Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people. Unlike most of the party games you’ve played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends.
The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a Black Card, and everyone else answers with their funniest White Card.
Cards Against Humanity is a card game that has been compared to the Apples To Apples party game. It’s main difference from its predecessor and other similar games.
Bigger Blacker Box
The rules are simple everyone plays a card to the middle, including the judge.
The judge picks their favorite answer and whoever’s card they pick wins that round. The person with the most rounds win is crowned the champion… until someone else plays another game.
A brief history of the game
Cards Against Humanity started as a Kickstarter project, looking for $4,000 to print a small run of the game. The Kickstarter was funded in 24 hours and had received over $15,000 by the end of its funding period.
The game began with 30 white cards and 100 black cards. Since then more than 300 new cards have been added.
The game has since moved beyond the Kickstarter project and was made available for purchase online at the official Cards Against Humanity website.
Gameplay
Everyone is dealt ten white answer cards.
Then, three black question cards are flipped over.
Each player looks at the black card in their hand and decides which of their white cards will make a better response to it.
The judge picks one of the players’ answer, the winner is whoever played the best card in terms of what the judge is looking for.
The player to the left of the winner becomes the new judge, and a new round begins.
In order to allow players who have gone over ten cards to continue playing without disrupting gameplay, each player can get up to five white answer cards from other players when they are down to their final five cards.
