A card game described as "a party game for horrible people" is now available for free, as Cards Against Humanity announced that it's available to play for free through the online website.
The game will be available free of charge throughout the duration of the self-isolation period brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The online version of the game functions similarly to the game played with physical cards. Players can log into the game through a link, which can accommodate up to five players. From there, individuals can draw cards and submit answers virtually, helping to pass the time while adhering to the self-isolation or quarantine guidelines.
