Zapler Games Cads About Matrimony

This is sold as a stand-alone game, and it's quite hilarious that way. However, it only gets better when you combine it with Cards Against Humanity and the various expansions sets for that. Yes, these are shades of blue, but that shouldn't detract from the fun, especially if you're just playing this on its own.As you probably have already guessed, the cards here are all themed around weddings, and the humor can get pretty raunchy at times. We've played with these cards a few times now, both alone, and with other decks, and had some of the best games ever with them. You don't have to limit playing these to just weddings; they're great any time, and some of the topics are relatable to just about everyone.And that's where a lot of the real humor comes from, the cards that everyone can relate to in one way or another. There are no wildly fantastical cards in here; no David Bowie flying on a tiger made of lightning, no snorting coke off a clown's boner, or anything else that outlandish. These are down to earth topics that nearly everyone has at least had a near miss with; the good, the bad, and the awkwardly embarrassing. Goodies like “Knowing way too much about each other’s bathroom habits.”, “Getting tired of being on top.”, “A lifetime of judgmental glances from your in-laws.”, or “Your dad showing up drunk. Like always.”. 'Black' cards include gems like “________ doesn't count as cheating.”, “The only thing worse than ________ at a wedding is ________.”, and “What will the groom think of when he first sees the bride on their wedding day?” There's a lot of wrong stuff in here that's all just so right.The box is pretty much identical to the box that Cards Against Humanity comes in, but smaller and more colorful. The cards are the same card stock and size (though they're smoother), so they mix in well with that game as well. Plus, the logo is pure genius.This is slightly larger than half the size of the original Cards Against Humanity game; there are 55 'black' cards and 230 'white' cards, which will take a few hours to get through;. Normally with that high a percentage of black cards, you'll run out of white cards quite fast. Fortunately, only three of the cards in this set have two blanks, so the white cards will last a bit longer. Mix these with another deck and it'll take a long time to run out of cards.Yes, these are blue, but they still work with CAH; we haven't had any issues with the different colors, as long as the card czar doesn't see who put down the colorful cards. Yes, this is designed as a stand alone game, but when mixed with CAH and the various expansions, you're in for a real treat.I hope Zapler comes out with their own expansions for this soon.

Was hoping for more inappropriate cards than were included - we'll not be mixing them in with our 7+ deck set of Cards/Crabs/Crime/etc. sets. It is not possible to offend our group - the raunchier the better - so long as it's funny. Would be infinitely better than those crappy bridal shower games my wife has told me about. Couple with the appropriate amounts of alcohol, the cards will spark plenty of advice about husband management from the veterans. Bride might skip the wedding though...

I have the Cards Against Humanity game and purchased this game to use at a friends Bachelorette party. We had fun but the cards are not as insane as Cards Against Humanity needless to say there is no "Pac Man Uncontrollably Guzzling Cum" Card but it does come with some blank cards which we had fun with. :) If I use this card pack again I would try to use some of the Humanity cards with it but totally worth every penny

This came is a spin-off of the ever popular card game "Cards Against Humanity" coming from the original "Apples to Apples." My wife played this game at a bachelorette party and raved about how fun it was. We bought it and have played many times with our friends. The game is played just like apples to apples except that the game is based upon marriage. The cards (or "Cads" as the game calls them) have various phrases, funny, sad, and inappropriate alike, that players throw in to the middle hoping the person choosing will select. This game is recommended for anyone over the age of 18 due to the sexual and adult nature of some of the cards (Although my wife and I along with our friends had to look up the definition of some of the cards; see for instance "Rusty Trombone." Look up the definition to that one only, no pictures!). Overall, I would recommend playing this game with a group of friends or family members who can handle course joking and language. It is fun and creates a barrel of laughs for everyone involved, highly recommended!

Decent idea and theme for a CAH deck. Decent quality finish, and grade of card stock so they feel right. But the deck itself is *mehs*. In certain situations, some of the more obscure cards can be quite funny, but I'd wager 75% of the cards are throw aways. Re-gifting mine for an upcoming nuptial where it may be better appreciated.

I bought this game to play with the two Cards Against Humanity expansion packs I already owned. The players I played with found these cards to be a little too tame for them and I frequently saw people grabbing the CAH cards instead. Personally I liked these cards and I think if combined with the CAH set, the are a fun addition.

I bought these even though I was initially skeptical of how good it could be. It's actually pretty awesome; about as awesome as the original Cards Against Humanity. It's very wedding-themed without being overly sappy or cheesy for the most part. My friends and I very much enjoyed it. The only thing I think is odd is it's called Cads (not CaRds) about matrimony. At first I thought it was an error but nope, it's all over the packaging and website. I don't know if that's a copyright work-around or what but it's just a humorous thing I didn't even notice until I got them.

Hilarious. June this year saw 3 weddings, all three either my boyfriend or I was in. I made sure to bring these along on our trek and dammit were they a crowd pleaser. I do wish there were more cards because it went way too fast. It's about the same size as a Cards Against Humanity expansion pack.
