And flavor.

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 191 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They did a limited run of the game where the cards explain the joke so it was considered educational material, thus circumventing the tarrifs. Its pretty good, props on them for doing it.

[–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 99 points 1 month ago

It is WELL worth it, even for people not normally a fan of it.

There are cool backstories like “we ran out of ideas, but this made us pee ourselves laughing so we went that direction since it showed it would work” and for the pope card a description of who the pope is, ending with (paraphrased)“the current pope is some guy named Bob from Chicago”

The game has gotten kind of old to me, but I wanna support them any way I can. Any other things they make that I could buy?

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 99 points 1 month ago

If you want to support them any way you can just simply buy their shit regardless. You can gift it to people.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 75 points 1 month ago (2 children)

same, but played the family version for my kids and it was so much fun.

the youngest one needs to practice reading, and that game was a few hours of her reading and laughing as hard as she could

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

This brings a smile to my face

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, hell yeah. Thank you for this idea. I've been wanting a fun way to teach my son to read. Thank you.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

you have no idea how twisted/dark can kid's humour get

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

No no, I do. I have a very imaginative 5 yr old. He saw me play Helldivers once and wouldn't stop saying "sweet liberty my leg!" The looks I go in public.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

They have many fine products on their all products page.

The "Don't talk to me until I've had my Clam-o-naise" mug is tempting me.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Oh a clam and mayo sandwich would fucking slap

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I'm all about clam slappin

Buy the SFW version and gift it to a school or library.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

There are now tons of different expansions for CAH, like specific topic types and whatnot like sci-fi, nature, food, medicine.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I clicked over to their site on the worldwide web and they have a game called Contact. Seems like it's for nerds, so it'd be right up Lemmy's collective alley.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Please don't reference our "collective alley" without the whole group's consent.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Group's hole consent, got it.

We can make this the norm by boycotting greedy corporations

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, stop being nice. TAKE it from them. If they won't pivot from a Trickle Down Economy to a Trickle Up Economy, then we should forcibly impose a Robin Hood Economy.

Small, independent, Mom & Pop businesses are hands off, but for all those big corps? Rob'em blind.

I may have gotten tired of the game but I never get tired of this company

[–] Ranulph@thelemmy.club 61 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You can keep the money. I want my country back. I want the Epstein Trials, the rule of law and consequences for all administration officials, law enforcement and ICE agents.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago

Keep demanding it, we'll get there.

[–] Infrapink@thebrainbin.org 47 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, I thought this was Cards Against Humanity.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The cards might be against humanity, but that doesn't necessarily mean the company is.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

The company against the cards against humanity. Got it!

[–] pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip 45 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't know anything about this game or company but this is the most based announcement I've ever seen

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 month ago

They are incredibly based. Game is pretty fun too.

Thank you for linking cause the FAQ is even better than the post.

[–] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 40 points 1 month ago (11 children)

This is such a reddit comment. If you don't enjoy it don't play it, but acting smugly superior to those that do just makes you look like an ass.

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I thought it was funny, geeez

First of all, ow.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, I can't stand the game, this bailed it, but I've always appreciated their stances, because I agree with them of course. But like you, when someone says hey let's play cards against humanity, I say let's not. I can make jokes about people's races and cancer without the cards, don't need everyone cramping my style.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago (2 children)

when the Trump Administration gives us our tariff refund

Who is expecting this to actually ever happen?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 1 month ago

EVERYBODY! They WILL give the money back, and we're going to FORCE them. The only reason they get away with this shit is because we allow it. We have the power, we have to exercise it.

brb going to buy more CAH cards

[–] Eryn6844@piefed.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 month ago

the corporations we need.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well son of a bitch. A cooperation doing something morally correct.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Not a corporation. They're not "incorporated" and are not publically traded (afaik).

They're a private company who are still able to do these kinds of things because they're not beholden to stockholders.

To me, companies like them aren't the problem. Corporations with stockholders are the problem.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That is what happens when companies are run by people who actually care about what they do and are not in it just for the money. The exact opposite of this happens when companies are run by ghoulish billionaire shareholders.
