TROPICAL ISLAND OR STAYING LOCAL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, WE HAVE SOME HILARIOUSLY FUNNY AND MINDCHALLENGING BOARD GAMES TO KEEP THE WHOLE FAMILY ENTERTAINED
Cards Against Humanity: A party game for horrible people
Cards Against Humanity is an adult party game in which players complete fill-inthe-blank statements using words or phrases typically deemed offensive, risqué or politically incorrect printed on playing cards. Its title refers to the phrase “crimes against humanity”, reflecting its politically incorrect content.
The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a black card, and everyone else answers with their funniest white card. The objective of the game is to turn awkward personalities and dull social skills into hours of fun and laughter.
And for the whole family, the newly released Cards Against Humanity: Family Edition is a brand-new game for kids and adults to play together. There is even a glow in the dark version. From R514; www.takealot.com.
