite new people over to play the game just for my own sick satisfaction of seeing their faces turn red, watching them stutter when reading the answers, and hearing their reactions to the numerous home-made cards that may or may not be a little disturbing. There should be a warning written on the box stating that you will use these crude ‘answers’ in your every day life. I cannot tell you how many time kids with ass cancer have popped up into my regular conversations, or the numerous reasons as to why ‘mommy is crying’. It happens, and I’m ok with it. I’m so ok with it I have bought every expansion pack and like I said before, have written my own cards as well. If you do plan on writing your own, a little tip….octomom is a great answer for many of the questions.

Warning: I have played this game only three times, and I didn’t follow the rules any of those three times.However, each of the times I’ve played, it’s been with different people, all of whom were more experienced than I. My first game was with my sister. It was just the two of us throwing cards at each other, and it resulted in quite a bit of hilarity. She shared about the time her husband had to explain to our mom what “pixelated bukkake” was. We laughed. We cried. It was warm and fuzzy.The other times were with friends. Friends I didn’t know too well. At least, not until the end of the game. By then it was pretty clear who was going to hell (all of us) and in which handbasket (not pretty ones).I learned more from this game than I did in high school. I had no idea what Hutus and Tutsis meant when I first sat down to play. Even now that I know, I still giggle when I hear the words. The only mention of Aaron Burr I’d ever heard was on Big Daddy with Adam Sandler. Having Wikipedia open on a nearby electronic device may help immensely when playing this game, so everyone doesn’t have to admit they don’t know what smegma means.Finally, if any word or mention in this review offends you in any way, please avoid this game. This game is not for you. It’s not for everyone. I would not, for instance, invite the 90 year old WWII veteran next door to play. I wouldn’t invite the folks across the street with sixty-four grandkids and a sign stating “ABORTION STOPS A BEATING HEART” who asked me my mother’s name so they could pray for her (and presumably me) to play. I MIGHT invite the nosy hobag next door who acts shocked and pearl-clutchy at everything to play, just to see the look on her face (and maybe thwart future visits to pry into my personal life). Otherwise, this is a great game for parties of all types. (Except church ice cream socials. Unless you want to know what a sick bastard your pastor is.)

I won’t go into detail since 6,500 people have already done that… but will add my voice to the chorus. If you and your friends have a sick sense of humor, this is the game for you. It’s simple and hilarious. We were introduced to it by friends who are gay, and I have to say that playing this game with half a dozen gay men just adds to the amusement. Each person takes it in turn to read from a black card which has a missing word or phrase, and you have to suggest the fill-in-the-blank from the white cards in your hand. The reader then gets to decide which entry is best and the winner keeps the black card… the winner is the first to accumulate X black cards (where X is a number you select).A few winning entries will suffice to give you a flavor:The Smithsonian Institution Museum of Natural History* – [where, btw, I worked for several years] – has a new interactive exhibit on —–Winner: “Children on leashes”What’s that smell?Winner: “Gandhi”When I was tripping on acid, —– turned into —– [This is one of several two-phrase cards]Winner: White privilege, the homosexual agendaYou get the idea. Btw, DON’T pay the absurd amount of money some sellers on Amazon are asking (currently $169!) when this is sold out… just wait till Amazon restocks and get it for the regular 25 bucks.Enjoy… just don’t try playing this game with fundamentalist Christians, your grandparents or people with no imagination.

We play this almost every holiday! Very grateful I decided to buy this for my sister, she loves it and it is quite entertaining 🙂

Be your worst self without accusations. The more deplorable you are, the more points you get! Easy game for 3 or more people, the more players, the more fun.

I recently had family visit from out of state and was amazed they had never heard of this game. After explaining to them it was like an X-rated Apples to Apples, I got out our deck and we started playing. They loved it so much, I promptly ordered a set for them for Christmas. Nothing brings a family together like laughter – and this game will have you falling off your chair (literally)! I think some of the nieces and nephews (all over 18) were surprised at how quickly their older aunts, uncles and parents caught on to this game and were coming up with the most off-color and hilarious answers. If you are easily offended or prudish, then don’t buy this game. Otherwise, order a deck or two, gather a group of family and friends, and laugh the night away.

This is it. The one. The alpha and the omega of raunchy card games. Cards Against Humanity may very well be one of the funniest and most vulgar experiences you can expose your friends and house-guests to without winding up in jail by the end of the evening. This game is played in virtually the same manner as 

Apples to Apples Party Box – The Game of Crazy Combinations (Family Edition)

 but with cards that would make your grandmother blush. The amount of thought and ingenuity that went into devising the cards is a masterpiece. “My big black dick?” Check. “Women’s suffrage?” Check. “Harry Potter Erotica?” You bet!The sheer number of possible combinations is staggering and several of the prompts for a round require multiple cards, allowing for interesting and unexpected depths of depravity for the human mind to descend into. If your friends are moral absolutists who can’t laugh at anything remotely terrible, this is not the game for them. For everyone else, this is one of the best experiences you can ever have with a card game and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

As if your noisy party wasn’t already cheesing off your neighbors, Mr./Ms. Apartment/Condo/Townhouse Dweller, now you’ve gone and added Cards Against Humanity to the mix, and the uproarious howling of your party guests as the Card Czar or other Designated Reader stages dramatic readings of each disturbingly funny played combo will virtually GUARANTEE that the police will be called, or barring that, that you will be the topic of much heated discussion at the next Resident’s Association meeting, which could result in censure, fines, shunning by your previously-friendly neighbors on your thrice-daily dog walks, and possible eviction for violating every Tenant’s Association Maximum Allowable Fun rule on the books.Sounds like a challenge, doesn’t it? Heh. Heh. Heh.With CAH, busting the HOA rules is frighteningly easy. You will howl. At least one person will need to look up something on their smartphone and then be embarrassed by the discovery (which, per the rules of the game, must be shared with the rest of the players). You will drive off any leftover Puritans who may have accidentally stumbled upon your party. These are all positive features, not bugs.I’ve never had so much fun playing a tabletop game. You may read all the cards, but there’s no way you could ever see every potential black card/white card combo in your lifetime. At least not without your brain exploding.CAH may be “a party game for terrible people” according to its makers, but it’s terrible-er to NOT have a copy of CAH and its expansions.

A bad, bad game for bad, bad people. You’re probably a bad person, but might not even realize it, having hidden that side of yourself for so long, sweet innocence is no longer an act, but your reality. This game will release that inner demon.Take the black card, read it aloud. Everyone fills in the answers from their white cards. Groans, laughter, ugh, etc. Judge chooses the winner, who then takes the black card. Get the right number of black cards, and you win! Just like Apples to Apples, but goes better with Tequila.We play this with the kids and the grandparents. Yep. Age 18-75. They both end up looking up about the same number of items. Occasionally there is a little embarrassment as the 18 year old realizes gramma knows EXACTLY and ENTHUSIASTICALLY what she is talking about, and vice verse. There are no secrets in this game.If you want to take it to a more disgusting level, which is certainly not appropriate for kids and grandparents (and CAH is?, hmmm, have I already fallen?) you can try one of the 3rd party expansions, like Crabs Adjust Humidity http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dtoys-and-games&field-keywords=crabs%20adjust%20humidity&sprefix=crabs%2Ctoys-and-games.There are also templates available on the web to make your own custom sets.Hint: Use smile.amazon.com to purchase, and you may end up in one of the upper levels of h e l l instead of straight to the bottom. Remember, it’s for the kids.

We absolutely love this game. You must be very open minded and love to laugh. Game can very easily offend someone as it has very vulgar cards included. Play for the fun and you will laugh the entire time. Be sure to play with adults and no children around!!!

Love playing with friends

Been playing this for years and gifted it to some friends. Always a good time playing with a friend dinner or when you’re bored on deployment.

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.

This is a great game that is easy to whip out whenever the conversation runs thin. You gain a clear understanding of the subtle differences between your companions’ senses of humor. Some friends/couples/siblings will vote for each other every time and others will get into fights because they can’t/won’t play to each others’ sense of humor at all. The cards are well enough made that they can endure drunk handling. I guess if you were going to be really fussy about them, you could get card protectors, but I say just give the CAH people another $25 if you are getting that much use out of the game. It’s true the 3rd expansion cards are of a slightly different make, but the quality is comparable and once you mix them in, you forget all about it. The boxes are really HQ, so it’s too bad you have to transfer the cards into a different box if you want to keep all the expansions together. But, the BCW 660 Count- Corrugated Cardboard Storage Box is the perfect size for 3 expansions, and it fits compactly in a small backpack or satchel, which is handy. As far as the different expansions go, I think the debates over which ones are good and which ones are “trying too hard” or “too gross” are pretty stupid. Everyone is going to find different things more or less funny, so just buy them all and if you must, throw out the individual cards you hate. There is no difference between the original cards and the expansions, IMO. The rules have a variant where you can trade in a card for a new one, if you don’t know what it means, (you just have to read it aloud to the group and admit your ignorance). This is a GREAT rule, that everyone loves. If you’re worried about someone being uncomfortable with some of the cards, just let them trade them in (or wear them on their forehead, whatevs), and play on.

Si llegaste hasta acá sabes por qué estas aquí.

This is hands-down the funniest game I have ever played and as fun as Munchkin, which I also love. I will issue a warning: if you do not like comedians like Louis CK, Doug Stanhope, and Lewis Black because of their ‘inappropriate’ sense of humor; stay far from this game. However, if you have thought about joining a celebrity death pool you’re about to spend the best 25 bucks of your sad sack life. And do yourself a favor: after playing this game with a group of friends and laughing your ass off for hours go back on here and read all of the one-star reviews as a reminder to why you reveled so much that there can be a game for people that like reading Nietzsche and enjoy jokes about conjoined fetuses or anything dark. That people can use “boring” nouns like the ‘the American Dream’ and make something funny or even deep about them using the ‘magic in their minds’. And finally the understanding that paying 25 bucks (if you paid 90? you’re the only one to blame for spending that much on a card game) is well worth one night of fun and even if the replay value is limited that it was well worth it anyway and a hell of a game to pass along to another group of friends.

Great game we play a lot

If you have children DO NOT buy this game but great for adult fun

There seems to be two types of reviewers for this game: 1. Those who had an absolute ball and hurt themselves laughing (like we did) or, 2. Folks who are sensitive to obscenities and who were offended by this game. For the latter, you can remove the most offensive cards ahead of time and still enjoy yourselves. Of course, you must realize this game is meant to be non-“politically correct”. That is the fun of it. To those in group #1 – Get this game and be ready laugh your butts off.

If you’re going to have friends over for dinner, play this game. It is a guaranteed game changer on how the night is going to go.*NOT APPROPRIATE FOR KIDS* We love to have people over for dinner and parties and this game always ends up coming out. It brings everyone around, interacting with one another and always brings a lot of laughs.I guess you could compare this with Apples to Apples for adults… I think this more falls on the lines of “Jackass”.I have had the “wonderful” opportunity to play this three times with my parents, and twice with my father in law. I don’t know what it is but I always end up pulling the card, “what are my parents hiding for me.” Seriously, NO I don’t want to play that card. My parents end up throwing the best, but most inappropriate cards down. It ends up making my dad laugh so hard his whole body turns red and cries. That in itself people is why we play this game. There not much else that can make adults laugh and have so much fun over dinner.*Disclaimer: If you do not like to have fun, don’t buy this – it is not for you. JUST KIDDING, its hysterical. We have purchased all the expansion packs and are waiting for more to come out.”

We just had a ball playing this with the whole family after Thanksgiving dinner. Hubby and I, along with our 25 and 12 y.o. sons. We went through the deck first and took out the cards that were truly over-the-top objectionable (about one out of seven cards) and were left with plenty of fun that didn’t get much worse than Junior High level filth. My basic criteria for removing cards was that if I didn’t feel that, as an adult, I could joke with my mom about the topic of the card OR if I would be uncomfortable explaining it to my 12 yo then it was out. But we still had a whole lot of fun. Yes, it was still inappropriate in a lot of ways, I’m not going to pretend it’s not. But there was something about laughing together and pointing out how outrageously WRONG some things were that made it fun and strangely educational.However, my 12 y.o. is a highly sensible boy who doesn’t actually enjoy saying things that he knows are wrong or will upset his parents. Which is probably pretty unusual. If your kids are overly impressionable or likely to take these things and run with them in a direction you wouldn’t want them to go then you should probably avoid this until they’re older. Like, after they’ve graduated from college or gotten married or something. Otherwise, have at it and have fun!

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 Ãœbermensch”, “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?”

