Ditto. It's too bad.. my kids would love the game this is pretending to be. A well tuned body/physical humor deck for Apples to Apples would go over like gangbusters
At least Cards Against Humanity makes grammatical sense. “Help! My dog just ____” is not asking for a noun or gerund, which are the only possibility you get with answer cards. Yes, you can adapt the answers for them to make sense, but that shouldn’t be the players’ job, but rather the developers’. Probably why the latter’s names aren’t even mentioned.
"How many kids today are watching The Goonies?" All the kids with great parents. Movies like The Goonies are like Star Wars or old animated Disney films. They are timeless and you share them with your kids! ......other than that I agree with the review.
I try to get my kids to watch these "classics" from my youth, but they just whine and moan and claim they are boring the whole time ruining it for everyone.
All the kids with great parents! ✔️ My kids LOVE the classics. The Goonies, star wars, Indiana Jones, The sound of music, ET, little shop of horrors, wizard of Oz, etc. They even watch them on VHS, which is really the only true way to enjoy them. I was kind of disappointed when the new star wars came out and suddenly everyone was a fan. My kids liked star wars long before the new generation thought it was cool. But it's a cool show so, everyone should love it. Their taste in music is even better than their taste in old movies. Keep trying, Dan, your kids will come around.
Every time I hear free Willy I think of the movie even though it can mean something else which never crosses my mind unless mention to. Haha aw man I like the toliet ending with the brown stuff rolling. Did not expect it to happen like that.
Just to think that there are so many great games that have been printed using this paper and paint makes me sad. But again, people who spend their time 'making' this game could be used in a better way as well.
I don’t understand the hate that Cards against Humanity gets. Sure it’s not the best game ever, but it really is incredibly similar to apples to apples, and I don’t hear the same petty insults thrown at that game. I think it’s just become cool to trash it. All that aside, I’m not suggesting everyone needs to like or play cards against humanity. It’s a fairly middle of the road party game and the humour is certainly not to everyone’s taste. If you’re not a fan of the blue humour than by all means just pass by. But something being not to your tastes is hardly reason to throw insults at it. That’s incredibly petty behaviour. (To clarify, I don’t think I’ve seen that attitude anyone at the dice tower itself, just in the comment sections here and elsewhere)
The reason is because of how ubiquitous the game is and how everyone playing it thinks they're being "offensive XD" to the point where people would rather play anything else.
It’s that it’s “offensive”. That’s it. Board gaming is seen in mainstream view as a family thing only. You and I hear board game and we may think of twilight imperium, or five tribes, or whatever. Mainstream hears board games and thinks monopoly, uno, and apples to apples. So with the mainstream mentality when you hear about cards agaist humanity and how “offensive” it can be then you get a heart attack. And if you’re a hobby gamer you think about how crappy it is, and that it’s not even a real game and you go play brass instead.
Considering the number of R-rated comedies that people love - There's Something about Mary, The Hangover, Bridesmaids, Girls Trip, etc - it IS horrifyingly snobby to look down upon a game with the same kind of humor. Even worse, it's a very simplistic way of looking at the game. Many people see a card mentioning a sex act or a body part or some sort of secretion and think that's the entire game. The game is not about that card; it's about the juxtaposition of putting that body part or secretion or what have you into a sentence where it is unexpected. Comedy IS the unexpected. Apples to Apples relies on that same exact form of comedy, it's just PG about it.
(Oopsie! Posted before I was done...) Is Cards Against Humanity a bad game? Of course not. It's not a great game either. Like Apples, it's entertaining for a few rounds and then it's time to move on to something meatier. That's why they have to keep making new cards, because they understand the value of the game is in the humor and the humor disappears once the cards are no longer unexpected. I personally have no interest in playing the game because, frankly, I'm both funnier and more shocking than those cards. I do find its existence to be valuable, though: Someone's attitude towards it is a great barometer as to what my attitude will be towards that person. It's a great Snoot Detector.
@@kevinbhieey9188 You can't compartmentalize a mechanic from an ideology of immodesty. If you take Gloomhaven and commingle it with pornographic imagery, it doesn't mean it's still a good game. Words are important because they can edify, encourage and inspire or they can corrupt, degrade communication through profanity and implant inappropriate imagery. Not that I want to make anyone uncomfortable but I have to bring up sin in that first provocations, or temptations, come to everyone. You can't stop that, however, it is what you do with that idea after, that makes the difference. If you dally with the idea long enough, you can then eventually become captive to it and over time it wears down your defenses to graduate to further depravity. This game is absolute garbage and why would anyone feed this to young minds that look up to their parents for direction? Why put this imagery in their heads when their spiritual discernment, if they even have any in this day and age, has not developed yet? Well, probably because their parents haven't developed it either.
Yeah I like Cards Against Humanity, but trying to make it "kid friendly" makes no sense. Let them grow up and decide for themselves if they want to play Cards Against Humanity, absolutely no reason for this to exist.
Thanks for including many of the card prompts. It was hard to find those and clarified the depth of the game. You saved me 30 bucks. Ironically humorous you would end with a poop judgement.
Just stick with the original Cards Against Humanity. At least you get a nice variety of both innocuous jokes and obscene jokes. It's not all poop and fart jokes.
It is a big failure in a game that is literally just words and fill in the blanks that they didn't even try to make all of the blanks require a noun of some form. It is pretty slipshod feon thr beginning to have a blank for a verb and no verb answers available. This would be less of a concern if it weren't literally all there is to the game.
Cards against humanity is just a crappy game... Regardless of its maturity content ... What makes this any different? What parent would be pleased with this trash?
Definitely put off this game now. But also because it sounds way too American for us Brits, me my kids wouldn't understand about 50% of what's written or find it remotely funny. They're 8. Wtf even is a turd burglar?!
Thank you. One of our relatives got us this for Christmas. Glad we review first. It's not even getting opened and we will return it to the store ASAP.
I appreciate this honest review. I just spotted the game on Amazon and was considering getting it. I have changed my mind.
Me too
Me too. Just removed it from my shopping cart.
Ditto. It's too bad.. my kids would love the game this is pretending to be. A well tuned body/physical humor deck for Apples to Apples would go over like gangbusters
Best use of that toilet game. I hope to see it again in future reviews.
I completely agree with the comment that the people who made this game don't even get kids.

