Review on 🃏 CAHUS: The Ultimate Cards Against Humanity Experience by Cards Against Humanity LLC by Francisco Russell

Recommended for ages 17+. I brought it to a family dinner, knowing that two kids, ages 11 and 14, would be going down to the basement after dinner to play on their computers. A precocious 14-year-old heard I had Cards Against Humanity and clarified that while he had never played or even seen the game, he knew enough about it to want to play if his parents gave him permission . They did and the fun followed, but better yet, it opened the channels for discussion about sex, politics, justice, racism, homophobia and everything that exists in society and when it's funny and when it's not. What made breakout shows like South Park and The Simpsons so funny was their seeming inconsequential, but they also touched on issues parents and kids should be talking about. At a time when information along with misinformation is available 24/7, this can be an opportunity for families who value open discussion, education, and critical thinking to open the door to those discussions. Parents have so much to teach and learn about their children, and to some extent vice versa. It's not for everyone, but this family found it fun and important. I wish there was a way for me to have these conversations with my parents or other responsible adults when I was a teenager and had to learn all I could from the 1957 Encyclopædia Britannica and Webster's Dictionary.