There are over 1,000 reviews on here, so mine will probably get lost in the crowd. However, I can assure anybody that does happen to read this that Cards Against Humanity is a ridiculously fun game. With that said, it’s really not a good one for kids to play, or be in the room while you play.I’ve owned this game for about 2 months and have played it for hours upon hours during that time period. I played a game with three other people and we used the entire black card deck just this past weekend (hours of playing) because it’s really that much fun. I played with my family over Thanksgiving and my dad called me up after I had left to ask me what the “name of that funny card game is.” I would definitely recommend this game if you are not easily offended. However, if you are sensitive to crude humor then you should steer clear of this game and buy apples to apples.I personally have enjoyed this game despite the limited number of cards (I’m now considering purchasing all of the expansions). Even if you get the same black card that you have seen a dozen times it will still have hilarious outcomes due to the white cards being different. Well worth $25 IMO.

I’ve played a lot of games over the years. A lot. Many of these have been card games with friends, around a table. Sometimes with an “adult beverage”, other times not. From a “just going to have some fun with my friends” level, this game is tough to beat.I was exposed to Cards Against Humanity at a regional Sci-Fi / Fantasy convention during a birthday party for one of our guests. A nice young lady was sitting at a table with the game, another young lady noticed it and started talking about how fun it was, and next thing you know it, our Guest was at the table and we were laughing our butts off. We were laughing hard enough that there were tears. This is a good sign you have a good game. I will say this – the group playing was all very creative, intelligent, and shall we say… twisted. It was a 4 day gathering of Geeks after all. I enjoyed the game so much, I pulled out my ‘droid and ordered the game and the expansion, on the spot!This game is not for everyone (especially kids). If you get offended, ever, at anything – do not buy it. It has language, ideas, concepts, phrases, and so on that will make you cringe. If you have a group of friends that watch NASCAR, WWE, NFL, etc as “entertainment” all the time … this game isn’t for you. If you have open minded friends, who like to have fun, laugh, and let offensive things roll off your back – then by all means get this game. If you laugh at things that are WRONG – then get this game.It’s been called Apples to Apples for “grown ups”, and that is fairly accurate. Game play is similar, with a few twists. Rather than a word, person, or place – you work with a concept and try to match what you think the “Card Czar” will choose. It is NOT Apples to Apples – it’s more. Just buy the dang thing.Fun level: Yes, 5 stars. But not for everyone. Seriously. This game is not fun for everyone.Educational value: Yes, 5 stars. You learn A LOT about your friends playing this game.. hehe.Durability: Yes, 5 Stars. It’s a card game, on pretty heavy cards. Should last you a good long while.

I love this game it is hilarious and a ton of fun… of course it needs to be played with adults. If you want a kids version of this Apples to apples is great for the whole family like 10 and up. CAH…..is best played with 4 or more people but you could play with 3 I think but its harder and not as much fun. Its so easy to play. One player reads part of a sentence… that is left open ended. The other players try to find the funniest card to complete the sentence. You need to take in the “askers” sense of humor. They get to choose which card appeals to them. If you win you keep that card who ever has the most cards wins. We play to 4 or 5. Its so much fun with a big group of despicable people. Trust me Granny is going to be the most hardcore player. You will learn a whole lot about the group of people you play with.

I played this with a couple of friends and we has such a great time.

Just buy it. Buy it already.

This game is hilarious if you are A.) with friends/family of equal humor, B.) drunk, and/or C.) a bad person. If you don’t fit in 2 or more of those categories, you will probably hate this game. You’d be better off with Apples to Apples.Some thoughts:- The subject matter is very mature and caters solely to the perverse cynic in all of us.- The cards are made of a very high quality cards stock and are easy to read in high contrast black & white.- The surface of the cards has a chitin layer that protects against liquid spilling (see requirement B above).- The game is horribly boring with fewer than 4 people. Recommend 5-6 people for maximum fun.I really enjoyed playing this with my wife, brother & sister in law. They aren’t quite as dirty-minded as me, so I think I enjoyed it more than they did, but they certainly liked it. The price is fair considering the developer allows you to print and make your own for free (they even tell you how and give you the template to download). The expansions are available for a modest $10 so that’s a great thing.I just wish I didn’t feel like such a terrible person after playing it.

This card game goes beyond any other simple party game. Everyone will be rolling in laughter even if you’re just watching others play. I DO however recommend that you ARE over the age of 17 to play this game being that it’s not appropriate for children or very young teens. But if you have a broken sense of humor and dirty mind to a degree, PLEASE consider buying this game!!

I don’t know what I can say about Cards Against Humanity that hasn’t already been said. It’s a fantastically fun game that will definitely uncover who in your friends group has the darkest sense of humor. Do NOT play at work parties or HR will be called. :DI haven’t gotten any of the expansion packs yet because we’re still having fun with the initial set two years later.

I feel like this pack wasn’t as funny as some of the other ones I’ve seen in previous years. Definitely a lot more cards describing gross things and I threw away some of the cards that involved children like the card that said, “little boy penis’s” ummmm….. no

… not for everyone. This game is not for kids, for those easily offended, for those with weak stomachs, or those who don’t like to have fun.What this game is:It is just was it says, a party game for horrible people. That being said, GET OVER IT!! – If you take things way to seriously this game is not for you. – The cards inside are very raunchy in nature and go out of their way to make very bad jokes about everything. And I do mean EVERYTHING. – The cards are well made and have stood up to many nights of good times. – No game is the same, and every game is filled with laughing so much it hurts.What this game isn’t: – For children. Ever.. If you buy this for kids you’re a horrible parent. – Politically Correct. It will offend people. Get used to it.Whoever wrote a negative review for this game probably has no sense of humor or takes things way to seriously, or bought it for their kids and didn’t read what it was first. This game touches on the bad jokes that we all have inside us. It reminds you to make some horrible jokes, laugh until you can’t breathe, and then play another round. Seriously people, it’s a game. Enjoy it. Laugh. Be horrified when you realize how bad the jokes really can be and then laugh some more.Note: yes they do offer a copy on their website, but the cards are very small, hard to read, and leave out some very funny cards that are included with the retail version. Quit crying about it and buy a copy. You’ll thank me later.

Great price! So much fun for people who enjoy dark and perverted humor.

Very fun and funny game, especially great for large groups.

We played this game for the first time the other night with four people. Although there was drinking involved, I think we enjoyed the game so much that we were distracted from our drinking and actually remained sober the whole time we played. We also had so much fun that we pretty rapidly forgot we were even keeping score. I absolutely cannot wait until we play with more people because there will be more answers to decide between and choosing a winner each round will be that much harder. As everyone else says, it is apples to apples, but x-rated. It is absolutely hilarious, but even playing with one of the most liberal group of people I know, each of us was offended, or at least shocked, at least once. However, we love the shock value, so that just made it more fun for us. It would be very easy to decide to remove one or two cards because they toed the line just a little too much, but if you are going to do that, you really have no business owning this game. If you, or someone you plan to play this with regularly are even slightly sensitive, easily offended (or able to be offended at all), or even just a really nice person with good morals, skip this game, it is pretty intense in it’s vulgarity, and nothing is off limits.

