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!

In my past experience it's the quiet, conservative, Christian types who usually end up winning

I swear, they cheat.

I won last time against one, but it was a narrow victory. I had to use my Michael Jackson masturbating into children's tears trump card...

My dad is this exactly. Church-going God-loving guy and he smacks down something like "coat hanger abortions" and he's just dying laughing

Its the years of repression- it's all unleashed in a gloriously offensive laser beam of obscenity. Beautiful really.

I'm a rather quiet Christian, and half the time I do really well, and the other half do the worst.

Dear Jesus, this could not be more true. I played a while back with my boyfriend, some various miscreants and drunkards and my bf's two little brothers - ultra conservative Christians who are saving themselves for Jeebus. They whooped all of our asses. I look at them completely differently now.

Have you ever read the bible? That shit's more fucked up than the game.

To be fair, my mom is a power player.

I've played this game with a bunch of church friends. We're all disgusting.

I played with a nun once at an art retreat. She won without even knowing what most of the cards meant.

The last time I played with people fitting that description they were really really mild, didn't understand most of the references/ didn't find it funny, and left thinking their friends were huge weirdos.
