TL;DR For a large party, consider the base game plus colored expansions (Red, Blue, Green). Each expansion adds 300 cards and offers different humor styles.
Base Game and Colored Expansions
The base game of Cards Against Humanity comes with 500 white cards and 100 black cards, which is suitable for playing with multiple people over several hours [1:3]. To expand your deck, you can purchase the colored expansions: Red, Blue, and Green. Each box contains 300 cards, and they are differentiated by color rather than content theme
[1:4]. The Green box is noted for having particularly random and raunchy jokes
[1:4].
Additional Packs and Customization
For those looking to further customize their experience, there are blank card packs available that allow players to create their own cards. However, this approach requires creativity and an understanding of what makes a good CAH card [1:3]. Some users also mention custom booster packs made as gifts, although these are not widely available for purchase
[3:3].
Third-party Expansions and Alternatives
While third-party expansions exist, some users have found them to be less witty compared to official Cards Against Humanity packs [2:1]. Additionally, there are online versions such as "Pretend You're Zyzzy," which allow players to write in their own cards, offering a unique twist on the original game
[2:9].
Special Editions and Promotions
Cards Against Humanity is known for its creative promotions and special editions, including humorous packs like the "Bullshit Box" and a Pride pack [2:2]
[2:10]. These special editions often add an extra layer of fun and surprise to the game.
Recommendations
For a robust gaming experience at a large party, start with the base game and add one or more of the colored expansions based on your group's humor preferences. If you're interested in creating custom cards, consider purchasing blank card packs. Be cautious with third-party expansions, as their quality may vary. Keep an eye out for special edition packs and promotions for additional fun elements.
I'm sure this question is asked alot. Sorry In advance. So, I want to get a pack to have a huge party night with a bunch of friends. I'm talking 5+ people. But I don't know what pack to buy. I want to have enough cards for everyone to play for a few hours, without drawing duplicates. I'd like to buy a pack with a few decks. Ideally 500+ white cards. Which pack do I buy? Should I get multiple packs, or is there a mega pack or something?
Thanks on advance.
When I bought the Original Game I bought Ex. Pack 1 & 2:
The 1st card for Ex. Pack #1 was: "A Big Black Dick"
The 1st card for Ex. Pack #2 was: " A Bigger Blacker Dick"
​
Needless to say, I was not disappointed in this game at all!
The base game comes with 500 white and 100 black cards. If you want to play for about 4 hours with 6 or more people then I suggest buying the base set and all 3 colored expansions plus whichever packs seem up your alley. That's about $100 if you factor in other packs or tax if you're buying from Target. If you're really feeling up to it you can buy a pack of blank cards to try to customize, but it usually doesn't work well if you don't know what makes a decent CAH card.
Edit: I'm not sure why V-DaySniper's first comment was deleted, but they basically said exactly what I said. Although they added you should get the bigger blacker box to hold it all, which I also agree with because storing them together is easier and you get a few shiny dick joke cards and a unique card that only your box contains.
I'll probably do that. Just for future reference, do the colored expansions provide different experiences? For example, is Red more dark/perverted humor? Or is it just a name? Also, if you could only get one expansion, which would you get? And finally, how many cards does each expansion have?
Thanks for your reply!
The colors are only to differentiate them. Red came first, then blue, and last was green. Each box contains 300 cards. Green is my personal favorite. It has the most random/raunchy jokes in my opinion.
Buy the base game and then select one of the colored boxes. Red, blue, or green.
Depends on what you want to spend. I'd say for now get the base game box plus red, blue, and green expansions and maybe the bigger blacker box to hold it all.
That will get you the most cards.
Cards against humanity also one time sold a "Bullshit Box". People bought thinking it was an expansion pack but it was literally a box of bull feces
Genuinely, as much as someone who can agree with the “CAH is tiresome” takes, the people behind it seem like they’re funny and having a good time.
That's the crazy thing, the game itself is very mid. Every party I've been to where it was played, it just kinda fizzles out after a couple rounds. And there are soooo many copycat games, some are better, most are worse. But CAH stays relevant because they're just excellent at marketing and knowing their audience. I don't think I will ever want to play the game, but damn if I'm not tempted to support these rascals and buy more of their weird shit.
I used to go to some parties with some Game Devs, and their hack was to pair the White CAH cards with the game 'Telestrations'. (Think pictionary meets telephone/Chinese whispers).
Turns out you can only get so much value out of the same stupid/random/dirty stuff, but when its used as a seed and filtered through the brains of your friends...
There’s an online version called “pretend you’re zyzzy” that my friends and I played in high school. It gave you the option go write in your own cards…..pair that with the minds of teens and you can pnly imagine the amount of times we almost got busted bc we couldnt keep it down.
They are genuinely very funny. I had a friend who picked up a couple of those knockoff third-party expansions, and they really highlight how witty and not-quite-crossing-the-line the actual Cards Against Humanity cards are by contrast.
They had one pack that offered a one dollar rebate.
Inside the pack with the cards was a dollar bill.
I like how the Black Friday promotion has a big button that just says “Consume!”
Well it actually says "Consume!", with a capital C and an exclamation mark
They did. It was their Pride pack, and it was absolutely excellent
God I love these cantankerous bastards.
They said it repeatedly and constantly. I bought it. Once people started getting it in the mail I listed mine on eBay. Someone hit buy it now for $15 more than I paid. Plus they paid for shipping
What is that pack with pennywise on it?
It was a custom booster pack that was made for me as a gift.
How does one aquire a custom booster pack? Do I need to sleep directly with a CAH employee?
That looks really cool. Any chance you could link us to where it was made for you? I'm sure some people would be interested in buying them.
You know... you're supposed to open them and play the game
Are these all unopened?
It was a gift for me but they were made on one of the playing card websites. At the time this photo was taken they were unopened.