I first played this game at a bar where I was supposed to be listening to a musician play. There were only about 12 of us there to listen to the musician, so imagine the horror when Cards Against Humanity trumped the live music. After that fateful night, I drove home (under the influence) and electronically sought out a way to purchase this on Amazon. At that time vultures were selling copies second hand for around $70 bucks.Luckily I stopped at McDonald’s on the way home and purchased two 20 packs of McNuggets that killed my buzz and I decided to wait until the morning. I found the CAH website and decided to sign up for their auto-notifier for a re-release of the set and expansion pack. Luckily my wait was only a couple of drunk binges away and eventually I was able to purchase at the suggested retail price. After receiving and looking through the deck of cards, I instantly knew my purpose in life.This game has ruined my relationship with my future in-laws, my grandmother and my neighbor’s kids, but now I know that they will one day be saved by Jesus. My fate lies on another path as I travel these United States, challenging random folks to see who will be, History’s Oldest Monster.

This was a gift so not sure yet.

Warning. If you get offended and or religious this isn’t the game for you. I never get offended and I’m not to religious, so this game is a freaking blast. Pack down a few drinks, get your wife who has a UTI a little tipsy and watch her laugh so hard she pisses all over herself. You know it’s a great game when someone laughs and pees. Love it! Love you too babe!! She’s changing her clothes for the fifth time. Lol

I got this game to play with my friends and it is so much fun!! We love to sit around and hang out playing this. This is the perfect gift to give to a teenager if you ever need one. I do have to say that some of the cards are more adult so the recommended age of 17 is about right but really anyone above 15/16 would understand most of them. I would definitely recommend this game to any high school, college, or fresh out of college people.

This game is fun and keeps everyone engaged.

I’ve been playing this card game for years so since my decks were worn down, I decided to buy the entire set again. A few years back, around the holidays, the company, for $10 dollars did this sweet promo where every day for 10 days, you got a special edition CAH card. One card in particular, had your name ( not yours, mine!) printed on it, which was the best thing ever!! The last day, they donated the last dollar to a children’s reading charity. I liked that. I added to my gigantic deck Crabs Against Humidity now, the full deck with expansions and an actual card case. I may now get to keep these beauties for a year and a day this time. Great game to play with friends with a twisted sense of humor, not for kids or prudish folks, unless you want a great reaction! This will do it! You do need more than 4 players and someone who is willing to be score keeper ( a non partial fair one.) You can have lots of people play this, great for hanging out with lots of friends. I highly recommend this!

I bought two of these for gifts for my “grown up” kids for Christmas. Needless to say they all wanted to play as soon as they got the gifts. I didn’t realize the game was basically the same as Apples to Apples that we already had. It is played the same way where the person whose turn it is has a card they play with a saying and the other players try to complete it by laying down a card from their hand. The player whose turn it is then picks the best card that completes their card. This is where the similarity ends. The cards are absolutely hilarious and without a doubt politically incorrect. You have to have a sense of humor and not get too embarrassed playing this game. If you are playing with your kids, get ready for both you and your kids to start throwing cards out and picking new ones because the one you got is just way too embarrassing. Even with that, the game is loads of fun and great to play on an adult only game night. You definitely need a sense of humor to play. You can’t be a prude and play this game.

Such a fun game – I play it on game nights at people’s houses. I decided that I should have a set of my own for my own game nights. You can easily take up an hour with this game (or you can make it shorter if you want). You need at least 3 people to play, the more the merrier though. You can also buy add on cards separately – which I bought, but haven’t tried yet.Basic point of the game: deal 10 white cards to each person – the white cards have sayings on it like “bop-it,” “mechahitler.” Each person takes turns reading a black card. The black card says things like “this is my superpower.” So all the other players pick one of their white cards to give to the reader (face down). The reader picks the best answer in his/her opinion. The person who gave that particular white card answer gets a point.” Player with the most points at the end wins.It’s probably not a good game to play with young children or your grandparents. There are some cards that can be offensive to some people so I suppose you can either takes those cards out (but what fun is that) or leave those people who might be offended out of this particular game night.

I played cards against humanity once a while back and loved it. in the one time i played it became my favorite card/board game and i had to buy it for myself. I have a “bizarre” sense of humor i enjoy jokes ranging from nonsensical to very dark and cards against humanity appeals to that sense of humor quite well. The only bad thing about the game isn’t really even the game fault and thats if you enjoy all the types of humor in this game you likely don’t have many friends in real life to play it with myself included. The 1 star reviews for this game are hilarious as well coming frome obtuse older people who completely miss the fact that the entire point of cards against humanity is weird and dark humor.

I bring this game to EVERY party. It’s always a hit. Co-workers, peers, everyone loves to get dark and dirty now and then. Dry humor is a plus in this game, but anyone can play. (Well, not the kids, but I assume you know it’s is adult orientated by now!) For that matter, I consider this a “drinking game” but it has nothing to do with the gameplay so much as the atmosphere that results from a group of folks who are willing to push boundaries when loosened up. If played long enough, you’ll start to see patterns and find out what makes your friends tick. Humor finds its way into categories – dark, cute, clever, political, sex, etc. Sex almost always wins in my house. Haha.A note on the expansion packs – I’ve purchased all the expansion packs and the “bigger blacker box” to hold them all. It’s a wonderful investment if you like the game but not necessary at all. It gives you more cards to work with but you can always make your own cards and grow the set for free. This is a very openly customized game.PRO TIP: PRINT AT HOME FOR FREE! The awesome creators of CAH will let anyone download the entire game as PDF from their website. Honestly. All you need is a printer and some scissors. […] If nothing else, you can see the cards and decide if you are into this sort of thing before buying the box set.

If you enjoy Apples to Apples and are looking for a game that can be very risque at times you’ll probably really enjoy this game! It is very similar in play style to Apples to Apples. One person is the judge for a round, and gets to pick which answer is the winner, just as in Apples to Apples. However, instead of simply matching one word to another, usually there is a sentence with one missing word and each player (aside from the judge) inserts their choice into the sentence.This is a great party game if you can gather up a lot of friends who aren’t easily offended. I played this the first weekend I had the game with six other friends (which I think was a good number to play this game). We were planning on playing other games as well that night but we ended up playing this until about 2:00 in the morning instead. This game provided all of us with MANY laughs that night. Ever since the first night we played this my friends’ have insisted that I bring this game.The only downside to this game is that it doesn’t have near as many cards as Apples to Apples does, so once you play it a few times you’ll make it through all the cards. Personally, I still think it is well worth the $25 for the amount of fun that can be had playing this game. They also offer several expansion packs for $10 each that include more cards.

