'''''Cards Against Humanity''''' is an adult [[party game]] in which players complete fill-in-the-blank statements, using words or phrases typically deemed offensive, risqué, or [[political correctness|politically incorrect]], printed on [[playing cards]]. It has been compared to the card game ''[[Apples to Apples]]'' (1999).<ref name=TDB>{{cite news |url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/the-case-against-cards-against-humanity-is-max-temkin-a-horrible-person |title=The Case Against Cards Against Humanity: Is Max Temkin a Horrible Person? |work=[[The Daily Beast]] |last=Chu |first=Arthur |date=July 29, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171125042905/https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-case-against-cards-against-humanity-is-max-temkin-a-horrible-person |archive-date=November 25, 2017 }}</ref>

The game originated with a [[Kickstarter]] campaign in 2011. The game's title refers to the phrase "[[crimes against humanity]]", reflecting its politically incorrect content.<ref>{{cite web |last=Anderson |first=J.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Cards Against Humanity (15711676205).jpg|thumb|A black "question" card and a white "answer" card.]]
{{refimprove section|date=November 2022}}
To start the game, each player draws ten white cards.

According to the rule book provided with the game, the person who most recently [[defecated]] (a primitive form of [[randomization]]) begins as the "Card Czar" (or "Card Tsar") and plays a black card, face up. The Card Czar then reads the question or fill-in-the-blanks phrase on the black card out loud.

The other players answer the question or fill in the blanks by each passing one white card (or however many required by the black card), face down, to the Card Czar.

The Card Czar shuffles all of the answers and shares each card combination with the group. For full effect, the Card Czar should usually re-read the black card before presenting each answer. The Card Czar then picks the funniest play, and whoever submitted it gets one "Awesome Point".

After the round, a new player becomes the Card Czar, and everyone draws back up to ten white cards.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://s3.amazonaws.com/cah/CAH_Rules.pdf|title=Cards Against Humanity Rules|access-date=February 7, 2015|publisher=AdMagic Inc.|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150213192250/http://s3.amazonaws.com/cah/CAH_Rules.pdf|archive-date=February 13, 2015|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

The [[part of speech]] of a white card is a [[noun]] or [[gerund]], including both single words and phrase constructions. Black cards are either fill-in-the-blank statements or questions. Both white and black cards break these rules on rare occasions.

The rules do not state how to win the game—the objective being simply to have fun. However, a popular way to win for most players is whoever has the most black cards or points at the end of the game (black cards are obtained on who is funnier). Another way to end off the session of Cards Against Humanity is to end off with the Haiku card since it can help get rid of all of your "bad" white cards.

The rules in ''Cards Against Humanity'' are flexible and can be altered with the many [[house rule]]s (which are listed in the rules) that players can incorporate (e.g. winning cards are chosen democratically, ability to trade points for cards, points given by ranks, etc.). The official rules include additional provisions for gambling previously won "Awesome Points" for the right to play additional white cards during a round.

==Release and sales==

After six months of development, ''Cards Against Humanity'' was officially released in May 2011. A month later, it became the number one game on [[Amazon (company)|Amazon]].<ref name="AmazonStatistics">{{cite web|title=Amazon Best Sellers, Toys and Games| website=Amazon |url=https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/toys-and-games/ref=sr_bs_1|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160202063045/http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/toys-and-games/ref=sr_bs_1|archive-date=February 2, 2016|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Since its release, it has gradually become more popular and has seen a rise of sales throughout the years. The ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' estimated that ''CAH'' earned at least $12 million in profit, and according to the company, customers have downloaded the PDF file 1.5 million times in the year since they began tracking the numbers.<ref>{{cite web | date = May 16, 2014 | author = Megan Graham | url = http://voices.suntimes.com/business-2/grid/cards-against-humanity-game-money/ | title = Eight nerds get rich off a game where Oprah sobs into a Lean Cuisine | work = [[Chicago Sun-Times]] | access-date = December 21, 2014 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141220073939/http://voices.suntimes.com/business-2/grid/cards-against-humanity-game-money/ | archive-date = December 20, 2014 }}</ref>

In October 2011, the game was exhibited as part of the "Big Games" area of the annual [[IndieCade]] games festival in Culver City, where the release of a first expansion was announced.<ref name="IndieCade Big Games 2011">{{cite web|title=IndieCade Big Games 2011|url=http://www.indiecade.com/index.php/2011/big_games/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111016204755/http://www.indiecade.com/index.php/2011/big_games/|archive-date=October 16, 2011|df=mdy-all|access-date=October 11, 2011}}</ref> In November 2011, the expansion was released.

