Anybody else play this game?

When my middle daughter comes over she brings this, along with all the expansion packs (including those which are exclusive) and it's a riot playing.

If you've never played, be prepared to be offended, and laugh about it. (And if a card really crosses your line, just toss it - tailor your deck. )

We played last night with son's girlfriend (who had never played and meeting my wife and I for the first time). She played probably the funniest card of the night made even funnier when the other seven of us found out who played the card anx her reaction to winning that round

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Have you found the secret hidden card yet?

Depends on which card you're referring to. My son in law works for a major gaming platform testing the games. Here also participates in gaming conventions.

When I say they have exclusive add-on packs, those cards are in the deck. (We've been playing together since 2009ish)

Best is to watch a new player's expression as you determine who goes first.

It is a lot of fun unless someone is really uptight. If you like it, check out Joking Hazard. It’s from the guys who do the Cyanide & Happiness comic strip. You can see their work at www.explosm.net

Yes it is a humorous game but I believe the owners(?) or creators, not sure who/which, and I have not personally verified it, but I heard they were anti-Trump and in their heyday doing what they can to rally against him.

Again, not personally verified by me. Just food for thought.

Not sure (though I suspect the same) however, one white card I pulled read : Like Barack and a Wookie" and one my wife pulled, " Trump riding a donkey"

And my daughter is very liberal.

I’m talking about the hidden card in the packaging that you need a razor blade to remove.

My step daughter wanted us to play this game over thanksgiving. I’d never heard of it so she picked a random question card and a few “answer” cards (guess that’s what they’re called).

The question was something like name something your grandmother would find adorable. The answers included everything from a small boys penis to licking the asshole of some celebrity I’d never heard of. No thanks - call me old fashioned or a prude but to me thats not humorous no matter who I’m playing with or how much I’ve had to drink.

But to each their own I guess.

What if it was a celebrity that you heard of and were very familiar with?

We got the game Relative Insanity from friends as a Christmas gift. It a bit like a redneck poking fun at their relatives version of cards against humanity. It was pretty hilarious.

ETA: it is from Jeff Foxworthy.
