Card Against Humanity

Zach Goodier

So I was able to play this game, and let me tell you, it's a riot.  The goal of the game is to take turns reading a question/statement, and the other players use cards in their hands to make funny and/or disturbing responses to the cards.  The reader then chooses which one they like out of the pile of answers (not knowing who said what), and the winner gets to keep the question card as a point.  You set the goal, and whoever has the most points wins.  Simple, right? That's the beauty, it's easy to pick up, easy to play, almost endless fun.

The black card is the question/statement card, and the white cards are the responses played by the players.

This game is best as a party game, so don't think you can just play it with a buddy, or family, or any polite company, for that matter.  Have of the answer cards are not meant to be read at all in polite company, so keep that in mind before deciding to pick this up.  The other half may not be openly explicit, but when you think of what they mean, it can be easy to make them become cruel, disturbing answers that can be either hilarious or the most upsetting combinations of words ever spoken aloud, it really depends on your imagination, or just the need to throw out anything at all.

They can get SOOOOOO much worse than this, but I don't have the guts to put some of the more extreme examples on this site.

There really isn't much more to say, honestly.  I would highly recommend this simple, yet endlessly enjoyable card game for anyone looking to spice up a get-together with some raunchy comedy.  It really is fun to just relax and see who comes up with the funniest responses.  I hardly cared about the score when I played (which was good, since I wasn't winning... ever.), it was just funny to see what everyone had.  There are some obvious trump cards, which are easy to play to have an instant victor when used in a variety of answers, but it really isn't set in stone.  It's all about what the reader finds entertaining, so the human element in incredibly significant in this game, but in a good way.  But that's enough of that, I'll be off looking up more pictures of combos from the game and laughing 'til I need to be taken to the hospital, probably.  Afterwards, I'll start looking at the expansions, too.

Good:

 -Simple, easy to pick up card game.

-HILARIOUS when played with the right group.

-Excellent party-starter/ice-breaker.

Bad:

-Not for good people, the box even says it's only meant for "horrible people," so anyone who has a delicate sense of humor or none at all shouldn't even think of picking this game up.
