Cards Against Humanity is an adult card-based party game where players complete fill-in-the-blank statements using often offensive, risqué, or politically incorrect words or phrases printed on playing cards. One player acts as the 'Card Czar' each round, choosing a black question card, while other players submit white answer cards. The Czar selects the funniest or most inappropriate answer, with that player winning the round.

“This game is perhaps the best game to play with friends who are drunk and also, at their core, terrible people. But still, no game has made me laugh as frequently and as reliably as Cards Against Humanity.”
