Horrible People Can Now Play ‘Cards Against Humanity’ Online

You waited all game for the perfect time to play “A Super Soaker filled with cat pee,” only to watch your sister’s jerky boyfriend steal the show with an unbelievable use of “Home video of Oprah sobbing into a Lean Cuisine.” Who knows when you’ll have another chance to shine in Cards Against Humanity?

Good news! You no longer need to throw a party to play the world’s filthiest party game. You just need to be online.

The immensely popular and delightfully raunchy card game has been transformed into an online game called Cards Against Originality. The free Web app is playable on computers, smartphones, and tablets.

Featuring all the original cards along with the five expansion sets, Cards Against Originality does a pretty good job of emulating the real deal. Each round, one player draws a black card and acts as the judge. The other players anonymously play white cards in an effort to win the judge’s favor and/or gross everyone out to the point of uncontrollable laughter. Whoever the judge picks wins that round, and on it goes.

There’s not much to the Web app. Starting a new game generates a link; share that link with a few friends, and you’re up and running.

Don’t feel weird playing it, either. While an unofficial, Web-based version of an existing game may sound dodgy, it’s totally legal. The original game, a Kickstarter hit, operates under a Creative Commons license. Any spinoffs are perfectly fine as long as they’re not for profit. It’s even gotten the blessing of original Cards creator Max Temkin, who told Wired it was “extremely cool” to see something like this emerge from the CC license.

Just be careful where you play it. There’s a reason it’s called “the party game for horrible people,” after all.
