Are you bored with Apples to Apples? Have you overplayed poker? Are old school card games not cutting it anymore? Then boy do I have a treat for you.
It's called Cards Against Humanity and if you haven't heard of it or had the chance to play it yet, then I feel bad for you. It's a game exactly like Apples to Apples, but the cards say some pretty insane stuff. It's not even that they are borderline bad, the cards are cross the line, over the cliff, bad. But that makes for some hilarious matches if you have a decent sense of humor. Find a friend who has this game, grab the beverage of your choice (just makes it even more fun) and have yourself a good ole time. There are a few strategies I can share with you as the crown for "Most Horrible Person" is up for grabs for the winner. Here are some tips as you begin this journey to being a horrible person:
Play to the card holder.
If you're holding a dirty or potentially offensive card (which is 90% of them) it's probably not in your best interest to give that card to Goody Two-Shoes Jenny. She will likely not want to or be able to read it aloud and you will not be winning that black card. If you've got your most immature friend as the card holder that round, play the fart joke card for sure.
Make sure you have Google at your fingertips.Nothing is more embarrassing than playing a card when its meaning is no where near what you think it is. If you don't know the person or the object, take a second to look it up. But I will say, however, some of them are so crazy that there is just no explanation. (e.g. "flying sex snakes"... WHY?)
Do NOT play with your grandparents.
Unless they are the coolest grandparents on the planet, don't even bring up this game to them. You don't want to be playing with grandaddy and pull the "How did I lose my virginity" card. Talk about uncomfortable. I would suggest just sticking to playing with your friends at a pregame or something. It's not exactly an around the dinner table with the fam kinda game.
If you are easily offended or do not enjoy things that are super fun, just stick to playing Old Maid and leave Cards Against Humanity for the big boys.
