The Rebel’s Guide to Cards Against Humanity: The UK Edition
In a world where politeness and good manners are often Expected, someone had to create a game that shatters those expectations and brings out the deviant in all of us. Enter Cards Against Humanity: The UK Edition, the irreverent, subversive, and thoroughly British spin-off of the popular adult party game.
For the uninitiated, Cards Against Humanity is a party game designed for 4-20 players (yes, you read that right – 20!) where players create crude, cheeky, and often inappropriate sentences or phrases by combining cards with different words and phrases. The twist? It’s a bit like a British export of adult-oriented Mad Libs, but with better wine and more sarcastic takedowns of the Establishment.
Launched in 2011 by a group of former Northwestern University students, the original US version became a surprise hit, with over 2 million copies sold worldwide. And now, Cards Against Humanity: The UK Edition is here to bring the same irreverent humor to the British masses.
So, what sets the UK Edition apart from its American counterpart? For a start, it’s all about embracing the British eccentricity and dry wit. Players can expect to find cards with luscious British slang, cheeky references to our beloved monarch, and a healthy dose of self-deprecation about the nation’s quirks. Who knows? You might even learn some new words for "football" or "queueing".
Imagine playing a game with your pals where you’re expected to construct sentences like: "Why was the Queen’s corgi so happy?" (Answer: "Because it had just been handed a Piers Morgan newspaper.") or "Why did the London bus driver go to therapy?" (Answer: "Because he was struggling to cope with all the bloody complaining passengers!"). Yeah, that’s the kind of confronting soul-searching you can expect from this game.
The creators of the UK Edition have also included a dash of British pop culture phenomena, like Downton Abbey, Sherlock, and even the Royal family. Whether it’s a spot of tea with the Queen or a WikiLeaks moment for the Prime Minister, this game pokes fun at the absurdities of British life.
Don’t be fooled, though – the game is not just about mocking the Brits; it’s also about laughing at ourselves. Cards Against Humanity: The UK Edition will make you groan, wince, and snort with laughter. It’s the perfect way to spend an evening with friends, especially after a few pints down at the local pub.
So, if you’re ready to table some outrageous statements, skewer the sacred cows, and poke fun at our collective British sense of humor, then Cards Against Humanity: The UK Edition is the game for you. Vive la révolution!
