What is Cards Against Humanity?
Cards Against Humanity is a party card game made for adults. Each round one player acts as the judge and reads a question or fill-in-the-blank card, everyone else plays the answer card from their hand they think is funniest, and the judge picks a winner. Its makers sell boxed sets and also offer a free version you can download and print at home. The humour is deliberately offensive, so it is not one for younger players.

- You want the same judge-picks-the-funniest format for a group with teenagers or family in it.
- You want to play online with friends who are not in the same room.
