House Rules (Variation of Card Against Humanity Game Rules)

Here are some different ways to spice up the Cards Against Humanity Game rules:

Happy Ending
The “Make a Haiku” Black is the official ceremonial ending of a good game of Cards Against Humanity and this card should be reserved for the end. When you’re ready to stop playing, play this card to end the game. Haikus don’t need to follow the 5-7-5 form, they just have to be read dramatically.

Rebooting the Universe
Players may trade in an Awesome Point at any time to return to the deck as many White Cards as they’d like and draw back up to ten.

Packing Heat
When playing Pick 2’s, all players draw an extra card before playing the hand to open more options.

Rando Cardrissian
Every round, pick a random White Card from the deck and place it into play. The card belongs to an imaginary player called Rando Cardrissian and if he wins the game, all players go home in a state of everlasting shame.

God Is Dead
Play with a Card Czar. Instead, each round every player votes on their favourite combination and the card with the most votes wins.

Survival of the Fittest
After everyone has answered the Black Card, players take turn eliminating one card each and the last remaining card is declared the funniest.

Serious Business
Each round, the Card Czar ranks the top three cards in the following order instead of picking a favourite card;
Best Card gets 3 Awesome Points
Second Best Card gets 2 Awesome Points
Third Best Card gets 1 Awesome Point
Keep a running tally of the score and at the end of the game the player with the most points is declared the funniest (mathematically speaking).

Never Have I Ever
Players may discard any cards they don’t understand at any time but must confess their ignorance to the group and suffer the resulting humiliation.
