Did you Play your Cards against Humanity well?

Cards against Humanity was developed by eight alumni of Highland Park High School along with other friends and relatives as an attempt to do something creative on the eve of New Year. This game is played in parties using cards and can either be purchased in the form of published hard copy or, can be downloaded for free and the players can get their own cards printed. This is one of the most interesting games ever played.
From where does their root originate?
Cards against Humanity has drawn inspiration from various other games and created its own interface which is not only popular but interesting too. On 1st December, 2010; the campaign started andfinanciers came to support this game. Fortunately, this campaign turned out to be very successful. The target of $4000 was met within two weeks and within two months it gained a huge turnover of $15,000, almost 400% of the initial target. The game was acknowledged worldwide owing to the fact that its content was simple yet materialistic and humorous. The huge profit inspired the founders to add more cards to the game, about fifty. After the enormous success of this campaign, the creators kept the game under observation for few more days and finally released it publically in May 2011. Cards against Humanity is printed by AdMagic Inc.
Let’s play step by step:
The game starts with each player drawing ten cards while the person who poops in the last game happens to be the Card Czar. The Czar has black ‘question’ cards from which he reads out the question in answer to which each player passes him white ‘answer’ cards. The Czar then shuffles all the cards and reads out the answers to rest of the players in the funniest way possible. The best answer wins and its card holder becomes the next Czar, the process repeats. In white cards, the parts of speech, be it either words or phrases is, normally a noun or a gerund. Usually, the black cards are direct questions or may contain blanks to be filled. Although the rules are flexible, rare situations exist when the rules of Cards against Humanity can be broken.
