  • Hilarious, irreverent humor engine
  • Simple, intuitive gameplay
  • Lively, social group dynamics
  • Robust, varied expansions
  • Diminishing shock value
  • Occasionally outdated prompts
  • Content offensive to some
  • Repetitive without expansions

Cards Against Humanity delivers big laughs and easy, fast gameplay, according to reviews, and it shines with larger groups that enjoy edgy, NSFW, dark humor and its many expansion packs. Reviews also flag clear caveats: the shock value fades with repeat play unless you add expansions, some prompts feel outdated or offensive for certain audiences, and it’s not a fit for conservative crowds or family gatherings without careful curation.

  • This game is really cool to play on a Friday night with some friends, nice topics to talk about it as well. Worth it to play!!!

  • This game is too much fun. It’s a little dated now but still holds truth on game nights! I highly recommend playing this with a glass of wine or a cocktail in hand, so much fun! Great stocking stuffer, the season is also almost upon us.

  • You’re lying if you say some of your best memories with friends hasn’t been playing this game. Such a staple for game night!

  • This game is only as good as the people you play it with. I played this a lot in college. I have played CAH with close friends (yay!) and strangers (hit or miss). My friends and I even made our own custom deck with inside jokes once. Which is to say - if you have dark, twisted, odd, silly, or obscene humor, you might really enjoy this game! Play this with people you know well, so you can target their sense of humor. Play late at night when everything is funny. Keep expectations low...

  • Hilarious and fun with all types of friends/groups! Cards Against Humanity never fails to make me laugh when I play with friends. No matter how many years it’s been, they come up with hilarious and insane cards that keep the game fun forever. Some of my funniest memories playing card games with friends come from this game lol.

  • A really solid game, but I think the downside is that it lacks in subtlety—I personally like playing these kinds of games with more ambiguous prompts/answers, so that there's room for people's interpretations and cleverness to shine. With CAH, almost every card /could/ work for every prompt in some way, so there's just not a lot of nuance there.

  • It's really fun the first couple of times of playing, but then you must buy the expansion packs to "keep the spark alive". Otherwise, you pretty much already know what's coming which takes the fun out of it.

  • SO MUCH FUN! I have had this game for years and it never disappoints. So fun for girls nights, roadtrips, camping, you name it!! There are so many fun variations that you can play repeatedly and will rarely have the same prompt and answers. It is all about knowing your audience and knowing just how far to take it. I have had many hysterical laughs over this game. It is truly a staple in our house!! I only wish there was a newer edition so I can laugh at new prompts! I have even bought this as a house warming gift for multiple friends!

  • Originally got these when you could just print them off the internet for a pay-what-can amount. Eventually upgraded to an "fancy" deck and some expansions after the printed ones were destroyed from too much play. Have played this game all over the world with all sorts of people and it is always a racous, enjoyable time and you always learn more about the people you are playing with than you expect to.

  • Fun games for friends and love the company’s recent actions politically.

    Feedback

    Have a family friendly edition

  • Can be fun with the right people!

    Feedback

    Can be awkward or boring with anyone who isn't a very close friend.

  • Fun game to play with friends who aren't scared to get a little uncomfortable. Definitely gave us all laughs with the different combos that came up.

    Feedback

    If you play games a lot we definitely recommend getting the expansion packs as the base pack isn't very big.

  • Literally the best game that I’ve ever played and a great way to break the ice with a new group of people.

  • Love it! Fun game to play with people you know well or people you just met!

  • Classically inappropriate game. Cards are high quality, always a hilarious time

  • This game is quite the adventure. I have never laughed so hard among my friends when playing this game. Fair warning: do not play it with anyone who may be sensitive to certain topics or your family.

  • This is such a fun game. Any time my friends get together and we don’t know what to do, this always turns into such a fun night when we play this! It gets everyone laughing with each other and over just a super fun card game!

  • Cards Against Humanity is a must-have for fans of dark, irreverent humor and those who enjoy party games that are offbeat and unpredictable. If you’re playing with a group that appreciates the kind of humor it offers, it’s a laugh riot. Just be aware that it’s not for everyone, and be mindful of who you’re playing with.

  • A classic game to play with a group. Always brings laughs, and awkward funny moment. The base deck is fun, but it gets extra fun when you add other cards. No game night is complete without a round of this game.

  • I enjoy this game as an option for an adult game night. It always generates laughs and good memories. I appreciate that it’s small enough to travel with for vacation. Just don’t play it around the children!