Pardon the mess in the kitchen table and the glare on the big cards. I had already put sleeves on them.
Got this and the previous Kickstarter exclusives (Sorcerers expansion and Monsters expansion), so very excited to try all of this out!
Thanks again for sharing these cards! I've finished my translation from English to Chinese.
Woo hoo ! Thank you for this ! Does anybody know when they will be available in retail ?
No date as of yet, but it thankfully won't be Kickstarter exclusive.
It will be available once Wave 2 is fulfilled from Twisted Cryptids. Wave 2 ETA is August- September 🙂
Thanks for posting these, I will say it bugs me to death that the +s are on the wrong side for all the roll costs. I can ’t unsee it
I wish I could upvote this more than once. This is a pretty glaring error and should stay consistent with all expansions. Hopefully they'll fix it with future prints but we'll be stuck with these unless we purchase a second set.
Agreed it’s lazy and quite frustrating. I dunno feel similar for the Heroes in this set they are clones and seem lazy to me.
Nice, can we already back this Kickstarter?
This was the Kickstarter for Twisted Cryptids that has already ended.
OP is correct. It will be available retail once Wave 2 is fulfilled from Twisted Cryptids. ETA for wave 2 is August-September 🙂
Just scrolling the Amazon and look what I found 😁😁
Cards Against Humanity: Out of Line • A whole new way to play Plus 150 new cards https://a.co/d/3rxHbPP
We got to play test this game for CAH last winter.
Worst game night ever.
This twist on the game just isn’t fun and needlessly complicated version of CAH. Even with booze no one in our 6 person group liked it and all recommended we never play it again.
Oof. Can you tell us a bit about how one plays with this added? OliveCrayon and I are discussing how we should set up the sheet for where the "lines" go (before Responses/Prompts, or after?)
Send me a PM and we can compare notes. We had a good time with it!!
Exact same experience here…
Thank you for that. I found this too while looking.

Do I buy this for the 50 new cards....
Easy there. I see the words New also but lets make sure it’s not a repack of a “A few more/extra cards” from the bundles or something else that’s been released.
Ugh thats how I feel. I already had exp 1-6 when they came out with RBG, and now this???
Edit: I have ultimately decided I am not getting this set, but we do need to document it. If/when someone gets it, could they please upload the list for the spreadsheets? I can fix the formatting, I just need the list T^T
How exactly does the game work? The explanation on Amazon doesn't make it that clear.
Let me look at the notes from the play test again. Only problem being, they may have tweaked it since we tested.
I hope that will be available in EU sooner than the last expansions! It's tough living outside the US...
Not as good as the other thing they have coming down the line. (Pun not name) but they gotta chill my bank account was just starting to recover from the last set. 😅

One of my favorite stupid cards is already the one that just says “bees?”. Even though it already exists, I think it would be a great addition to the 2020 pack too lol
The cards have been FOUND! They were lodged down in the bottom corner that’s circled in the picture, basically had to bend and rip the square that the playing pieces sit in BUT if this helps anyone else who seems to be missing cards then please try!!
How did they get in there? 😭
there little slot in the box up top is not secure! as soon as you tilt the box sideways they can slide right through the holder and end up under everything. 😭
Dang that's crazy. I really hope the Mel support team can give you your money back... like even though you've found the cards, you've damaged the product in the process, which wasn't really your fault
Still insanity 😭😭😭 glad you have them though
Thank you so much this post saved me from sending an angry email, I probably still am going too though.
were your cards missing as well????😓
so does this mean i’m gonna have to rip mine😭😭
i had to bend a rip a few things💔 i let the support team know and they already got back to me tho saying they would replace my box for me.
when you shake the box could you hear it? i’m shaking mine and i don’t hear anything. i don’t wanna rip it and then nothing be in it😭
Mine was hidden too. We gotta spread the word that the cards are under the packaging.
i’ve honestly been trying! 😭 anyone who will listen to me i am telling them to keep looking!!
Justin Jacobson held an AMA recently, and one of his comments mentioned that they’re in the playtest phase of a new expansion!
I don’t know that this is a confirmation that we’ll definitely get another expansion, but it does sound likely.
Any wild speculations of what it might be about? Any new themes you’d like to see? Anyone got inserts for the box that will now be obselete? (Me 🥲)
Take my money, dammit.
Im always excited for anything new regarding Return to Dark Tower!
Very excited.
I'm minimal in most other aspects of life, but definitely a maximalist when it comes to board game expansions. But I was disappointed with the fact that the two expansions available now are not compatible with each other.
