Cards Against Christmas Edition – Best Game for the Best Holiday of the Year

When counting things that Christmas couldn’t work without, right beside the Christmas tree and turkey, stand card games. They add a touch of magic and create unforgettable memories, which is just what this holiday is about. Sure, classic card games that can be played by the whole family, just like UNO or anything similar, are great, but it doesn’t beat the adult fun of Cards Against Christmas. 

This is a card game brought in the same spirit as Cards Against Humanity, but it’s Christmas-themed! Cards Against Christmas comes with a deck of 228 cards, and they’re each about the most beautiful time of the year. You will get to make jokes about the Grinch being in a thong, getting Botox for the Christmas card photoshoot, getting a gift card for therapy, Rudolph’s OnlyFans content, or gifting grandma’s teeth. Of course, combined with the creativity of black cards, they turn into stomach-aching laughter. 

Although Christmas is the kids’ favorite time of the year, too, make sure to play this game only when they’re asleep or too busy looking at the gifts. Cards Against Christmas is only good for people who are 17 or older. The jokes are not for the weak. 

Gameplay

• Christmas gatherers around so many people, so it should be easy for you to have a group of 4 to 20+ people to play with. However, you could do it with just as few as 2 or 3 players, too. 
• Let someone be the Card Santa per turn. That’s how we will call the Card Czar (the game judge).
• Everyone else is dealt 10 white cards. 
• The Card Santa reads one black card out loud.
• Everyone else submits one of their white cards, which they think makes the best combination with the black card of the round. 
• The game judge reads all the responses and picks their favorite, who gets one awesome point. 
• A new Card Santa is chosen, and a new round begins. 

Winning

Christmas requires a little bit of competition in everything. So, at the end of the game, played with typical CAH rules, whoever has the most awesome points wins Cards Against Christmas!
