Ten years later, it’s the flagship title for a multimillion-dollar game company.īut as the game has grown from a lark designed by a group of friends into a large and lucrative business, Cards Against Humanity employees have been speaking out about why it’s challenging to work for a company that made a game for “horrible people.” In the past few weeks, multiple former employees of Cards Against Humanity - the company and the game have the same name - have shared stories on social media and with Polygon about what they characterize as a racist and sexist company culture that disproportionately affected Black employees.

Cards Against Humanity is “a game for horrible people” - it says so right there on the box.
