Okay, so I've ordered Cards Against Humanity. Other than going to the site for Pretend You're Xyzzy, how could we play this online? Anyone else played this?

Yes, many times. It's amazing!

However, I didn't buy it but took their PDF file and printed them out and I played 3-4 times now over the months and these cards are a hit and very very crude.

Not for playing with those who are get insulted easily.


My favorite question went along the lines of :

What gets you laid first your first date?
Winning answer?

Date rape

I downloaded the source code from Pretend You're Xyzzy, so I'll see if I can get something to work here. But it would be an experiment, that's for sure.

I played CAH on Saturday night at a housewarming and before I knew it, 5 hours had passed and all the gin was in my stomach.

It was the strangest time perception dilation I've ever experienced.

It wasn't gin in your stomach...

Such a fun game. I guess to play online one thing we might do is just get everyone who has a deck together and we all use our own? There might be a problem with repeats but I don't think it would be THAT big of a problem.

I tried the online one once, it sucked. People kept dropping in and out and dealers couldn't pick the good cards for shit.

Also the human interaction is key.

Last time I played, I cried. CRIED WHEN I PLAYED.

I always like the ones that hint at a larger story, like this one.

Only two things in life are certain: Death and

Survivor's guilt

Cards Against Humanity is only as good as the people you play it with much like Apples to Apples.

I've played both with groups where we were howling with laughter and times when you just wanted to punch someone in the face for picking the lamest shit.

I'd imagine playing it online would be awful and devoid of all the fun that comes with playing a game like this while interacting with human beings.

I played with my siblings and cousins on Christmas. It was a BLAST. I wish I could link y'all to a video on facebook...

I was so drunk on gin and power that when I got to read the questions and be the arbiter I read them aloud in Hedonismbot's voice.

I love cards against humanity, but only because I have friends who are as terrible a person as I am.

Beer Money was always a fun game too, for the exact same reason.

An online version of this would be amazing. I'm not sure how you'd accomplish it though. Even if everyone had a copy of the game and you could trust that we'd all stick to the cards in our hand, there would still be the "mystery" requirement we'd need to fulfill by all the answers. The Card Zhar isn't supposed to know who's answers are who's. Heck. I also like the "Rando" element where you just take the first card off the deck and add it to the pile of answers.

My wife bought this for me for Christmas and we had a bunch of friends over for a Christmas bash. We spend several hours playing this game. I can't remember any of the greatest answers that night, but I do recall a haiku that won a round because it was about Santa Clause killing hookers.[DOUBLEPOST=1364021577][/DOUBLEPOST]If we had a game designer in our midst I bet a downloadable unofficial version of this for halforums use could be done with little effort or expense.

A modified version of a poker client would work. You just have to have each individual only see their cards, with the ability to reveal them and maybe a voting client for the judgement.

"Lifetime presents: Just the Tip, a story of half-assed foreplay."

That was my winning play last game I had with my friends. I'm rather proud of it.

A couple of friends are hosting for International Tabletop Day and this is one of the games they are promoting. After the past debacle that was a dozen rounds of Resistance (and plenty of uncalled for insults), I am wary of joining in on this game. I plan to bring my own games that I know I'll enjoy and invite others to join.

Mike and I picked up CAH at PAX Prime last year without having any idea what it was. We've never played Apples To Apples, saw they were handing out t-shirts with weird words or phrases on them, and decided to buy after reading a couple cards. Probably one of the best purchases we've ever made!
Now we bring it everywhere and make everyone play. We even picked up the expansions shortly after (and need a better storage system...)!

It's awesome when you really know the people you're playing with and can cater to them when they're card czar. Mike loves anything dealing with destruction and racism (just to clarify, he's not racist, but racist jokes are humorous). And my favorite card is "SASSY BLACK WOMAN" because she first in EVERY situation. I love her.
It's also a great way to get to know someone new and see just how terrible they are! :)

Here's 2 of my favorites:
Lifetime presents Finger Painting, the store of a bleached asshole.
(^^ Good lord that picture is huge!)

What kind of amazing things did you guys write on your blank cards?

We made a "Helen Keller" card and also a "Kelly Kapowski Blow-up Doll" card. :)
Oh and something about cleaning up the floors at a porn theater.