Not bad, but I hear they just came out with a WOKE version which rubs me the wrong way.

My friends and I play this almost every time we get together to have some drinks and hang out. When we want to try something new, someone brings over an extension pack and we laugh till we cry almost every time.

First off I want to say that I am 19- for an age reference. I am a camp consular during the summer and when the kids went to bed sometimes some of the adult would stay and play this. This game has the same concept as Apples to Apples. When I received mine, I played it with my twin sister and best friend and we really enjoyed it. I know that your supposed to play with many people but we just played our own version with three. ( we used PewdiePie version as a reference) Some things on the cards I don’t know/understand but most of it I do. There are things from food to sexual terms. There are 90 blacks cards and 460 white cards. This is a HUGE difference so after playing a few times you remember what the black cards are…for me it made it less fun; however, there are extensions you can purchase that you can get more black cards as well as white ones. I might purchase those in the future but for right now I am good.I received the package on time and in tact – no complaints. The box is sturdy and hard. The directions are not some thin piece of paper. If you are on the edge of buying this I would recommend of watching some youtube videos of people playing to see if it is something you would enjoy as for many things are controversial.Enjoy!

I recently played a card game that I found to be deeply disturbing. It is called Cards Against Humanity, and it is a tedious and uninspired copy of other, better card games that have come before it. The artwork is bland and uninspired, and the mechanics are clunky and unbalanced. It offers nothing new or interesting to the world of card games, and I found myself quickly losing interest in it.But the most offensive aspect of this game is the company that produces it. This company openly supports political organizations that espouse hateful and discriminatory views, and uses its profits to fund their harmful activities. This kind of corporate irresponsibility is unacceptable, and I cannot in good conscience support a company that profits from division and bigotry.In short, I would not recommend Cards Against Humanity to anyone. It is a poor excuse for a game, and the company that produces it is a disgrace to our society. Avoid this game at all costs.

This is the best game I have ever played!Pros:1) It helps you make friends. During my freshman year of college, I had this game delivered to my dorm (my parents were very conservative). The next few months consisted of me having the time of my life with strangers who became friends. I credit the instantaneous friendships partially to this game. It really gets people to open up. It’s easy to break through social boundaries of acquaintances when you hear someone say “Oedipus complex : kid-tested, mother-approved.” When you add alcohol into the mix, everything gets even better. We were all rolling on the floor (literally, sometimes) laughing. This game is for horrible people. We are all horrible people at our cores but we try to hide it. This game allows you to embrace it and share your true self with others.2) It is creatively hilarious. It is controversial in all aspects: racism, religion, politics, and sex. It allows people to break the rules that society has set up for us to follow.3) It pairs well with alcohol — vodka shots, to be exact. Try this: Every time that you lose a round (i.e., you are not the card tzar, nor did you win the awesome point), take a shot.Cons: There are none! Unless you are a total prude or are easily offended…

I was hesitant to buy these because of the reviews about the condition of the box but I’m so glad I took the chance. My box was in perfect condition and wrapped in plastic. Cards were brand new & clean. Excited to finally have my own Cards Against Humanity!

Fun to play the first few times. Lots of ways to play. Not for children.

I’m sure this is a tired comparison, but this game is essentially Apples to Apples for cynics. I had never played it but only heard of it when I purchased it, and I actually gave it as a stocking stuffer to my boyfriend for Christmas. We opened it up and played it with friends at our Christmas party, and everyone had a really good time, laughs all around. I would highly recommend it if you have a slightly twisted sense of humor and are not easily offended, because it can get wild.On a sidenote, the good thing about this game is that there are several expansion packs available for purchase, in case you play with a lot of people and tend to run out of the black cards early or have played so many times that you’ve seen them all. There is also an app available for free on the Apple Market called Black Cards (or something similar) that provides you with prompts to use; you could probably come up with some kind of system where the winner gets a piece of candy or an index card or something to hold in place of the physical card.Great card game for friends or family game night. Highly recommended!

Monthly game night has not been the same since I bought this. So much fun!!

So much fun if you don’t take offense to the phrase combinations, and play it under the notion it’sjust a game, and it’s fun to “go there” because you only have so many card combinations to use.By default, you have no choice but to play offensive phrases, but that’s what makes it fun.Not for everyone, that’s for sure.If you are sensitive to political and racial topics, it might not be for you.It’s like comedy, you know like Chris Rock type stuff.The game is in no way trying to promote racism or hate of any kind.I wouldn’t be comfortable playing it if that were the case.It’s fun to laugh at random phrases that are normally taboo to use.One of my favorites I used was Menstrul Rage.Pretty funny phrase, because it’s true for a lot of women-lolThere are others that may not ever be okay to say in a normalsetting, but that’s the whole premise of the game. You have nochoice. You aren’t writing the phrases, you’re simply putting2 pre-printed cards together in your hand to try to be the most obnoxiousphrase that’s picked. No one knows each other’s phrases unless it’s picked as thebest/most obnoxious/funny one and you have totry to guess who’s it is, which makes it even more funny, becausepeople take light-hearted offense when it’s not theirs.It’s kind of like a 1 or 2 times playing game because there are onlyso many cards, and the shock value/hilariousness aren’t there whenyou see the same phrases.There are new ones though, so that’s good to remedy that problem.

CaH is the OG trend setter. It’s known for pushing the limits and proving countless hours of laughs amongst friends. Just be warned if you buy this that you will spend countless amounts of money buying all the expansion packs. 10/10

I happened to find this card games by accident and learned that one of my family member also bought the same products for Christmas gifts. This is very fun ( if you have very dry sense of humor and does not get offended by anything for fun) game for older teenager to adults. We played this card game on the date of Christmas and two adult family members ( They are mid 50’s) withdrawed because they are so offended with the words on playing game. However, all young adults ( age 17, 21, 23, 27 and three 50’s) laughed so hard while playing this game. Famiy members who are just watching us playing this card game got to laugh as well and felt embarrassed what kind of answers we pick while playing. Here are one examples, the question was “What is ruining my current relationships?” Players pickeds answers like, “my ex-wife”, “Herpes”, “Sean Penn”, “AIDS”, and etc. If you have a horrible, mean sense of humor that you can joke with your friends, this is “THE ONE”. You should buy this and have fun with it. That does not mean that you are a bad person! It is just a game to play how bad we human can go. After playing this game, we all felt like we will go to hell on Christmas night. Have fun with it.

