If you’re slumped at your desk right now nursing an afternoon coffee and wishing you had the balls to play hooky tomorrow, here's a reason to go on living: you can now play Cards Against Humanity online — for free.
The online version, cleverly called Cards Against Originality, can be played on a desktop, laptop, smartphone, and even a tablet. It’s also easy to set up: You just head to the website and start a new game. A link is generated that you then send to all your friends so they can waste time with you. You're all supposed to be in the same room, since the game calls for players to take turns judging and choosing which card wins the round, but c'mon, what else is Gchat good for? Here's an example of what the game looks like:
You can thank UX/UI designer Dawson Whitfield, who created the website, and if you feel especially grateful, you can donate money to help offset the costs of hosting the site (yeah, right). While you’re counting your blessings, you might as well thank the creators of Cards Against Humanity who run the game via a creative commons license so anyone can pull a Robin Thicke and "adapt" it.
While the San Francisco expansion pack isn’t available on the site, the other five expansion packs most definitely are. Here's to finding a new way to survive the post-lunch lull.
