Dinner party card game that mocks Maddie, Jade Goody and Hillsborough

[InOne]

Plus more...

Billed as ‘a party game for horrible people’, it is the latest craze being played at dinner parties across the land.
Cards Against Humanity is a game in which players are encouraged to be as ‘despicable’ and offensive as they possibly can.
Critics have slammed the US creators who admit their aim was to tarnish Britain’s most sacred institutions.
The card game mocks the Royal Family, politicians and the Hillsborough disaster in which 96 Liverpool football fans died. It also insults dead reality TV star Jade Goody and missing youngster Madeleine McCann.
The McCanns’ spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, said: ‘The offensiveness of this speaks for itself. For the makers of the game to make light of a missing child is beyond offensive. They should reconsider what they’re doing and all Madeleine references should be cut out of future editions. It is deeply offensive.’
In the game, one player asks a question from a black card and everyone else answers with their ‘funniest’ white card. It is the nature of the questions and answers on the cards, that make the game so controversial.
Each black card is either a question, or a phrase where the key words have been left as blank. At first they might seem innocuous, such as: ‘What’s that smell?’ However, another card reads: ‘In Michael Jackson’s final moments he thought about...’
The players then respond from the selection of answers from white cards they have in their hand. These include ‘Madeleine McCann’, ‘Jade Goody’s cancerous remains’ and ‘Hillsborough’.

[Ramsay]

I ****ing love it

[jackc1806]

A bit silly but not really that outrageous

[Samm]

who ever made it is a low life who has nothing else to do

Cards against Humanity is hilarious and harmless. It's just the Daily Mail trying to stir up **** because they're too incompetent to report on an actual story.

[Samuel.]

Ha, Cards Against Humanity is amazing

It says right on the box, a party game for horrible people

This! there's very little cards with these in and once you start playing it you end up crying from laughing, love it!

Yeah I was thinking that LOL. I think it's more aimed at pissed up students. Can't imagine anyone who would play it sober.

[Black Dagger]

I love Cards Against Humanity.

Already played it before. And Apples to Apples. And Nutsy Bolts. All variations on the exact same theme. I even had my own home made version when I lived in Germany which I played with friends.

[Benjamin]

I quite like the game :laugh:

‘The British have a different humour from Americans. We sent a survey out on the internet with a list of the US cards and asked people to cross out the ones they didn’t understand. Then I had meetings in pubs to discuss the cards we should include in the British version.
‘Hillsborough seemed fair game because it was historic. When we were testing that card we never hit a raw nerve or got any complaints.’

Yeah, mentioning the "Queen's arse" and having your meeting in a pub doesn't make the game funnier to Brits. :umm2:

Did they do survey's in fish and chip shops too? Did they get Irish feedback by visiting Irish bars?

Americans and their stereotypes makes me cringe more than their attempt at an offensive game.

If you played it, I'd guarantee you'd love it. People raise an eyebrow once you explain it to them, but when they get into the game, they're having fun as much as the other players who are crying from laughing. We got my MUM to play it and she liked it.

The face palm is for?

I've not misunderstood anything, my post was about the card maker's attempts at adding "British-isms" to their game.

And they've successfully done it, just because they mentioned a pub doesn't mean "OOH LOOOK THEYRE STEREOTYPING" The British version is a tweaked version because there was cards that people didn't understand, like some American celebrities and politicians that we might not of heard of, and there was some that we didn't understand when I played it with my older sister and her friend.

Yes, you can calm down from patronising me, I understood all of that.

I'm laughing at the fact they think including "The Queen's arse" is going to somehow make it funnier to Brits.... because we have a Queen. How hilarious.

I laugh at controversial jokes as much as the next person but this is quite a poor attempt at a game that's been around a heck of a long time anyway.

This is why i hate dinner parties

[Kizzy]

Remember the twin towers girls who dressed as the twin towers at a 'bad taste' fancy dress? To me this is along the same lines, if it makes me sound old or out of touch to not see any humour in abduction, tragedy and terrorism then I'm happy to be.
