The one epiphany I’ve had during this period of self-isolation is that playing games with your friends absolutely rules. Which sounds glaringly obvious but I never really did it in a pre-COVID world. Before social distancing, my friends and I wasted our time “getting brunch” and “recreationally drinking”. When really we should’ve been spending it hunkering down and playing Mafia.
If you’ve exhausted all the social deduction games you had up your sleeve, and rinsed house party for everything that it’s got, fear not. Cards Against Humanity is now available to play online. If you’ve never played it before, you’re in for a real treat and perhaps an unwelcome realisation that you’re not as funny as you once thought.
The “party game for horrible people,” requires players to complete a fill-in-the-blank phrase as part of a sentence. To become a victor in this game you simply have to supply the best/wittiest/most morally skewed answer. It’s a grand time.
The online version is pretty much the same deal as the original. Except you don’t have to deal with pesky cards. You just gotta create an online room and share that link with your friends. There’s video chat too so you won’t feel like you’re playing some fucked up iteration of Solitare.
Your Friday evening plans are now sorted and you can thank us later. Call in the noble service of our dear friend Jimmy Brings. Head to Playingcards.io and suck the marrow out of self-isolation.
