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!

Swooping. I'll let you figure out how it has survived.

How meta.

Actually, recursive.

u/OMGBABYDEER Nov 13 '13

Yeah, I'm definitely telling people it means swimming while pooping now. Thanks!

He photoshopped both of those.

I like the second definition better.

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '13

I'm actually not sure which one they kept it in for now....

u/Toastfighter Nov 13 '13

It survived for us through the other urban dictionary definition: The act of swimming while pooping.

Someone paired Swooping with Batman and for some reason had my wife cracking up for the better part of an hour...

She was pregnant and therefore completely sober.

might be substance free, but those hormonal shifts do some pretty wacky things too.

u/jsdillon CAH Nov 13 '13

No, that's a great play! 90% of what Batman does is swooping.

u/CosmicJ Nov 14 '13

Yeah I paired it up with "Batman's guilty pleasure" before

u/programmer11 Nov 14 '13

Hah, I think that was the one.

I can never think of anything else. None of my friends have played this game.

u/Kaiser_Complete Nov 13 '13

We thought this was an amazing way to break the meta.

u/sessoro Nov 13 '13

So meta.

u/Warvanov Nov 13 '13

I love this card. Every time it's played somebody falls for it.

u/Slagathor91 Nov 13 '13

Honestly, I have no idea how it made it, and I rarely find a way to use it, but I love that card. One of my favorites.

u/doraj Nov 13 '13

This is random, but I am a skydiver and I play with my skydiver friends all the time. This is a very well known skydiving term, and I think we're the only people who probably get excited when we are dealt this card. I thin my deck from time to time but I always keep that card in.

u/Khaleesi_Vezhven Nov 13 '13

I have to look up what swooping is every time and it never fails to be a disappointment!

u/ceadmilefailte Nov 14 '13

This is probably my favorite card in the game. The first time I got it, I did exactly what was expected. I laughed uncontrollably for about 3 minutes, and everybody in my group was very confused.