Great gift or for yourself for parties. Hilarious. You learn a lot about people. Haha

Great game to play with people you trust, cause the answers can get very derogatory

Love this game! We laugh and laugh and laugh at the crazy answers that come up to seemingly innocent questions. Definitely for adults with a good sense of humor that aren’t easily offended. It seems to be written by a bunch of stoned adolescent males, but who cares!? We all need a big laugh these days.Sometimes you can’t even read the cards because you’re laughing so hard. A weekly game night favorite.

Gift. Adult use only .

When I first heard about Cards Against Humanity I was wary. A friend had played it and said “Oh, Chris. You love games. This game is awesome. It’s like Apples to Apples but dirty.”Which made me grind my teeth and force a smile and say “Yeah, probably not for me.”Because even though I’m a huge game geek with a wall full of board games, I HATE Apples to Apples. Hate. To me A2A isn’t as much a game as some kind time-wasting torture activity meant to make my girlfriend yell at me about being anti-social at parties.But Cards Against Humanity is . . . different.And it’s not just because of the “offensive” humor or the vicious wit in the cards. Unlike A2A, Cards is an actual GAME with some really nice design behind it, backed up by crazy wit. The cards in Cards lock together in a way they simply never did in A2A and the optional house rules give you a chance to make this thing actually have a bit of strategy to it as opposed to the randomness of Apples 2 Apples.(I’m a huge fan of the “points” scoring rule where the top card gets 3 points, the 2nd gets 2 and the 3rd gets 3. Also, Rando Cardrissian. Amazing how much that guy wins.)Anyway: Tons of fun. Recommend. And burn your copy of Apples 2 Apples. That thing sucks.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a big fan of Apples to Apples. However, my friends and I (who are college-aged) would always come up with horrible combinations, using seemingly innocuous words to form awful connections. We’d even take the blank cards provided and make up our own. Recently, however, a friend of mine obtained Cards Against Humanity, which I immediately ordered. I was not disappointing.Cards Against Humanity has a similar setup to A2A, in that there are a set of community cards and a set of individual cards. The community cards have a phrase or fill-in-the-blank on them (such as “The TSA has recently banned _____ on airplanes”) and the individual cards have a noun or action on them (like “Shaquille O’Neil” or “White People” or worse that cannot be printed here). People playing have these white cards in their hands and play what they feel is the funniest/best fit for that question. Then a judge picks the card they feel is the best and the owner of that card wins the round.Keep in mind, it is rare to play the game to actually win. The fun comes from the ridiculous combinations you can make. And the set does not disappoint. There were very few “duds” in the deck and many of the community cards were so out there that it was impossible to not come up with a good example.The only real flaws I can think of are with the physical makeup of the deck itself. The weight of the cards is a bit flimsy, though nothing that would make you feel like it is cheap. The cards are also a bit small which may make holding them difficult.My biggest complain, however, is that the front and back of each card resembles each other too closely. Often I would find myself flipping the cards over trying to find the right side because from afar they look the same. Putting a more discernible logo on the backs to tell the front from back would be a lot more helpful for organizational purposes.Additionally, the material of this game is intended for adults only. The box clearly states 17+ and it means it. I wouldn’t play this game with anyone who isn’t in at least high school. Additionally, you’ll have to have a strong stomach and an evil sense of humor to enjoy this game. I wouldn’t play this with anyone too prudish.With all of this said, this game is incredibly fun with the right group of people, and the physical card flaws are minor and frankly don’t warrant a star taken away. The game is just too damn fun and you will have a great time with the right group of people.

This is the greatest party game ever! I won’t waste words rehashing all the great reviews you saw elsewhere. You want to know why I gave it one star.I gave it one star because, as my title implies, there are some illegal copies going around. Some are marketing and profiting off poorly made copies of this game in direct violation of the Creative Commons Attribution – Noncommercial – Share Alike license. You can find the legalese by googling that term. The language is very clear. Making homemade copies and selling them for any reason is copyright violation, and completely illegal. Watch out for descriptions that try to sneak around the law by claiming you are paying for their work in printing and packaging. The creative commons license is clear. You cannot make copies for commercial reasons of any kind. You can download the .pdf, print, and package the cards for yourself. Unfortunately, I received a poorly made knock off of this game and had to find this out the hard way.Also, the expansion pack has been made available by the makers of Cards Against Humanity only by direct purchase. You are not allowed to make copies, and the pdf version has not been released. So, watch out for illegal copies of the expansion pack too.Please help keep Amazon honest and safe for buyers and sellers alike. Report anyone who sells you bootlegged, copied, illegal versions of Cards Against Humanity.

Sometimes a rating of 5/5 stars isn’t enough. This game is entertaining for people who like to laugh at themselves, and are not sensitive to distasteful humor. How distasteful? Well, once while playing, the black card everyone had to answer to read “I got 99 problems but a ____________ ain’t one.” The winning card read “Opera crying into a Lean Cuisine.” While these particular cards are tame for this game, keep in mind that there are much more graphic cards. If you are unsure if this game is for you, read the instructions for the game prior to purchase; it can be found online. If the instruction manual seems too crass, you may be more satisfied with a rousing game of Apples To Apples.Aside from what type of person would enjoy this game, it should also be noted that these cards are on very heavy card stock. They are nearly liquid-proof, perhaps better described as liquid-tolerant. This game is usually enjoyed with adults beverages, and it seems that the manufacturers have taken this into consideration. The box in which these cards come in is also very compact, sturdy and durable, a perfect camping and travel companion! It is also a terribly entertaining game for what the manufacturers describe as “a party game for horrible people.”This game can be credited with showing who share a similar sense of humor in a friend group (or family). People who have a very particular sense of humor will continue to choose winning cards that are most similar to what they would say. If you already know their favorite type of humor, you can use this information advantageously and play cards that they may find hilarious, even if you only find it marginally funny. If you know you and your friends are terrible people, you all would enjoy a roaring game of Cards Against Humanity. Want to know if your family members are not as innocent as they seem? Get them Cards Against Humanity for the Holidays; maybe it will become a tradition to play it around the dinner table. If sarcasm is one of your most valued character traits I’m confident you will enjoy this product. With Cards Against Humanity, being a terrible person was never funnier, or more acceptable.

