You know how, when you play [[Apples to Apples]], the goal quickly changes from "Play the most correct combo" to "Play the funniest combo", and then to "Play the most terrifyingly offensive combo"? Like, someone plays "<span style="color:#009900">Crispy</span>" or some shit, and you play "<span style="color:#FF0000">Anne Frank</span>"? That's '''Cards Against Humanity'''. It's specifically set up to be as offensive as possible, like a good episode of South Park, but pulls it off well enough to come across as hilarious, instead of morbid.

The
game
itself is very simple. Every player starts with a hand of ten white cards drawn from the white deck. One player takes their turn to act as the "Card Czar," the official judge of that round. (The basic rules state that whomever most recently took a shit has the dubious honor of being the first Card Czar of a new game.) The Card Czar starts by drawing a black card from the black card deck and reads it out loud to the other players. The black card will contain a question or statement of some sort, but will have anywhere from one to three blank spaces in it à la Mad Libs. The other players will then submit enough white cards from their hands
to
fill in those blanks on the black card, generally in the most crass and offensively lulzy way they possibly can
with
the cards at their disposal. The Czar will pick which submission they felt was the best and the winner of that round gets one "Awesome Point
,
" taking the black card to keep track of their score
,
all players draw enough white cards to maintain a full hand
, and
then the next player takes their turn to be
the
Czar. And so it continues
.
Whenever the game finally ends you
will
know who is truly
the
most horrible in your circle of reprobate friends
.
There is a website that lets you play a clone of Cards Against Humanity over the internet, for fun times on Ventrilo or Skype. It comes with several genre-based Card Packs, in case you play amongst [[furry|furries]] or [[/v/|/v/irgins]].