=== Black Friday promotions ===
Since 2013, the creators of ''Cards Against Humanity'' have held satirical promotions on [[Black Friday (shopping)|Black Friday]].  In 2013, an "anti-sale" was held in which the game's cost was raised by $5.  Despite its higher price, the game maintained its best-selling status on Amazon and experienced a minor spike in sales during that period.<ref>{{cite web|last=Carlson|first=Nicholas|title=Look What Happened When This Games Company Offered An Absurd '$5 More' Black Friday Deal|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/this-is-brilliant-marketing-cards-against-humanity-offers-5-more-black-friday-deal-and-sales-spike-2013-12|work=Business Insider|access-date=April 2, 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407071952/http://www.businessinsider.com/this-is-brilliant-marketing-cards-against-humanity-offers-5-more-black-friday-deal-and-sales-spike-2013-12|archive-date=April 7, 2014|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

In 2014, to "help you experience the ultimate savings on ''Cards Against Humanity''", the game and its expansions were removed from the online store and replaced by "Bullshit" boxes containing sterilized bull [[feces]], sold at $6 each.<ref name="ars-blackfridaybs">{{cite web|title=Cards Against Humanity calls bull**** on Black Friday, sells cow feces|url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/11/cards-against-humanity-calls-bull-on-black-friday-sells-cow-feces/|website=Ars Technica|date=November 28, 2014|access-date=November 30, 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129194618/http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/11/cards-against-humanity-calls-bull-on-black-friday-sells-cow-feces/|archive-date=November 29, 2014|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Over 30,000 boxes were sold.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/cards-humanity-game-sells-30-000-boxes-real-poop-article-1.2047198 |title= Cards Against Humanity sells 30,000 boxes of actual bull poop on Black Friday |date= December 16, 2014 |access-date= December 16, 2014 |first= Joel |last= Landau |work= New York Daily News |url-status= live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20141216200233/http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/cards-humanity-game-sells-30-000-boxes-real-poop-article-1.2047198 |archive-date= December 16, 2014 |df= mdy-all }}</ref>

{{stack|[[File:Cards Against Humanity 2016 Holiday Hole.jpg|thumb|The 2016 Holiday Hole being dug.]]}}
In 2015, the game's online store was replaced by an order form with an offer to "Give ''Cards Against Humanity'' $5" and receive nothing in return.  The offer was justified by claiming that "the greatest Black Friday gift of all is buying nothing.  We're offering that for the rock-bottom price of $5. How can you afford NOT to seize this incredible opportunity?", and that what the money would be used for would be announced "soon".<ref name="tc-sellingnothing">{{cite web|title=Cards Against Humanity Has Made Over $54K Selling Nothing On Black Friday|url=https://techcrunch.com/2015/11/27/cards-against-humanity-has-made-over-54k-selling-nothing-on-black-friday/|website=TechCrunch|date=November 27, 2015 |access-date=November 26, 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161127024322/https://techcrunch.com/2015/11/27/cards-against-humanity-has-made-over-54k-selling-nothing-on-black-friday/|archive-date=November 27, 2016|df=mdy-all}}</ref>  11,248 customers spent $71,145 on the offer during the campaign.  The money was divided equally among the ''Cards Against Humanity'' team members, who were asked to report back what they spent their money on.