Awesome use of the kacka alarm :D
Good information to know. Thank you. I like the gameplay mechanic of filling swntence blanks, so offering an alternative would be great.
I never thought I'd see a negative review from Tom! Glad I did. Was considering this game but now will definitely NOT buy! Thanks for the warning Tom!
What if we take the questions from Kids Against Maturity, and mix them with the Cards Against Humanity answers 🤔
You should get what do you meme family edition it’s the same concept but it’s 100% kid friendly
Thank you - you helped me make up my mind!

Something smelt fishy when I saw "publisher n/a, designer n/a, artist n/a"
Just played this with our Grandkids, had a great time
They also got cards against humanity family addition
Doesn't family friendly remove the fun of cards against humanity
"fun"
Glad I stayed till the end of the video. The gavel bit paid off big time
kid version of twilight imperium or feast for odin and prep them for the longer games ahead would make more sense lol
geezz... I wanted to buy it... and now I think I still want to buy it but wont
the gooch, wasn't expecting that 😅
Every time I hear free Willy I think of the movie even though it can mean something else which never crosses my mind unless mention to.
Haha aw man I like the toliet ending with the brown stuff rolling. Did not expect it to happen like that.
hahahahaha From bikes to trains to guitars.
Kaka alarm is back!
My daughter wanted a card game for one of her Christmas presents, NOPE not gonna be this.
Just to think that there are so many great games that have been printed using this paper and paint makes me sad. But again, people who spend their time 'making' this game could be used in a better way as well.
Best ending ever

It’s made by the same people
Yeah I like Cards Against Humanity, but trying to make it "kid friendly" makes no sense. Let them grow up and decide for themselves if they want to play Cards Against Humanity, absolutely no reason for this to exist.
If you don’t like kids make them okay this game though.
Or get apples to apples
Seal of Kacka!
Thanks for including many of the card prompts. It was hard to find those and clarified the depth of the game. You saved me 30 bucks. Ironically humorous you would end with a poop judgement.
Sounds funny
Family friendly Cards Against Humanity... you mean Apples to Apples? I do agree though, this game missing the mark even on its intended audience.
Thanks! Sounds like a waste of money. I had not even heard of the adult version. Looking for clean fun with my family
LOL! Loved the Dice Tower Judgement gavel bit at the end. ;-)
Wow, I'm avoiding this one. I'm shocked they put that gay slur in (TB). Really not suitable. Thanks for the heads up!
Just stick with the original Cards Against Humanity. At least you get a nice variety of both innocuous jokes and obscene jokes. It's not all poop and fart jokes.
Parents, stay away from this game. not kid friendly.
This is the second worst game I've ever seen but it's a big improvement on Cards against Humanity
Just bought the game! Can't wait to play it with my son! haha
Innuendo? The Goonies? Why can't there ACTUALLY be a cards against humanity for kids? A game that everyone will understand.
sticky joe
Thx for saving me 30bux. I need a good game for my kids for our road trip kids ages 15 12 10. Thx bro. I hate apples to apples btw
#TomVaselHatesFun
Just kidding. This looks like a real stinker.
Oh come on! A misfire in all directions? Please.
It is a big failure in a game that is literally just words and fill in the blanks that they didn't even try to make all of the blanks require a noun of some form. It is pretty slipshod feon thr beginning to have a blank for a verb and no verb answers available. This would be less of a concern if it weren't literally all there is to the game.
My only disagreement: "artsy fartsy" is NOT a poop/fart joke.
Cards against humanity is just a crappy game... Regardless of its maturity content ... What makes this any different? What parent would be pleased with this trash?
Thanks for steering me clear of this turd...
LOOKS SO BORING. GLAD I LOOKED AT THIS REVIEW
Definitely put off this game now. But also because it sounds way too American for us Brits, me my kids wouldn't understand about 50% of what's written or find it remotely funny. They're 8. Wtf even is a turd burglar?!
Do you have kids?
Seven.
Thank you, that game looks awful! Over board on the poop. $#!; Overload
Who wanted a review of this lazy knockoff? What a waste of time for us and Tom.
it's for entertainment purposes.
I wanted a review of the lazy knockoff. My time was well spent.
you apparently have never watched cartoons
