The best wish list item that doesn’t require batteries or is a video game is here. This supposedly parent non-approved The Cards Against Humanity is one of the top hilariously funny horrible card games!
Don’t let the cover black box or the name The Cards Against Humanity deceive you. Just plain ignore the hype that this is a party game for really horrible and mean people.
No, it won’t give parents a heart attack nor give teenagers ideas to be more mischievous than they already are. Most are mischief makers when it comes to parent non-approved stuff from dressing to hanging out with friends.
Don’t let its nasty ranking as America’s #1 gerbil coffin put you off either. It’s just a black box cover. That’s all. Gerbils get buried in shoe boxes generally. Some shoe boxes are without colour, some well, they’re just happened to be black.
No you won’t be rapped as a bad parent for buying your teen this game. Instead get the entire family to play a game or two together. Have teen parties at home under supervision and have some fun with your teens.
The game is politically incorrect and has some sexual context, we agree. But then so does everything on the internet, TV, magazines and even your hand phone for that matter.
The important thing is this. It gets the teenagers to open up and speak about the odd and uncomfortable topics in humanity card games. It’s the hard topics that we read about in in the newspaper and media. Uncomfortable topics like abuse, violence, racism and even “surprise sex”. The topics parents and teenagers skirt around and everyone has trouble opening up to discuss.
The Cards Against Humanity gives you two or sometimes three cards to snap together in a combination that is sometimes good, sometimes nonsensical or just weird. You may see it as amusing, alarming or whatever.
The appeal lies mainly on the raucous tittering of people saying out their thoughts out loud. In reality people say whatever they want all the time. So it is not so alarming.
Sometimes when it’s discussing hard topics, one sure fire way is with humour. Some people play it in a safe space, with a keen awareness of boundaries. I would say play it in the safety of a family and get ready to open the channels for deep parent-child communication. It’s good to get the entire family together. The Cards Against Humanity is a great for way to teach children to deal with prejudices. The sword cuts both ways in open channel communications.
For Moms. if can get your teens and family to communicate with you, then this is a sure win in any parenting handbook.
So don’t wait for your oldest son to put this game on his Christmas wish list.