For 2016, the creators began to live stream the excavation of a "Holiday Hole", located in [[Oregon, Illinois|Oregon]], Illinois, and stated that they would continue to dig the hole as long as they continue to receive donations.  The creators did not state any reason for the hole nor any planned use of the money, and explicitly ruled out charity in a FAQ by asking the reader, "why aren't YOU giving all this money to charity? It's your money."  $100,573 was collected.<ref name="polygon-holidayhole">{{cite web|title=Cards Against Humanity is making thousands of dollars digging a 'Holiday Hole' in the ground (update)|url=http://www.polygon.com/2016/11/25/13748292/cards-against-humanity-holiday-hole|website=Polygon|date=November 25, 2016|access-date=November 26, 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161126090905/http://www.polygon.com/2016/11/25/13748292/cards-against-humanity-holiday-hole|archive-date=November 26, 2016|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref name="guardian-holidayhole">{{cite web|title=Cards Against Humanity raises $100,000 to dig 'tremendous hole'|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/nov/28/cards-against-humanity-hole|website=The Guardian|date=November 28, 2016|access-date=November 29, 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161129085435/https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/nov/28/cards-against-humanity-hole|archive-date=November 29, 2016|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Later in the week, the hole was filled back in and reseeded.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cards Against Humanity has filled in its giant hole to nowhere|url=https://www.cnet.com/news/cards-against-humanity-has-filled-in-its-giant-hole-to-nowhere/|website=CNET|access-date=December 9, 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161206183815/https://www.cnet.com/news/cards-against-humanity-has-filled-in-its-giant-hole-to-nowhere/|archive-date=December 6, 2016|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

Prior to Black Friday in 2017, a brand of [[potato chip]]s known as "Original Prongles" (a parody of [[Pringles]]) were spotted in multiple Target stores, with packaging featuring a pig mascot and the slogan "Once You Pop... That's Great!".  On Black Friday, the ''Cards Against Humanity'' website was redirected to OriginalProngles.com, which announced that the creators of ''Cards Against Humanity'' had exited the gaming industry in favor of [[snack food]], with a commitment to "bold flavors and bold thinking".  In a [[Fox News|FoxNews.com]] interview, Max Temkin and Josh Dillon (who referred to themselves as Prongles' "chief flavor officers") stated that Prongles and its pig mascot were inspired by US president [[Donald Trump]], adding that "if you love President Donald J. Trump, we guarantee you will love the tangy onion and thick cream flavors of Original Prongles.

In 2018, the creators held a "99 Percent Off Sale", selling random items (such as a used 2015 [[Ford Fiesta]], medieval weapons, and even cash) for 99% off, with a new item every 10 minutes. The creators stated that the promotion was "100% real and possibly a very bad idea."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnet.com/news/cards-against-humanity-is-selling-diamonds-tvs-actual-money-and-more-for-99-off/|title=Cards Against Humanity sells diamonds, TVs, actual money and more for 99% off|last=Buckley|first=Sean|website=CNET|language=en|access-date=December 19, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/cards-against-humanity-launches-ridiculous-99-percent-off-black-friday-sale-2018-11|title='This is 100% real and possibly a very bad idea': Cards Against Humanity is selling used cars, medieval weapons, TVs, and even $100 bills for 99% off|work=Business Insider|access-date=November 27, 2018}}</ref>

In 2019, the creators held a "Black Friday A.I. Challenge", pitting the company's writers against a machine learning algorithm, producing two themed card packs: the Human Pack and the A.I. Pack. If the Human Pack sold more, the writers would get a $5,000 bonus and if the A.I. won, the writers would be fired. The Human Pack ultimately sold over $1,000 more than the A.I.

For 2020, in lieu of doing a prank, ''Cards Against Humanity'' donated the $250,000 set aside for a Black Friday promotion to five charities: the [[Equal Justice Initiative]], the New Georgia Project, [[National Low Income Housing Coalition]], [[Brave Space Alliance]], and the Laughing At My Nightmare COVID-19 Relief Fund.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Passy |first=Jacob |title=Cards Against Humanity skipped its annual Black Friday critique of capitalism and found something new |url=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/cards-against-humanity-skipped-its-annual-black-friday-stunt-to-criticize-capitalism-and-tried-a-different-approach-instead-11606505723 |access-date=March 14, 2022 |website=MarketWatch |language=EN-US}}</ref>

In 2021, the creators held a "''Cards Against Humanity'' Pays You $5 Sale", in which the creators would pay $5 and up to site visitors for doing various tasks, ranging from asking [[Hellmann's and Best Foods|Hellmann's]] to bring back "Clam-O-Naise", to donating teeth, to helping the creators figure out what program they saw [[Patrick Fischler]] in (''[[Nash Bridges]]''). Some tasks, like getting the [[COVID-19 vaccine]] that day, would reward $100, while other tasks, like guessing how many jelly beans have been put inside a 1993 [[Cadillac Allanté]], would reward $10,000 to one person.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cards Against Humanity Pays You $5 Sale |url=https://getfivedollars.com/ |access-date=March 14, 2022 |website=Cards Against Humanity Pays You $5 Sale |language=en}}</ref>

