First played with a group of 11 people while on a mini-vacation with my girlfriend. Had the most fun that night while playing that game than anything else the whole weekend. To compare it to another game: It's Apples to Apples, but very very very perverted. My favorite card was, "Firing a rifle into the air while balls deep in a squealing hog." Priceless when I picked that card up.

u/TomPalmer1979 Jun 26 '12
I have made a concentrated effort NOT to look through the cards yet, because I want my first time playing to be a funny surprise. But I did cheat and look through some. I think my favorites so far are "Glenn Beck getting his balls caught on a shower hook", or from the expansion pack, "Making the penises kiss".

u/jaesin Jun 26 '12
First round I played with my family, my grandmother played Making the Penises kiss.
It won, and we were all slightly shocked.

My first game started with me throwing down "Lifetime presents child beauty pageants, the story of concealing a boner."

When I picked up that card to read it, people started getting annoyed at how much I was laughing.

u/whits_ism Jun 26 '12
That card is our group's "Instant Win" card. It wins in any context regardless of contenders.
For our mini-vacation, hotel security was called because we were laughing too much/loudly. Little to no alcohol was involved in that case.

Apples to apples, where every card is Nazi Germany.

u/G_zus Jun 26 '12
Yes, its apples to apples for terrible people. I finally got this game a few weeks ago after it was sold out for about 6-8 months, and literally bring it to every BBQ and party I go to and it ends up being the life of the party. People can join in or leave whenever, and you can have like 4-20 people playing, so its a perfect game to play while drinking.
This is the first example that I saw that had me sold: http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/cards-against-humanity.jpg
But we've had some awesome cards dealt such as...
Dealer: Next on ESPN2, _______.Players: -Dwarf Tossing -Jizzing in a pool of childrens tears. -Poorly timed Holocaust jokes -Just the tip -Getting drunk on mouth wash

I've played apples to apples a long time ago. Are the rules the same for this game? I can't remember exactly. Does the person with the black card choose only 1 of the white cards that they like the most?
1

Jun 26 '12
Yep. There are a few black cards that make you play 2, or draw 2, play 3, etc., but yeah, the person with the black card chooses one white card (or set of white cards, in the case of "play 2") he/she likes the most. It's ridiculous amounts of fun for such a simple game.

u/Ultrace-7 Jun 26 '12
It's even better since that card is Next on ESPN2, the World Series of _______.
It opens up entirely ridiculous avenues such as, "The World Series of Christopher Walken" which almost won that round.

And it's free?

u/mobsta Jun 26 '12
Not really, it's free to download the .PDF of the game, which you still have to print which will cost money. The game is free, the cards are not!
1
u/Ultrace-7 Jun 26 '12
You can print your own set for free, but it's hundreds of cards you would need to print (with a lot of black ink for the black cards) and cut out and all that... Or you can just plop down $25 for the basic set, which is very large and totally worth the money.

Of course this was awesome, until everyone on reddit just joined and crashed the server :(

u/lonko Jun 26 '12
Great, now I have to wait for it to get fixed to try it...

u/FapFlop Jun 26 '12
Oh, it won't get fixed. Reddit just needs to get bored of trying for it to come back up.

u/Reethk_Vaszune Jun 26 '12
That link was posted 6 hours ago. It's still down.
I don't think Reddit's getting bored of trying.

u/ajanata Jun 27 '12
Hi, I run that online version. Yeah, you guys crashed it. Good job! (No, really.) It had been running for more than 3 months without crashing, which is a lot better than I would have expected.
I've restarted the server. Sorry I haven't gotten to this sooner, I was just informed that it had been linked here. I will see about setting up multiple instances of the server in case a single instance crashes, and putting some sort of front-end on it to list the available instances. I'll also see about some sort of better monitoring that will alert me if the server goes down.
Go back to having fun, guys. I'll keep an eye on it for the rest of the night in case it goes down again (though at this point most people have probably forgotten about it).

u/Ultrace-7 Jun 27 '12
I bookmarked it for future reference. Some friends and I had discussed doing some sort of the game over Twitter, which would have been awkward at best. This is a better solution.

If IRC is more your thing, I run a bot that runs this game over at irc.subluminal.net #cardsagainsthumanity (edit: fixed link).
The bot's open source too, if you feel like running one for just your friends.

Had to judge the card: What gets better with age? Friend played: Necrophilia.

u/Ultrace-7 Jun 26 '12
________: Kid tested, mother approved. I thought for sure I would have it with "fingering" until I found out the guy across from me played "incest."

u/shadowdude777 Jun 26 '12
"An Oedipus complex" and "Coat hanger abortions" are the trump cards for that one, in my opinion.

u/dakkian Jun 26 '12
"Firing my rifle in the air while balls deep in a squealing hog" is my personal favorite.

We played CaH at the meet up last weekend.
Black: I never really understood ________ until I encountered _______. White A: Dick Cheney White B: Firing my rifle in the air while balls deep in a squealing hog
It was a good night.

u/Gabe14228 Jun 26 '12
I'm sorry, but "Glenn Beck projectile vomiting while a brood of crab spiders hatch in his brain and crawl out through his tear ducts" is my trump card

u/anathelia Jun 26 '12
I held onto this card for so long trying to find the right time to play it before I realized that any time is the right time to play an oddly specific and detailed card about Glenn Beck. haha

There were two instances that'll be with me forever.
First, my magnum opus: 1: Two dwarves shitting into a bucket, 2: slow motion, 3: PROFIT!
Then, a friend's (and she still feels terrible for this one): CTV News presents: African children, the story of dying.

u/Ultrace-7 Jun 26 '12
I never feel bad, but if I was going to, I would have felt bad for "I never understood Nazis until I encountered the Jews."
I won that round. ;)

I was playing with a few friends when the card "I drink to forget ____." I'd put down "Alcoholism"

You can order it from amazon.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cards+against+humanity&x=0&y=0
but it is kind of expensive there...

Jun 26 '12
Yeah... I already searched it at Amazon.co.uk. It´s great to order there in the case of pc and console games, but not for something that special.
I will try to craft it myself when I have some more free time, as there is a free pdf print out on their web-side.

It's a bullshit price. I'd have bought it in an instant had it any comparable price to the US one.

I posted this not only to brag, but to show my thanks and appreciation to Josh and the CAH team. Amazon really fucked up my order, shipping it to an address that I had long since deleted off of my Amazon account. I have no idea why they shipped it there, and their customer service couldn't explain it either. All they could do was refund my purchase, not send me a new one.
So Josh Dillon (from the CAH team) was able to get me a copy. There was a lot of difficulty, not on our parts. The USPS actually freaking LOST my order. It took months. But Josh was really patient and really cool about it, and managed to find a way to get me my copy. So really, my copy of the game means a lot to me. I seriously can't thank him enough.
I ordered the expansion pack with no troubles; I just wanted to make sure they got my money.
