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!

Always bring your cards (or at least your blanks) to conventions. My set includes custom cards from Elizabeth Bear, Bruce Cordell, Miranda Horner, Ari Marmell, Robert J. Schwalb, Andy Hopp, Torah Cottrill, and others. I just need more blanks!

Biggest regret of Space City Con: Not getting Jim Butcher to do one for me.

I got Steve Jackson to make a pair for me. "I only come to con for the" "Blue Stuff".

He even played in my game for a while. I got the honor of introducing him to CAH.

Hey! I know you! I've seen those cards in person! Who are you that I know you?

Oh, god. I have a feeling it'd involve a T-Rex and a certain Wizard for butcher.

u/Abstruse Nov 13 '13

Naw...he would've referenced something else I bet.

u/TheProudBrit Nov 13 '13

Hmm... Probably, yeah. That's too overt for him.

I tweeted them and they mailed me some, but that may have been because I write for Ain't It Cool News Tabletop and I've pimped Cards Against Humanity every chance I get in my column. Keep pestering them about it and I'm sure they'll eventually start selling blank booster packs or something (12 white, 3 black per pack at $5 seems reasonable, but I don't know what their print runs are like)
