This is not a review about playing Cards Against
Humanity, it's a review of the fallout endured from playing Cards
Against Humanity. Take it as a warning, if you will.
If you aren't a horrible person already, you will soon be. You will play Cards Against Humanity, and as others have said, you will be shocked, appalled, and worst of all, you will learn and adapt. You'll reach for your smartphone and search for terms you've drawn such as "The Übermensch", "Heteronormativity", and "The Three-Fifths Compromise". You will commit these and many other newly-learned words to memory.
And that's where it all comes crashing down.
At first, you might allow "front butt" to casually wander its way into a conversation here and there. As more of your subconscious fights to unleash the trauma, you'll find yourself uttering "nipple blades" and "mouth herpes" in the most unacceptable of times. You'll visit the Cards Against Humanity website and bomb them with suggestions for new cards like "Cutting the cheese at a funeral" and "Scissoring".
Soon, you will meet up with new people to inflict Cards Against Humanity upon them and they'll be hooked. You will receive random voicemails and texts, asking for another hit of that "8 oz. of sweet, Mexican black tar heroin", and you will comply, because you're just as hooked as they are. They'll bring new friends in to freshen up the game...you will feel a rush as the look of shame crosses their innocent eyes as they win a round by playing "Amputees" against your "White People Like _____".
"I was just throwing that card away!" they'll proclaim, but you know the sad truth.
You will buy the expansion pack. You will host parties where you play through every card in both boxes.Read more ›

So much fun, this game works so well with the type of humor my social circle enjoys. Also, we are probably going to hell.
I'm pretty sure that owning this game is the only reason I get invited to parties these days. Worth it.
I wanted this game, but it was sold out and 3rd party sellers were
charging $70-$100 for what is usually a $25 dollar game. DON"T DO IT.
You don't have to go without! Go to the manufacturers website. There
is a version on PDF you can print at home or take to a printer and have
your own temporary or trial version for $10. I did this yesterday, and
my friends and I played last night. It was great fun! I still plan to
buy a full version when they are available again at normal pricing, but I
couldn't wait to try it out. You can also print a copy and give it as a
gift with a little note saying the full version is coming. STILL it'll
cost you less than folding and buying from a reseller. This is a
Creative Commons game, and IMHO ripping people off is against the whole
idea of Creative Commons.

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.Read more ›

The game was restocked just in time for the "Blizzard of 2013" and we
played for about six hours while periodically taking breaks to go
outside and check on the snowstorm's progress. The game is clever and
insanely funny. I'm sure we'll be buying the expansion packs and I can't
wait to play it with other friends!
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.
