Cards Against Humanity Win

[tarotgal]

One of my favorite memories from Mario Marathon this year was playing Cards Against Humanity with some of the fellow viewers. I won the first game I played and was 7 points above everyone else in the second game before many others eclipsed me and I lost. It was so much fun (the game definitely depends on who you’re playing with, and they were a damn fun bunch).

For those who don’t know, CAH is a game where you have a subject/statement (black card) and you pick the best fill for that using one of the (white) cards in your hand. If played correctly, the game is raunchy and naughty and hilariously wrong and as politically incorrect as possible. People say it’s an adult version of Apples to Apples but I’ve never played Apples to Apples so I have no idea.

Anyway, there were some great moments, like when I was card czar and suggested my anti-drug be a certain Harry Potter fanfiction card and someone wrote it in as one of the blanks. Win! Another time, I was forced to choose between Star Wars and Star Trek… I ended up choosing a different card altogether. Also, there was LOTS of elf ***.

But this was my favorite moment, even though it made me tear up a little… and I’m going to put it behind a cut because CAH can get explicit, though I don’t see anything too “wrong” with this one. The question was: What’s there a ton of in heaven?

It’s like I was keeping that card especially for this. I love when that happens. Perfection. And some sadness. Awww, Firefly. Of course it won!

I love love love this game. I wish I had more than I good friend in the town I live so I can play more often. I own all the sets and the bigger blacker box. I've never played any fan created expansions or used a write in though.

Its interesting to see how others play. And no one I've ever played with has actually used the term "card czar" no matter the official rules. We also only draw 7 cards at a time usually. Don't know why we decided that, but it's the only way I've ever played. We also don't use any rules or variations regarding points, or play to a certain number, just whoever has the most black cards when we decide we've had enough wins.

Awesome! It can be such a fun game :-)

I don't know if we could get enough players, but I've been thinking it would be fun to play online with a bunch of my SF friends--like a regular weekly game and people could drop in if they're free (and we could get super creative with the write-ins, imagine!). I don't know how to go about organizing such a thing, but I'd love for it to happen.

The Doctor Who expansion pack is pretty damn awesome, though I've only played with it the one time. Some of the other online packs are awful because they don't match up the noun/verb usage properly, but others seem to get it right.

I think my best nerdy custom card answer to "How did I loose my virginity?" was "Thirteen dwarves and a hobbit."
I bet heaven has tons of season 2 Firefly... and season 3, and 4, and 5, and pretty much all the Firefly anyone could ever want.
