And flavor.

They did a limited run of the game where the cards explain the joke so it was considered educational material, thus circumventing the tarrifs. Its pretty good, props on them for doing it.

[–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 99 points 3 weeks ago

It is WELL worth it, even for people not normally a fan of it.

There are cool backstories like “we ran out of ideas, but this made us pee ourselves laughing so we went that direction since it showed it would work” and for the pope card a description of who the pope is, ending with (paraphrased)“the current pope is some guy named Bob from Chicago”

The game has gotten kind of old to me, but I wanna support them any way I can. Any other things they make that I could buy?

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 100 points 3 weeks ago

If you want to support them any way you can just simply buy their shit regardless. You can gift it to people.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 77 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

same, but played the family version for my kids and it was so much fun.

the youngest one needs to practice reading, and that game was a few hours of her reading and laughing as hard as she could

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago

This brings a smile to my face

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, hell yeah. Thank you for this idea. I've been wanting a fun way to teach my son to read. Thank you.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

you have no idea how twisted/dark can kid's humour get

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

No no, I do. I have a very imaginative 5 yr old. He saw me play Helldivers once and wouldn't stop saying "sweet liberty my leg!" The looks I go in public.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago

They have many fine products on their all products page.

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

The "Don't talk to me until I've had my Clam-o-naise" mug is tempting me.

Buy the SFW version and gift it to a school or library.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

There are now tons of different expansions for CAH, like specific topic types and whatnot like sci-fi, nature, food, medicine.

We can make this the norm by boycotting greedy corporations

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah, stop being nice. TAKE it from them. If they won't pivot from a Trickle Down Economy to a Trickle Up Economy, then we should forcibly impose a Robin Hood Economy.

Small, independent, Mom & Pop businesses are hands off, but for all those big corps? Rob'em blind.

I may have gotten tired of the game but I never get tired of this company

[–] Ranulph@thelemmy.club 65 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

You can keep the money. I want my country back. I want the Epstein Trials, the rule of law and consequences for all administration officials, law enforcement and ICE agents.

I'm sorry, I thought this was Cards Against Humanity.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The cards might be against humanity, but that doesn't necessarily mean the company is.

I don't know anything about this game or company but this is the most based announcement I've ever seen

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 3 weeks ago

They are incredibly based. Game is pretty fun too.

Thank you for linking cause the FAQ is even better than the post.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 32 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

when the Trump Administration gives us our tariff refund

Who is expecting this to actually ever happen?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 3 weeks ago

EVERYBODY! They WILL give the money back, and we're going to FORCE them. The only reason they get away with this shit is because we allow it. We have the power, we have to exercise it.

This is such a reddit comment. If you don't enjoy it don't play it, but acting smugly superior to those that do just makes you look like an ass.

First of all, ow.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah, I can't stand the game, this bailed it, but I've always appreciated their stances, because I agree with them of course. But like you, when someone says hey let's play cards against humanity, I say let's not. I can make jokes about people's races and cancer without the cards, don't need everyone cramping my style.

[–] Eryn6844@piefed.blahaj.zone 25 points 3 weeks ago

the corporations we need.

[–] Redstone1@lemmings.world 25 points 3 weeks ago

brb going to buy more CAH cards

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well son of a bitch. A cooperation doing something morally correct.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not a corporation. They're not "incorporated" and are not publically traded (afaik).

They're a private company who are still able to do these kinds of things because they're not beholden to stockholders.

To me, companies like them aren't the problem. Corporations with stockholders are the problem.

The original announcement was on their Facebook page, and links to https://www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com/

Note that they didn't raise their own prices (they absorbed 100% of the tariffs on products they make), so if you bought directly from them or through their Amazon listing, you didn't overpay and don't need a refund. If you bought from a retailer like Wal-Mart or Target, they'll start by refunding people who have a receipt, and then if there is money left over they'll try to refund anyone else who thinks they overpaid.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

so they are actually giving back money they never charged anyone for? The money they are getting back is the money tarrif stole them no?

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This can't be a good financial decision for them, but holy shit is it based.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 weeks ago

They've always bragged about making bad financial decisions simply because the results of those decisions amused them.