Eh it’s alright . I don’t think it’s all it’s hyped up to be. I like the absurd box better . But even that one isn’t all it’s hyped up to be

Sorry, infer what you will from this, but this game is hands-down the most fun I’ve ever had with a board or card game, bar none. I’ve found it more fun playing with people you know quite well, but it’s also a riot at parties where you may not know everyone as well; guaranteed you’ll have a much deeper understanding of them after busting this out. We laughed so hard, all night – the gut-busting, deep belly laughter that makes a fat girl like me realize the next day what stomach muscles really are ( and where they are – so sore in the belly and jaw the next day!) I’ve purchased all four expansion packs, as well as the bonus xmas edition from 2012, and cannot say enough good things about this game. My son and even his co-workers have asked to borrow this, it’s wicked good fun. Not for the faint of heart, this is for people who are not offended easily, but the title should express that well enough. If you’ve clicked on the link based on the title, you’re halfway to being the kind of person this was designed for. If you’ve read the reviews and are even considering the purchase? Do it, do it now. RIght now. You will NOT be sorry. Also, the guys who print this game are really, really effing cool – read a little about Cards Against Humanity LLC and you’ll see what I mean. ( For instance, donating the entire profit from the xmas edition in 2012 – I mean, what companies DO that in this day and age? They also make this free to print for anyone that wants to and has the capability. Again, who would DO that in this day and age?) Winners in my book all the way around – I’ll purchase every flipping extension pack they offer.***** EDIT ***** OK, folks – 8228 reviews, and only 178 that have three stars or fewer. Do the math, people; more than 97% of reviewers gave this 4 or 5 stars. These are excellent odds. I suspect the lower ratings are from people that really didn’t know what they were getting into, then found the game offensive. The descriptions states it’s a card game for horrible people, so everyone is warned. Buy this, you will not regret it.

So much fun.

Funny game for horrible adults

Hilarious!

My Husband and I joined a group playing this at a friends 2013 Christmas party and had a blast…we laughed so hard. I purchased it as a stocking stuffer for my Husband. We since have played it while over at the neighbors and while playing the game they purchased it via their smartphone (we had not even got half way through the game!), then we played it with another set of good friends and they went on line to purchase it. This game sells itself everytime you take it to a party or have a group over. I understand that this game is out of stock at the monment, but I really do recommend buying at least 1 or 2 expansion packs, because you won’t be able to stop playing….As others have said it is worth down loading and printing the game, while waiting for it to come back in stock. We played with some friends who had done this and we had the same amount of fun….warning though words like Smegma become part of your vocabulary and you look forward to pulling cards like “2 midgets s***ting into a bucket”, so you can lay it down and see your friends burst out laughing even before it is read out loud.I will end with a warning: THIS GAME IS NOT FOR THOSE THAT GET EASILY OFFENDED!

This game’s permanent home is in my backpack. Why? Because I bring it to school every day – no joke. I’m in dental school where sometimes you get a little downtime between patients or rotations. This game is how we pass the time, and it’s been a very inclusive game because you can play it with just a few people or a huge crowd.Like others, I’d probably describe it as a dirty version of Apples-to-Apples. Honestly, it’s like Apples-to-Apples had a baby with Urban Dictionary and this was the result. Heck, I’ve even played it with my parents and family before and even that is a hilarious experience despite it’s moments of awkward pauses. But then again, my family consists of three brothers (all in their twenties), my parents (in their early fifties), and myself, so that might explain how we can play a ridiculous game like this with no shame. But as you can see, it’s great for adults of all ages who have a sense of humor (this game WILL be crude, guaranteed) and even parties. I plan on breaking it out on Thanksgiving and Christmas this year since there’s no person under the age of 19 anymore in my extended family.If you want a preview of the types of topics / cards in the game, go to the manufacturer’s website. There’s a PDF you can download and determine for yourself if this is a game that’s kosher or worth investing in (and it is).

Discovered this game through my 19 year old daughter who had played it with her sorority sisters. She raved about it and wanted me to get it at Christmas, but they were sold out. Do not be taken by those reselling it for a higher price on Amazon. This game should cost $25 and the two expansions cost $10/ea. Got myself on the waiting list and was pleased when they contacted me around the 1st week in February to say that it was restocked for purchase! It came just before we went to a dinner party with friends and I took it. The game was a huge hit with everyone and we laughed all night!First of all, this is not a game for children. This is an adult game for the slightly warped mind (luckily almost all of my friends and family fit in that category). Have played this with my adult children, (19 and 23 years old), as well. Lots of laughs and thought provoking conversation. Have had so many people ask to borrow it!!! About 2 weeks ago I tried to order the first expansion, but it was sold out, again, as well as the game. Got myself on the waiting list again to buy the first expansion and discovered the second expansion was available. Emailed friends and family to tell them to get on the waiting list as well. Looking forward to getting the first expansion once it’s available again!

Cards against humanity. Don’t let the young ones play

Great to play with friends

The first time I played this game I laughed until my ribs hurt. I think the funniest part is the “shock factor” of many of the cards. After that the game is still entertaining, but it’s never like the first time you played. I really like the “pick two” cards because the combinations become more unique and unpredictable.If you think this game may offend you, it probably will. It’s not something that should be played in the presence of children or with your church group. The game is racist, sexist, and vulgar. But, it is more about the players than the cards. For example, during one of our games “the blood of Jesus Christ” was played on “Good to the last drop”. Separately those cards aren’t offensive but, when a player decided to lay them together they became incredibly offensive. So, carefully choose who you play this game with as some people will definitely find it offensive. Part of the fun of the game is discovering who the most horrible person is (you may be surprised)!My biggest complaint about the game is the massive amount of duplicates in the box. I really don’t think the game should contain any duplicate cards. This becomes especially annoying when the same card is laid by two players in the same hand. If it weren’t for this I would have rated this a 5 star product.I hear that adding the expansion packs and taking out some of the cards you don’t find funny or the duplicates really makes this game great. So, that’s what I’m planning on doing. We already threw out the black card that read “What is the most emo?” because we thought it was stupid.Overall, It’s a good game and I will continue to play!

I love it. It’s mean, cruel and offensive. And I loved how it makes people laugh as their inner jerk cannot help but sneak out.’not enough does that.

