They did a limited run of the game where the cards explain the joke so it was considered educational material, thus circumventing the tarrifs. Its pretty good, props on them for doing it.
It is WELL worth it, even for people not normally a fan of it.
There are cool backstories like “we ran out of ideas, but this made us pee ourselves laughing so we went that direction since it showed it would work” and for the pope card a description of who the pope is, ending with (paraphrased)“the current pope is some guy named Bob from Chicago”
No no, I do. I have a very imaginative 5 yr old. He saw me play Helldivers once and wouldn't stop saying "sweet liberty my leg!" The looks I go in public.
I clicked over to their site on the worldwide web and they have a game called Contact. Seems like it's for nerds, so it'd be right up Lemmy's collective alley.
Nah, stop being nice. TAKE it from them. If they won't pivot from a Trickle Down Economy to a Trickle Up Economy, then we should forcibly impose a Robin Hood Economy.
Small, independent, Mom & Pop businesses are hands off, but for all those big corps? Rob'em blind.
You can keep the money. I want my country back. I want the Epstein Trials, the rule of law and consequences for all administration officials, law enforcement and ICE agents.
EVERYBODY! They WILL give the money back, and we're going to FORCE them. The only reason they get away with this shit is because we allow it. We have the power, we have to exercise it.
Yeah, I can't stand the game, this bailed it, but I've always appreciated their stances, because I agree with them of course. But like you, when someone says hey let's play cards against humanity, I say let's not. I can make jokes about people's races and cancer without the cards, don't need everyone cramping my style.
Public companies don't have to be evil, despite popular belief. It's a choice. Meanwhile, private equity is at least as consistently evil. Public/private is not in itself the problem. Greedy, sociopathic assholes are the problem.
Note that they didn't raise their own prices (they absorbed 100% of the tariffs on products they make), so if you bought directly from them or through their Amazon listing, you didn't overpay and don't need a refund. If you bought from a retailer like Wal-Mart or Target, they'll start by refunding people who have a receipt, and then if there is money left over they'll try to refund anyone else who thinks they overpaid.
That is what happens when companies are run by people who actually care about what they do and are not in it just for the money. The exact opposite of this happens when companies are run by ghoulish billionaire shareholders.
This company never disappoints
Because of the dick size?
And color!
And flavor.

The game has gotten kind of old to me, but I wanna support them any way I can. Any other things they make that I could buy?
If you want to support them any way you can just simply buy their shit regardless. You can gift it to people.
same, but played the family version for my kids and it was so much fun.
the youngest one needs to practice reading, and that game was a few hours of her reading and laughing as hard as she could
This brings a smile to my face
Oh, hell yeah. Thank you for this idea. I've been wanting a fun way to teach my son to read. Thank you.
you have no idea how twisted/dark can kid's humour get
No no, I do. I have a very imaginative 5 yr old. He saw me play Helldivers once and wouldn't stop saying "sweet liberty my leg!" The looks I go in public.
They have many fine products on their all products page.
The "Don't talk to me until I've had my Clam-o-naise" mug is tempting me.
Oh a clam and mayo sandwich would fucking slap
I'm all about clam slappin
I put mayo on my fried oyster sandwiches and I love it. I can imagine similar tastiness there. I might try it this weekend.
Ooh it's been too long since I've had a nice big plate of fried clams with a mayo based sauce
There are now tons of different expansions for CAH, like specific topic types and whatnot like sci-fi, nature, food, medicine.
Buy the SFW version and gift it to a school or library.

Please don't reference our "collective alley" without the whole group's consent.
Group's hole consent, got it.
Left that one wide open for you
Teamwork makes the team work.
No sarcasm, the best kind of advertising.
This should be the norm
We can make this the norm by boycotting greedy corporations

I may have gotten tired of the game but I never get tired of this company
You can keep the money. I want my country back. I want the Epstein Trials, the rule of law and consequences for all administration officials, law enforcement and ICE agents.
Keep demanding it, we'll get there.
I'm sorry, I thought this was Cards Against Humanity.
The cards might be against humanity, but that doesn't necessarily mean the company is.
The company against the cards against humanity. Got it!
They are incredibly based. Game is pretty fun too.

Thank you for linking cause the FAQ is even better than the post.
Who is expecting this to actually ever happen?
EVERYBODY! They WILL give the money back, and we're going to FORCE them. The only reason they get away with this shit is because we allow it. We have the power, we have to exercise it.
Well, I dont know how big a corporation/entity/whatever CAH is, but thats usually who makes out best
Great company, though
This is such a reddit comment. If you don't enjoy it don't play it, but acting smugly superior to those that do just makes you look like an ass.
I thought it was funny, geeez
I love playing Cards Against Humanity but the image was still fucking hilarious 😂 gotta be able to laugh at oneself
Not acting superior.
Just don't have friends.
We're not acting superior.
This game is beyond stupid, is basically witless, and completely unfunny.
Hello, I'm interested in playing a good game with my friends.
Can you recommend some alternatives which you think are good?
Ohh I got one, fluxx
You can get all kinds of versions and the rules are confusing for one round then it just makes sense.
Easy to get into and great fun with friends

A card game called "asshole" requires no skill and gets everybody laughing.
Bullshit or Spoons is fantastic
First of all, ow.
Yeah, I can't stand the game, this bailed it, but I've always appreciated their stances, because I agree with them of course. But like you, when someone says hey let's play cards against humanity, I say let's not. I can make jokes about people's races and cancer without the cards, don't need everyone cramping my style.
brb going to buy more CAH cards
the corporations we need.
Well son of a bitch. A cooperation doing something morally correct.
Not a corporation. They're not "incorporated" and are not publically traded (afaik).
They're a private company who are still able to do these kinds of things because they're not beholden to stockholders.
To me, companies like them aren't the problem. Corporations with stockholders are the problem.
Public companies don't have to be evil, despite popular belief. It's a choice. Meanwhile, private equity is at least as consistently evil. Public/private is not in itself the problem. Greedy, sociopathic assholes are the problem.
Link broken?
The original announcement was on their Facebook page, and links to https://www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com/

so they are actually giving back money they never charged anyone for? The money they are getting back is the money tarrif stole them no?
That seems to be correct!
This can't be a good financial decision for them, but holy shit is it based.
They've always bragged about making bad financial decisions simply because the results of those decisions amused them.