In 2022, ''Cards Against Humanity'' launched a new storage box, known as "Bōks", by kicking off a 200% off sale at 3:00 P.M. EST on Black Friday. To receive a discount code, a user would have to solve multiple increasingly complex [[CAPTCHA|CAPTCHAs]], including identifying tanks (military tanks, fish tanks, ''[[Shark Tank]]'', tank tops, etc.), identifying assholes (including actual animal [[anus|anuses]] and figures like [[Elon Musk]]), and answering [[2020 United States presidential election#False claims of fraud|who rightfully won the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election]]. With each individual code given out, the discount would decrease by .01%.

The base set of ''Cards Against Humanity'' came initially with 550 cards, though this has increased to 600 as of version 2.0's release in 2017.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Scelzo |first=Samantha |date=August 31, 2017 |title=Cards Against Humanity is back with a whole new deck to destroy your next party |url=https://mashable.com/article/new-cards-against-humanity-pack |access-date=November 26, 2022 |website=Mashable |language=en}}</ref> Six 100-card expansions were made over the years, before being repackaged into two 300-card expansions, known as the "Red Box" and "Blue Box", in 2016.

A storage box, known as "The Bigger, Blacker Box", was released in 2013.

On July 28, 2015, ''Cards Against Humanity'' announced a design-themed expansion pack, featuring 30 cards that were created by famous designers riffing on comedian [[George Carlin]]'s "[[seven dirty words]]". All proceeds were donated to the [[Chicago Design Museum]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Cards Against Humanity offers Carlin's 7 bad words for good cause|url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/bluesky/originals/ct-cards-against-humanity-george-carlin-bsi-20150731-story.html|website=ChicagoTribune.com|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160202063044/http://www.chicagotribune.com/bluesky/originals/ct-cards-against-humanity-george-carlin-bsi-20150731-story.html|archive-date=February 2, 2016|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

In July 2017, a special edition of the base game, ''Cards Against Humanity For Her'', was unveiled, in support of [[EMILY's List]]—a PAC that aims to help elect female [[United States pro-choice movement|pro-choice]] [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] candidates to office. As a satire of the "[[pink tax]]", it is exactly the same as the normal base set, except it has a pink-colored box and is US$5 more expensive.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sarkar |first=Samit |date=July 11, 2017 |title=Cards Against Humanity takes on the pink tax with 'for Her' box |url=https://www.polygon.com/2017/7/11/15955988/cards-against-humanity-for-her |access-date=July 12, 2017 |website=Polygon}}</ref>

In 2020, ''Cards Against Humanity'' announced a new version of the game for families: ''Cards Against Humanity: Family Edition''.

===Political involvement and the Nuisance Committee===
In August 2016, Cards Against Humanity released two "America Votes" packs for the two presidential candidates: ''Vote for [[Hillary Clinton|Hillary]] Pack'' and ''Vote for [[Donald Trump|Trump]] Pack''.

In mid-November 2017, the creators announced a campaign, ''Cards Against Humanity Saves America'', in protest of the [[Presidency of Donald Trump|Trump administration]] and Donald Trump's proposed [[U.S.-Mexico border wall]], arguing: "[Trump is] a preposterous [[golem]] who is afraid of anything. He is so afraid that he wants to build a $20 billion wall that everyone knows will accomplish nothing." It was revealed that the creators had purchased vacant land along the wall and "retained a law firm specializing in [[eminent domain]] to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for the wall to get built". It was also announced that those who made a $15 donation for the campaign would receive six "surprises" throughout December, including additional cards and a map of the aforementioned land plot.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://mashable.com/2017/11/14/cards-against-humanity-saves-america-border-wall|title=Cards Against Humanity buys piece of the U.S. border so Trump can't build his wall|last=Koerber|first=Brian|work=Mashable|access-date=November 14, 2017|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171114223010/http://mashable.com/2017/11/14/cards-against-humanity-saves-america-border-wall/|archive-date=November 14, 2017|df=mdy-all}}</ref> One of the surprises was the redistribution of the money paid, including 10,000 refunds, and issuing $1,000 checks to 100 donors they determined to be the most in need.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/cards-against-humanity-redistributes-money-with-latest-promotion-463103443.html|title=Game Company 'Redistributes Wealth' in Latest Promotion|work=NBC Chicago|access-date=December 10, 2017|language=en}}</ref>

