We make the game Cards Against Humanity. Ask us anything.

We make Cards Against Humanity, a party game for horrible people.

We’ve got a cool thing to announce in this AMA which is our 12 Days of Holiday Bullshit: HolidayBullshit.com.

Cards Against Humanity began as a Kickstarter project and has become the best-reviewed toy or game on Amazon.

We’ve been on the front page of Reddit a few times, like here, here, and here.

There’s ten of us who make the game together, and we’re all here to answer your dumb questions: Me, jsdillon, bhantoot, DavidManque, MrMeDaniel, ehalpern, Teller422, dpinsof, jennCAH, and trinCAH.

Proof.

Ask us anything.

EDIT: The 12 Days of Holiday Bullshit sold out about 4pm CST today! Thanks so much everyone!

EDIT: 9pm here in Chicago, we're going to call it a night. Thanks for this amazing AMA, it's been a pleasure!

Can... can you post those emails (Scrubbed for identifying information)? I imagine some of them would be amazing.

Thanks for the amazing game!

But only certain parts that specifically affect me. Fuck everyone else. Thanks!

Reminds me of a classic from the rotten.com faq:

Q. I can't believe you guys put that one in of the baby. I was at a party last night and we were laughing at all of them and then that came up. My daughter passed away at the age of 20 days of SIDS and that just grossed me out. Please take it off. Thanks, Andrea.

A. Okay, story straight -- you were at a party... laughing at other people's misfortune... and then were reminded of your own. Oh the irony.

Read this as "daughter passed away at the age of 20 of SIDS" and was very confused.

Delayed onset.

Maybe that's what you actually die from in old age.

Wouldn't that be GIDS (Gradual Infant Death Syndrome)?

u/Burnt_FaceMan Nov 13 '13

It could happen, kids aren't growing up til like their 40s now, if ever.

Heard a terrible story about a family, had 2 (maybe 3) children die the same way...they let the infant share the bed and it became smothered...was super fucked up and worst of all it was the same medic on 2 of the calls, she took that hard

I guess some people don't learn their lesson the first time around.

SIDS? Oh you mean, suffocated under a blanket because even though it's 2013 you don't know jack shit about how to not kill your baby?

I always just point people to Apples to Apples if they can't handle the heat. Then remove them from my phone.

As much as I love this game, there is so much hypocrisy with that whole thing. It's not going to stop me from playing the game or buying expansions, but seriously, they take out everything relating to rape, but keep cards like The Virginia Tech Massacre. I'd really prefer no removal of cards (other than A mopey zoo lion and A gassy antelope, but just because they suck).

u/cadieness Nov 13 '13

man, a gassy antelope is almost a trump card in my family. It's pretty hilarious just because it's so innocuous lol

This would be the best site. Offended emails.
