About the game
What you do in a play session
You know that Christmas spirit of giving gifts and spreading joy? Well, Cards Against Humanity decided to do it their way: with heavy doses of sarcasm and absurdity. This expansion was born from an unusual campaign in 2013, where people paid to receive 'surprises' over 12 consecutive days. The result was this set of cards that turns any family dinner into a battlefield of politically incorrect jokes.
Basically, if you're already familiar with the base game, you know the dynamic is simple: someone plays a question or an incomplete phrase, and the others compete to provide the most bizarre, offensive, or hilarious answer possible. '12 Days of Holiday Bullshit' brings that same chaos, but seasoned with references to year-end parties, Santa Claus, and all the frustrations that accompany the holidays.
This isn't a game of deep strategy — nobody here is trying to build an economic engine or conquer territories. The goal is purely social: making the crowd laugh (or gasp) at the combination of cards. It's the perfect complement for those who already own the base game and want to refresh the deck with seasonal themes, ensuring that December celebrations are far less holy and much more chaotic. Just remember to choose your guests wisely, because the cards have no filter and the chance of someone leaving the table offended is extremely high. If you enjoy humor that borders on the forbidden, this pack is the right choice to add an acidic twist to your Christmas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the original game to play?
Yes! This is an expansion. Without the black cards from the base game, you can't play.
Is it suitable for family play?
Depends on your family. If you're the type that laughs at everything and doesn't get offended, go for it. If there are conservative people at the table, better avoid it.
How long does a game last?
The time is flexible. You play as long as the fun (or the outrage) lasts, usually about 30 minutes per session.
How many people can play?
From 4 to 30 people. The more players, the higher the chance of some absurd combination popping up.
Is the game hard to learn?
Not at all. If you can read and have a dark sense of humor, you already know how to play.