In September 2024, Cards Against Humanity announced a lawsuit against [[SpaceX]], alleging that the company had left equipment and materials on the plot of land Cards Against Humanity purchased in 2017 along the U.S.-Mexico border.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Brodkin |first=Jon |date=2024-09-20 |title=Cards Against Humanity sues SpaceX, alleges “invasion” of land on US/Mexico border |url=https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/09/cards-against-humanity-sues-spacex-alleges-invasion-of-land-on-us-mexico-border/ |access-date=2024-09-20 |website=Ars Technica |language=en-us}}</ref> Cards Against Humanity alleges that SpaceX never asked for permission to use the site, and is seeking $15 million in damages for the alleged unlawful use of the land.

Reviews note the similarity between ''Cards Against Humanity'' and the 1999 family card game ''[[Apples to Apples]]''. ''The A.V. Club'' interview calls the game "a sort of ''Apples to Apples'' for the crass and jaded."<ref name="OnionAVClub" /> Criticism of the game stems from its enjoyment primarily depending on the number of players participating as well as many reviewers' concern that its politically incorrect content may offend certain audiences.<ref>[http://www.gamesandtea.com/2013/10/cards-against-humanity-party-game-for.html "Cards Against Humanity: A Party Game For Horrible People (UK Edition) Review"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407094839/http://www.gamesandtea.com/2013/10/cards-against-humanity-party-game-for.html |date=April 7, 2014 }}.

In a letter of complaint to ''[[The New York Times Magazine]]'', writer Dan Brooks argued:
{{quote|Like America's most successful brands, ''Cards Against Humanity'' positions itself against the masses, when in fact it is mass taste distilled. It is the product of a culture in which transgressing social norms has become an agreed-on social norm&nbsp;... ''Cards Against Humanity'' isn't really transgressive at all. It is a game of naughty giggling for people who think the phrase "black people" is inherently funny&nbsp;... The awful thing is that it works. The reliability of ''Cards Against Humanity'' as an activity most people will enjoy only makes it more depressing to those of us immune to its charms. It is, in the end, a party game for horrible people.

==Criticism==
In 2014, a 19-year-old transgender man from Boston posted a photo of a burning game card, featuring the text "Passable [[Transvestism|transvestites]]."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Roy |first1=Jessica |title='Cards Against Humanity' Co-Creator: Sorry for Transphobic Card |url=https://splinternews.com/cards-against-humanity-co-creator-sorry-for-transphobi-1793841994 |website=Splinter News |date=June 19, 2014 |access-date=October 29, 2019}}</ref> After the post quickly spread, game creator Max Temkin apologized: "I regret writing this card, it was a mean cheap joke.

A 2016 analysis of the game showed a strong racial bias in the cards. One-fifth of the original card deck included answers involving race. Of those cards, only 11 percent of white cards were racially charged compared to 60 percent of black cards, 60 percent of Hispanic cards, 80 percent of Asian cards, and 100 percent of Native American cards. Cards were coded as "racially charged" if they spoke to a historical or contemporary oppressive event or stereotype; some examples of actual cards from the deck included: "The [[Trail of Tears]];" "The [[Stereotypes of Hispanic and Latino Americans in the United States#Hard labor worker or uneducated/lazy|hard working Mexican]];" and "Helplessly giggling at the mention of [[Rwandan genocide|Hutus and Tutsis]]."<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Strmic-Pawl|first1=Hephzibah V.|last2=Wilson|first2=Rai-ya|date=July 24, 2016|title=Equal Opportunity Racism?

In 2020, designer and co-founder Max Temkin left the company after accusations surfaced on social media accusing him of creating a sexist and racist work culture at Cards Against Humanity. Other co-founders confirmed that this behavior had been present, and complained about for several years, and resulted in the reduction of Temkin's managerial duties over time. In an apology, the company stated: {{quote|As Cards Against Humanity rapidly grew from a hobby project in our parents' basements to a company with 18 full-time employees, we made a lot of mistakes.
