People who would rather play Cards Against Humanity instead of Codenames are people whose opinions can be safely disregarded on most matters of import.

Codenames is so good, especially those last ditch effort desperate nonsense hints that inevitably work and get like 5 correct to win the game.

you havent experienced true cringe until you’ve played 1) (badly) translated cards against humanity or 2) original american cards against humanity with a group whose english isnt quite good enough and who dont know enough about american politics/history to get most of the references.

the pain. the pain.

Or, with your 60 year old graduate studies supervisor and their date.

It’s, an experience.

Monopoly was invented to be a slog of a game because it was meant to show the heinousness of landlordism

Acquire is a much better board game that came out around the same time, but unfortunately was not as popular.

They should be playing Scythe, War Of The Rung, and Twilight Struggle.

People don’t need to play heavy strategy games, but CAH is a relic of early 2000s edgy humor, and there are better and funnier light silly party games by now. Play Telestrations or Wavelength or Happy Salmon instead. Even if you want to impress your friends with crude jokes, Say Anything is a better vessel for it.

I don’t. But CAH has ruined a generation of “adult humor” games

Every other round of Cards Against Humanity is everyone saying “yeah I don’t have a good card for this” and putting down some reference to a random American politician from the early 2000s

My uncle once put Helen Keller for “touchy feely” in apples to apples and I’ve never seen that high re-created since.

Apples to Apples was always the better game, both overall and in terms of dark comedy potential

Cards against humanity was a great idea, but honestly it lost its shock value literally after playing it the first time. It’s not really fun after the first play and gets boring super quick.

My favorite CAH card is “Ace Ventura, a movie that definitely holds up I promise”

Create post

Tabletop Rpg posts, content, and recruitment posts.

Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.

An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.

Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.
