Cards Against Humanity/Crabs Adjust Humidity
I lumped these two together because you can easily mix them together
and it adds even more craziness to an already crazy game. This game is not for
kids unless you are an extremely lenient parent. There are a lot of expansion
packs out there to keep it interesting and no 2 games are ever the same. Also
during the COVID-19 outbreak (going on as I write this) a digital version was
even created so that people could play together while keeping up social
distancing. I tried one of the ways to play (Playingcards.io) but couldn’t get
it to work right.
There is even an online PDF where you can print off your own set for
free: http://s3.amazonaws.com/cah/CAH_MainGame.pdf
(this is from the actual developers).
There is also a free family edition that you can download and print: https://www.cardsagainsthumanityfamilyedition.com/
Game Play:
I have been playing this game for years. I used to take a Star Wars
lunch box tin filled with these cards to conventions to play with people while
I waited in long lines for panels. This is a great game to play with people you
know. There have been a few times when I went through removing some cards that
I knew people might find insulting. This game can be edited in this way as long
as you know the people you will be playing with. I will fully admit that many
of the cards are insultive, racist, genderist, sexist, and just so many things
wrong with them in general. BUT it is just a game. In our PC world no one can
take a joke or even share in the awkwardness that is our history. This is why
it is very important to know the people you are playing with and if they have
any triggers. I have played this game with many different races, political
backgrounds, and gender/sexuality ids and the people I have played with have
been alright with the cards. I’m not saying that everyone will, but to be
truthful it just depends on how uptight they are.
Brailling:
When we went to braille this game, Nancy’s grandkids were around. We
had to keep pausing anytime they would run through the room. I was having to whisper
to make sure that they didn’t hear me. The awkwardness of the process was so
funny and it felt odd to be whispering the words on the card. For these cards
Nancy just put as much of the text as she could directly on the card. For the
most part it fit with several lines. The braille didn’t seem to make the cards
unreadable for sighted people.
Overall this was a very easy game to braille. I give this game 5 stars
out of 5 stars for both the brailling process and actual game play.
