I've played this game many times over the years, but never had my own copy.
I bought the UK Edition before Xmas to play at some get togethers but it was nowhere near as offensive or rude as I remember. And all who'd played it before felt the same. You'd sit there with a hand full of lame cards that would barely raise a chuckle or ever be useful as an answer, never mind a 'OMG I can't play that!' moment.
Just wondered if the UK edition had been censored?
I honestly think that we have got so much more used to offensive stuff.
Cards against humanity has just lost the edge

Part that, partially you probably overhyped the "new" UK version up to yourself.
As a game it was only really fun the first few times I played it, after that the fits of giggles and being unable to read the cards out loud passes. And other than correcting a handful of cards that got lost in translation over the Atlantic the UK version was pretty much the same.
Try the Disney edition.
Its all purile humour, but getting my mother in law to read out naughty words still satisfies my inner childishness 😁
I played a version, not sure which, a few times. Once you get over the rude words and watching other peoples awkwardness there didn't seem much left to the game. Fun but only for a short time. I am guessing the various different editions are just trying to rehash the same formula with slight regional variations
Last played it at a friend's "stag do" biking trip several years ago.
I did particularly well.
I've yet to work out if I just got lucky cards, or if I have a natural talent for being offensive
I will never get over 'Jade Goodey's cancerous remains'
😬😬😬
Don't know anything about it, but guess it's similar to Gutterhead ? My sister in law just sat there on Christmas Day ~(sober not having had drank as she was driving) just shouting out all the 'rude' cards and not playing it.
Don’t know anything about it
It's Apples vs Apples only rude, if that helps.
It lives or dies by the group, really. I've played it where everyone is in bits laughing, and when the entire table has been "that's not funny." I think it's mostly past its sell-by date these days, the target audience is probably 15-year old boys who think they're edgy.

That's the one that stuck in my head, and seeing as that has to be a UK version as yanks aren't going to know who the hell she is, I think we can safely say that at one time the UK version was certainly not tame!
It's actually ages since I've played the adult version, but have been enjoying Kids Against Maturity a lot with the kids over the last few months.

Dunno, I was in my 30's when I first played it and the whole group was curled up in hysterics.
It's the opposite of edgy. It's satirically taking the piss out of the type of person who tries to be edgy. You know the type, that one relative/workplace bore that insists on stirring controversy by missgendering/deadanaming, using the "wrong" word for races or sexualities, complains about the gender neutral toilet sign despite the fact there have never been two toilets in the office etc. Just so they can say PC has gone mad and everyone else is being too woke. It's funny because it both steels their thunder by being far less PC then them, and forces them to say "Harry Potter and the Gay Agenda" when they probably just had a rant about how films these days are all woke.

And this, you need just the right level of in-laws, family members or work colleagues that it becomes funny just imagining them having to read it out loud, without them being so prudish they don't find it funny.

Same (though probably 40s). I think the novelty wears off quite quickly though.
Chatting W my son this morning we reckon they used cards against humanity for scripting at least a couple of scenes in Saltburn
Bought and played the family version ovet Christmas and that's pretty funny, but yeah it can wear thin. Same with "What do you meme?" - played the adult version with purile nephew and my mum, it was just uncomfortable. "What's nutting?". Oh god no.
