About the game

What you do in a play session

If you are the type who prefers to avoid the hassle of gift shopping and wants to ensure your holiday gathering is, at the very least, chaotic, Cards Against the Holidays is here to save your skin. This box is the ultimate combo for those with questionable humor who want to take their holiday parties to a level of weirdness that would make any conservative relative leave the room. Inside, you get the latest edition of Cards Against Humanity, packed with 400 new cards not found in the original, ensuring your repertoire of bad-taste jokes is always up to date.

But it doesn't stop there. The set includes the 'Horrible Holidays' expansion, featuring 100 cards specifically focused on the most 'wonderful' time of the year, bringing festive themes that will destroy any remaining holiday spirit in the group. To top off the weirdness, the game comes with a 'Mystery Cursed Ornament'—a cursed decoration for you to hang on your tree, a bush, or anywhere that needs a touch of festive despair.

The gameplay is the classic one everyone knows and loves (or hates): one player acts as a judge, poses a question or incomplete sentence, and the others simultaneously select the card from their hand that completes the scenario in the most absurd or offensive way possible. The judge picks the winner, and chaos ensues. It is perfect for large groups, supporting from 4 to 30 players, meaning you can turn that dull family dinner into an unforgettable event—or ensure no one invites you for Christmas next year. With flexible playtime, ranging from half an hour to as long as you can handle laughing (or crying), Cards Against the Holidays is the right choice for those who take nothing seriously and want to celebrate the holidays with a healthy dose of satire.
