Fancy playing Cards Against Humanity with your mates? Well, now you can. Online. For free. And here's how to do it...

How to play Cards Against Humanity online

Playingcards.io, which is an online card game website, has multiple different games that you can play. One of those games is Cards Against Humanity.

If you don't know what Cards Against Humanity is, here's a quick explainer: Cards Against Humanity is 'a party game for horrible people'. Each round, one player asks a question from a black card, and everyone else answers with their funniest – and often offensive – white card. It's very much a game for adults and definitely not one to play with your parents. Unless your parents have the same level of questionable humour as you.

Anyway, once you click into the game on the site, you'll be able to create a virtual playing room. The site will give you a link, which you then send to your friends so they can join the game.

Up to six players can join the game, and you can even set up a voice or video call too, to get the full experience.

Much like if you've ever played Scrabble as a group on an iPad, the site allows everyone to see the game, but only you can see the cards in your hand.

There's many different ways to play Cards Against Humanity, but here's the basics:

Players start by selecting 10 white cards from the pile and dragging them to the bottom of the screen. Here, you will be able to see all your answer options. After every round, you should always have 10 cards in your hand.

Each round, one person becomes the judge. That person will select a black card. The first judge can be chosen based on any random thing you as a group decide – like whoever went to the toilet last. (Yes, those are really the rules.)

Once the judge has selected a black card, the other players will then choose their best white card, and drag it to the middle, ready to be judged.

The judge will then flip over those cards, read them out one by one and make their winning decision based on who was the funniest or most outrageous.

The winner of that round will then keep the black card. The person with the most black cards at the end of the game, wins!

Happy gaming, you filthy animals!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why won't you add rule-variations/replayable-games/any-other-feature? It would make the game much better.

A: We get a lot of requests from people that just want one tiny little feature added to a game. What they don't realize is that if we start implementing all the suggestions we get then the games will no longer be simple. The number one praise we get is that the interface is simple and uncluttered and it's easy to play. That's very much deliberate. There is no login, no loading screens, as few options as possible. We want to keep it as simple as possible, and that means each game only has one set of rules, you can't choose variations, we try to add as few controls as possible to the screen etc. So, don't feel bad if you make a suggestion and I deny it, we deny 99% of all suggestions.

Q: Why can't I see my statistics on another computer?

A: This goes back to simplicity again. We don't want people to have to login to the site. We don't want to keep passwords in a database and be responsible for them. Your statistics are stored in your browser, we don't store them anywhere. That means that as soon as you switch browsers you won't see the same statistics.

Q: Does this site use cookies and/or track people?

A: Yes, this site uses cookies. They are used for game purposes, like remembering your scores between rounds, but also to gather aggregate data on people's browsers, screen resolutions and more, which helps us figure out what we need to support. Finally they are also used for advertising purposes. A more detailed description of our cookie use can be found in our Privacy Policy, and you can always reach out and contact us if you're concerned about it.

Q: Do the computer players cheat? Are the games fixed?

A: No. In all the games the cards are dealt randomly at the start, and the computer players make their decisions based only on knowledge of their own hands, and knowledge of what has been played. Basically they use the same information as a human player would have available to them.
