No 11
Cards Against Humanity is the fill-in-the-blank game that has been the loud end of every adult party since 2011. One player reads a black card with a blank, everyone else plays the worst white card they have, and the reader picks a winner. It needs no explanation, no setup and no shame, and it ends when someone is crying from laughing.
It is the Christmas gift for a friend group that hosts, the housewarming gift for a brother or sister with a new table, and the birthday present for a coworker who swears at work. It is for adults, which is the point.
The base game is 500 white cards and 100 black cards in a plain black box; the expansions are the gift for someone who already has it. Under thirty dollars for a game that gets played at every gathering for years.
