About the game
What you do in a play session
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.
