What is it and can anyone give an example of one round?

This sounds totally amazing. Was stuck with what to do at a party next week. Now i'm fixed

I'm a SAVAGE winner at Cards Against Humanity. I played it with my FIL recently, and it was the most glorious battle. MIL was thoroughly unimpressed Grin

DingDongDenny · 14/09/2018 16:18

So this clearly isn't the game for me - I've just looked up bukakke and am going to have to rinse my eyes in bleach

I played it once - it was funny at times, but that sort of trying hard to shock humour that I find a bit up its own arse and some of the cards around disability were hideous. I won't be playing it again

DayManChampionOfTheSun · 14/09/2018 16:19

I think it's funny to a point, it can get a bit boring after a while.

Defrack · 14/09/2018 16:20

@frog. A shot of something for the winner lives it up very quickly Grin

PawneeToday · 14/09/2018 16:20

It's not for me. I am a too sensitive and emotional. I don't like Frankie Boyle type humour, maybe if you like that sort of thing you'd find it funny. It's just not my cup of tea.

DayManChampionOfTheSun · 14/09/2018 16:20

Bears vs babies is much funnier (especially with the not safe for work expansion pack)

HappyHippy45 · 14/09/2018 16:20

bukakke
My then teenage ds was pressed to tell us all what it meant.

It's very offensive but I think that's what makes it so funny in the right crowd

We played this at a family get together. Never again.
We laughed until we were sore. All of us.
I've still not recovered from the fact that my mum played too and said "clitorus." I'm sure she won't have told her minister or church friends that she played. She's a good sport.

Defrack · 14/09/2018 16:21

Some of the jokes are bad, that's why you pick who you're playing against

suckonthatmaureen · 14/09/2018 16:22

I have to say, watching my mother google Bukkake has been the funniest moment of my life to date! 😂

DaphneDiligaf · 14/09/2018 16:23

As we have a close relative with a brain tumour none of us found it very funny once that card appeared.

DarlingNikita · 14/09/2018 16:27

So Dolly, how did the Obama vote turn out? [intrigued]

Bunintheoven88 · 14/09/2018 16:31

I played it lots when I was younger with my friends, but made sure we took the Hillsborough card out.

PawneeToday · 14/09/2018 16:32

Is Madeleine McCann really a card in there?

Defrack · 14/09/2018 16:33

Yes as is Jewish dungeon porn, Hitler, brain tumour, Jimmy Seville and a few other tough topics.

PawneeToday · 14/09/2018 16:36

Fucking hell. Yeah it's most definitely not for me.

Haireverywhere · 14/09/2018 16:38

I hate it because the three times I have been in the company of people hosting wanting to play it, someone always seems to come up such offensive 'blanks' about child abuse or people with disabilities. I'm sure it doesn't have to be that way though!

DingDongDenny · 14/09/2018 16:38

I think it desensitises people to other people's real pain and suffering. It also makes it acceptable to laugh at some things that are sick and in my opinion really not funny. Then you are told you don't have a sense of humour if you don't go along with it

I laugh plenty - just not at stuff like this

Amanduh · 14/09/2018 16:39

It’s hilarious 😂 If there are v sensitive topics you don’t want to joke about take them out or alternatively it's not for you. on’t see how it can be bullying people you’re with though it’s not about each other...?

NewtScamandersNaughtyNiffler · 14/09/2018 16:42

I love CAH.
Things I never usually find funny make me cry with laughter.
I play online with friends in America and various uk locations. I know if one particular friend is the 'card tsar' to play the "Anne Frank's Ashes" card if I can. It always wins!

TheFlame · 14/09/2018 16:42

it's not a game I would play with someone I didn't know really well, and even then if there is a card we think is too far, we just don't play it, dump it at the back of the deck and draw another. I don't even bother saying what it is.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 14/09/2018 16:43

I've played it a few times but have yet to have a decent or particularly funny round so am yet to be convinced.

ATowelAndAPotato · 14/09/2018 16:43

I’ve played this at a very drunken birthday party with various friends and family, including my parents... not sure what was more embarrassing, having to read out some of the cards in front of my mum, or the fact that my mum kept winning...!

AdoraBell · 14/09/2018 16:44

Haven’t played it myself but teen DD and her mates always end up howling with laughter.

I know it could turn nasty depending who plays.

PawneeToday · 14/09/2018 16:44

But imagine your precious 3 year old daughter was missing or dead and her name became part of a game, the aim of which was to say the most offensive things possible, and people found that hilarious. I find it heartbreaking. Ditto Hillsborough, terminal diseases etc etc.

I can't see how that could ever be funny if you have a shred of, well, humanity. I guess that's the name of the game!
