Laugh With the House of Cards Against Humanity Deck

If you don’t know about Cards Against Humanity, you better get with it. We promise that this game will be the life of your next party. It’s hilarious, and you’re going to laugh so hard you won’t know what hit you. It’s basically like Madlibs on crack. Pick a Card Czar, and he/she then picks a black card with a fill in the blank phrase. Then everyone who is playing submits an answer, and the Card Czar reads the answer out loud, one by one. The best one gets an Awesome Point.

Best of all these guys got approached by Netflix to create a special Cards Against Humanity House of Cards edition just in time for the premier of Season 2. Yep that’s right, all the insider knowledge that only a House of Cards fanatic would know served as inspiration for Cards Against Humanity’s latest set. To create the set, not only did the folks at Cards Against Humanity chat with the Netflix Series’s head writer, they also watched the entire first season.

What did they come up with? Here’s a sample:
