Cards Against Humanity is a game that I never expected to see a family-friendly version of But it seems like absolutely everything that could never happen has happened

Today (April 2), the folks at the Chicago-based card game Cards Against Humanity did the unthinkable and released Cards Against Humanity: a family version What kind of family-friendly is it? We haven't met your children, but this game is intended for ages 8 and up"

Yes

Yes, for all those parents who love playing Cards Against Humanity online but thought they couldn't bring this lewd game to the isolated family table, an answer not named Apples to Apples has finally arrived! It's called Apples to Apples

The team has rated the content PG in terms of what profanity is present in the game and is conducting a "family playtest" In terms of profanity, "Crap" and "boobies" are comparable to this game in terms of profanity, they said

Of course, everyone has a different parenting style, so the CAH team says, "Parents look over these cards before playing with their families and remove anything they don't like, as different children have different sensitivities," they advise That said, as you go through the download process, you will see how "family-friendly" this version is

And don't worry, this is not just a censored version of a classic According to the product page, the team "rewrote the entire game from scratch and play-tested it thoroughly with children so that both adults and children could enjoy it together"

And best of all, it's free Of course, the company hopes to one day make money from the game, stating that "our greatest hope is that everyday life will return to normal and humanity will unite to end war: that the family version will be available in stores nationwide"

One reason it may be free now is because the team is calling "Cards Against Humanity" a beta: the Family Edition is a beta Here's how to get it now and play

Again, I urge you to read the cards for yourself before deciding if it's a great way to spend an evening with the kids Since this is a beta, CAH is also looking for feedback
