What is Cards Against Humanity about?
Play begins when a judge, known as the “Card Czar”, chooses a black question or blank card from the top of the deck and shows it to all players. Each player holds a hand of ten white answer cards, and hands a face-down card (sometimes two) to the Card Czar representing their answer to the question. Card czars decide which answer (or answers) are funniest in light of the question.
As a reward, the player who submitted the chosen card(s) will receive an Awesome Point, then the player on the left will become the next Card Czar. Players continue to play until they agree to stop, at which point the player with the most Awesome Points wins.
You can poke fun at practically every taboo or awkward topic including race, religion, gender, poverty, torture, alcoholism, drugs, sex (why not? ), abortion, child abuse, celebrities, and those everyday little annoyances like “Expecting a burp and vomiting on the floor”. In addition, there are a few extra rules.
There are some questions that require the participant to pick two cards sequentially to complete the answer. These are called “Pick 2” questions. There is also a gambling component. Players who believe they have two possible winning answers to a question may bet a single Awesome Point to play a second answer. When the gambler wins, they retain the wager, but if they lose, the player who contributed the winning answer receives both points.
