I found my new favorite game. I don't know how it has existed this long without me playing it or someone slapping me in the face and telling me that I NEED to play it or I might as well be dead. Somehow neither of these events have taken place. And if any of you have played this game and knew how much I love games (especially board/card games for parties) then shame on you for not notifying me.
But I was introduced to it and played it tonight, so no worries, all is well in the world. And once it isn't sold out anymore, I will own it (which is so much better). Are you wondering yet what has gotten me so very excitable? Well here it is: the one, the only, "Cards Against Humanity: a free party game for horrible people."
What's that you say? You love that game?? I KNOW!!!!
For those of you who don't know the game, check out the website. You ever play "Apples to Apples"? Yes: well it's very similar to that game, but raunchier, geekier, and more hilarious with full sentences instead of just word pairing. No: man, who are you and why do you hate games so much... also, I'm amazed you've read this far. But really, it's simply a matching game. For instance, player "A" picks up a black card and reads aloud something like "What never fails to liven up a party?" and all other players respond by picking an answer to the question with a white card like "Science." or "Pretending to care." or "Full frontal nudity." or "BATMAN!!" or "Pacman uncontrolably guzzling cum." Player "A" continues by choosing the best answer (whatever they hell that means to him) and the player who chose the winning answer gains an "Awesome Point" ... those let you win the game.
Yes, technically it's free in the point that you are able to download the main deck and print it yourself. But seeing as that still costs money and it doesn't look as nice, I've decided to wait until the professionally printed deck is available to purchase. But I CAN'T WAIT until I get this deck and have a game night. Because it's just that worth it.
So here's a pretty picture of me and my girls at what we decidedly called "Tori Con" (otherwise known as Tori's birthday party - she's in the middle). It always feels so good to be in a room with only geeks and nerds, especially if they aren't too socially inept. We had twelve players for this game and I was laughing so much!! Almost as much as I was laughing on Thursday when I went with my haunted house friends and my lovely wife, Amanda, to Second City in downtown Chicago for a comedy show. It feels good to laugh that much...
PS - Yes, I did title this blog "poetry" and you're going to like it.

I have the game now. You can download the cards for free, but you have to have them printed yourself.
