First, what exactly IS Cards Against Humanity?
Cards Against Humanity is a card-based party game. There are no boards, no tokens, just the official cards and a bad of paper with a pen to keep track of the score.
Each round, one of the players takes on the role of a judge. That player will pick a black card with a simple thought or sentence that needs to be completed. Using a pool of white cards, the other players try to give the best (read: funniest) response to the black card. The judge will then choose what they consider the best response and the roll of judge will pass on to another player.
Sounds simple, right? Well, it is! What makes Cards Against Humanity so interesting is just how out there the cards can be. Just how out there can it get? Just take a look at the example to your right!
Where can you find Cards Against Humanity online?
Due to the massive popularity of CAH, every time the base game is printed, it sells out very quickly. Many people have an Amazon.com alert to let them know when the game is back in stock and rush to purchase it.
With that much pressure, where can you find Cards Against Humanity online?
Well, you can always stick to Amazon. CAH deals primarily through Amazon as their online retailer, but the official Cards Against Humanity store is often out of stock.

Get Cards Against Humanity Online For Free
Cards Against Humanity kindly allows for you to download and print all of the cards to create a free version of the game. The game's website suggests taking it to a copy store and printing it out on cardstock and then cutting it to get better quality. Having done it myself, I can confirm that for about six dollars you can get this party game any time you want with minimal effort on your part.
The only downside? Any and all expansions to Cards Against Humanity aren't available as downloads and must be purchased. If you want to integrate these new cards with your original game, you're going to need to purchase the full version of the base game or your cards won't match!
It might not seem like a big deal, but it will be much easier to see who placed which cards when some are crisp clean production runs and others are lower quality.