I purchased this game for my husband’s birthday just on the small off chance that friends we visit with don’t have it. I think there are only two couples I know that don’t have it. Why would that be? Well, this is by far the most hilarious and side bursting game we have ever played. There is only one warning – if you or anyone you plan to play with is easily offended by sex, Hitler/holocaust, human bodily functions, or political jokes or swearing DO NOT GET THIS GAME. If you look at that list and wonder what the big deal is then GET THIS GAME.Game play is simple. You are playing the most adult version of Apples to Apples that you can try to imagine. There are prompt cards that give you a scenario to answer. You have cards in your hand that you get to play as the response to the prompt. The person that played the prompt card gets to choose the best response. Whoever played that response gets a point. If you bother with keeping track of points.I have played it for hours both sober and drunk and have found it to be a blast either way. However, if someone is not old enough to be drinking legally they may not be ready for this game. Heck, if you don’t know what tentacle porn is you may not be old enough for this game.

Good fun

I purchased CAH for my girlfriend for Christmas. Also the two expansions and the holiday expansion, because I’m all about being a completionist.We arranged to play with 3 friends a couple days before the end of 2012 and we played until we ran out of black cards (135 plus however many are in the holiday expansion so I’m guessing 145-150).We played for 7-8 hours, stopping only for bathroom breaks. I didn’t win, I actually ended up last, but I didn’t care because I seriously laughed so much that I believe I gave myself a headache from lack of oxygen. A couple times I laughed until I cried.I love apples to apples but it’s too vanilla for me. CAH takes that game to the next level. There were a couple things that were misheard that I ended up immediately putting on the blank white cards (there are several black and white blanks included, again just like apples to apples) which just added to the game.We were drinking and I’d recommend that because it eases tension but everyone was enjoying their drinks in moderation (I had stopped drinking early because I had to drive, though).The real key to enjoying the game are the people that can read those cards and know that it’s a joke, not to be taken seriously. “Pac-Man uncontrollably guzzling cum”, one of the white cards, was never meant to be taken seriously.

This is a fun game. Warning, if you are easily embarrassed or conservative in any way, this game is not for you.Listening to you parents, siblings, friends, or other relatives say “Panda Sex” or “Doin’ it in the butt” can be hilarious for some,but not so much for others. By the way, those are far from the worst things you will hear. I kept it nice here. Figure out which kind of person you are. If that seems like something you would want to hear, then buy the game. If you do not want to hear grandma or someone else say such things, then stick to Apples to Apples.We used to cross out and write our own Apples to Apples cards to make it more depraved. Then this game came out. Well that just made me sad, I could have been rich. Damn it! Well I am sure I am not the only one who did it, but don’t have to do it anymore. Our friends at Cards Against Humanity LLC took care of it and continue to put out more and more, sicker and sicker cards for your gaming pleasure.

First played CAH some years ago and finally decided I had to get my own set. Yes, it can be rude, crude and socially unacceptable, but that’s half the fun!

I’ve been hearing so much about this game, and I love opportunities to do things together with a good group of people. So, I finally decided to buy this game. It was everything I hoped and more! The rules are fairly simple, and it didn’t take long for the group of us to understand the premise of the game and then to truly embrace it. The game doesn’t tell you when a person has, “won” so we decided after playing for over an hour that we should stop when someone reached 10 points. We had a small group this time, just four of us. And because it was our first time, we didn’t use any of the recommended variations to the game. And I don’t currently have any of the many expansion packs. The rules are simple, find the best (or worst possible) words to fill in the blank for a phrase, or to answer a question. The power to decide who provided the best answer is in the hands of one person and it rotates each turn. There are lots of possible answers, and a decent amount of “questions” which is where I think all of the expansion decks must come in handy. The cards are the same stock as a good set of playing cards. So, that makes shuffling them fairly easy to do. In all, it was definitely worth the money and I can’t wait to play again. We even had a laugh over the inspection tag that was located in the box. It’s NOT your standard tag. I’m already planning a get together so I can get friends together to play. I paid full price for this game, and did not receive any discount. These are my unbiased opinions.

Like Apples to Apples, only 10x worse/funnier/holy crap it’s awesome. This game is what makes innocent souls see the “dark” side, and gives the already-dirty minds something even more to laugh about (even if it’s almost sinful to laugh at). Cards Against Humanity ranges from just putting in a card because you gotta get rid of it to one that fits the bill so perfectly everyone will cry from laughter.I don’t really know what else to say about this game. It’s fun, horrible, crazy, kinda disgusting and much more all wrapped into one. If you love Apples to Apples, you’ll really love this game (unless you wanna keep your innocence and clean mind). I’d also recommend playing this game with at least 5 or 6 other people. I played with almost 15 people a couple days ago, and you get so much more variety in answers (obviously) and way more laughs. I wouldn’t recommend anyone under 17 or mayyybe 16 playing this game, mostly because (1) they won’t understand half of what the answer cards say and (2) they don’t need to fill their minds with what this game has at such an early age.

This game is great for game night and will tell you a little more about your friends based on what their replies are.

Ever wondered what a grown-up version of Apples to Apples would look like? Well, Cards Against Humanity is the perfect response to that desire.If you’ve never played Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity, let me fill you in on how CAH works. There are Black Cards and there are White Cards. At the start of each round, one chosen player (The Judge) will select a Black Card from the stack. On these cards will be a phrase or question that needs to be answered/completed. This is where white cards come in. Players have 10 White Cards, which they use to complete the Black Card’s question(s)/blank(s). After each player (besides The Judge) has chosen the best White Card in their hand to go with the Black Card, all players turn their White Cards in to The Judge. From here, The Judge reviews the White Cards and decides his/her favorite pairing of the White and Black Cards. The player who played the Judge’s chosen White Card gets a point (if that matters to your group) and the gameplay starts all over.Let me give you an example with word-for-word examples of what you’ll find on the Black and White cards.1. The Judge plays a Black Card that says: “Life for the Native Americans was forever changed after the white man introduced them to ____________.”2. All players (exc. the Judge) choose a White Card.3. After everyone has chosen their White Card, the Judge reviews the responses: “Smallpox Blankets”, “Drinking Alone”, “A Can of Whoop-Ass”, and “Take-Backsies”(Before you read these and think I’m an awful person, these are actual White Cards that I have seen played on the aforementioned Black Card)4. The Judge chooses “Drinking Alone” and the player who picked this White Card wins the round.This game is great fun, but keep in mind that there are some edgy/racy/raunchy/explicit/graphic/vulgar White and Black cards. In fact, that’s the point.If you don’t have the right sense of humor to laugh at a card combination like “Lifetime presents: __Pretending to Care__, the story of __Not Giving a S*** about the Third World__”, then this is not a game that I would recommend for you.This is not a children’s game, and this is not a game to play with Grandma (unless Grandma has a really effed up and awesome sense of humor). But if you and your friends enjoy laughing at the darker side of life, art, and pop culture… This is the perfect game for your next party.
