Uhm can someone explain to nonUS audience what exactly is this Cards Against Humanity?
- dsjoerg 10y agoThey make some party card games where you win by coming up with the funniest combination of the cards you are dealt.
- detaro 10y agoA card game about combining cards to funny/offensive combinations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cards_Against_Humanity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cards_Against_Humanity
- dictum 10y agoAs a former member of the non-US audience who don't know what exactly is this Cards Against Humanity, I can confirm it's better to remain under the bliss of ignorance.
- johanbrook 10y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cards_Against_Humanity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cards_Against_Humanity It's a card game where a group of people piece together sentences with cards with phrases and words. One of the funniest "party games" I've played.
- Pxtl 10y agoA party card game about combining cards with tasteless jokes on them to make larger tasteless jokes. The company is also known for viral marketing campaigns, like mail-order poo. They also have a more elaborate social deduction game called Secret Hitler about politics in Weimar Germany. With cartoon lizards.
- titanix2 10y agoThis game (Secret Hitler) ruined quite of few nights when I was an exchange student: people kept playing it while it was limited to only 10 players IIRC and was an obvious albeit less-fun rip off of the game "Les Loups-garous de Thiercelieux"[1].

- ajkjk 10y agoThat sounds like it is itself a ripoff of the game Mafia [1] which is ubiquitous in the US. Unless it came first, I guess. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game)
- chris_7 10y agoIf Secret Hitler is a ripoff of anything, it's Avalon, which is similar to Mafia/Werewolf, but is much deeper and lacks the issue of player elimination.
- Pxtl 10y agoI'd say it draws more from The Resistance/Avalon Resistance than Werewolf, since it focuses on voting and scoring points more than killing players and eliminating them from the game.
- pimlottc 10y agoAside from what everyone else has said, it's also a shameless knock-off of Apples to Apples, which preceded it. It's basically the same game, but more profane.
- iaw 10y agoI'd call it an "intelligent continuation" rather than shameless knock-off. Apples to Apples targets innuendo for a family setting, CAH is a very adult game.
