Cards Against Humanity: Family Edition is a new party game that's just like Cards Against Humanity, except it's written for kids and adults to play together. Each round, one player asks a question from a black card, and everyone else answers with their funniest white card. We didn't just take the adult stuff out of the original game: we wrote a whole new game from scratch and tested it with thousands of families.
