Cards Against Humanity: its the party game that dares to go where other games fear to tread! Known for its dark humor and often outrageous fill-in-the-blank prompts, it’s a guaranteed conversation starter (and sometimes a conversation stopper!). Are you ready to unleash your inner comedian?
But before you dive headfirst into the politically incorrect abyss, it’s wise to know what you are getting into! Luckily, the rules are incredibly simple to pick up. Grasping the core mechanic is easy. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be crafting hilarious (and maybe slightly offensive) combinations in no time.
Understanding the Instructions
The game centers around two types of cards: black cards and white cards. The black cards feature a question or a fill-in-the-blank statement. The white cards contain answer options, usually absurd or inappropriate phrases. Get ready to embrace your wicked side.
Each round, one player is designated the Card Czar. The Card Czar draws a black card and reads it aloud to the group. Everyone else then secretly selects their best white card (or cards, depending on the black card) to answer the prompt and submits them face down.
The Card Czar shuffles the submitted white cards and reads each combination aloud. Their task is to select the funniest response to determine the winner of that round. The winner gets to keep the black card as a point. Then the role of Card Czar rotates to the next player.
The instructions Cards Against Humanity also include some house rules, such as “re-drawing” a hand of white cards if you really hate your options. Feel free to adapt the rules to suit your group’s preferences, because the most important thing is to have fun and laugh (or cringe) together!
Continue playing until you run out of steam or someone accumulates a predetermined number of black cards (usually ten). Remember that the beauty of this game is its flexibility. Dont be afraid to inject your own creativity. Now gather your friends, unleash your dark side, and get ready for a night of unforgettable (and maybe regrettable) laughter!
