Behold the launch of the one and only Cards Against Anarchy, created by an anarchist, for anarchists. Laughter is, after all, the best medicine, and it is free.
Running a local group where we play Cards Against Humanity and other "horrible" games, I experience greatest enjoyment when coming up with custom cards as it helps keep up with current events and actually helps share knowledge within a group, all while having fun.
Needless to say, something always falls short as I do not know too many people around me that think like I do, and whenever I venture outside the "mainstream," it ends up being over people's heads. Therefore, in the interest of spreading awareness about anarchism and happenings in the cryptosphere, I will be gradually developing a deck in the spirit of the original game but with concepts and characters that are relevant to us anarchists if not mainstream at this time. If ever we meet (like maybe at Anarchapulco?) we may play with my deck. Naturally I would love to have some random person pick up the contents of these cards to add to their deck at some point.
There has also been a Libertarians Against Humanity for a while now. I am just taking it a step further.
In fact, there has even been a "Cards Against Anarchy" event someone has come up with before, but we are not related.
If you are not familiar with the game, I recommend the couple of videos below to get an idea. If you have further questions about the original game, just Google. What, you need spoon-feeding, too?

As my deck keeps getting developed, the number of possible combinations of "black" and "white" cards increases. And hopefully the fun factor does so as well, exponentially.
Of course I don't have to tell you that you are free to adopt anything and everything you see here. I will be keeping the deck "Steeming fresh" and you might get a whiff of my sense of humour. Suggestions are also welcome. I will be taking jabs at people, concepts, and quirks. If you are high-profile in the anarchist community, expect to be featured on my cards. There will even be self-depracation!
This is an unauthorized, unlicenced, and unofficial expansion deck for Cards Against Humanity.
I hope you enjoy the cards as much I as I do developing them. And of course if you really appreciate my compilation, you know what to do. <wink wink>
Without further ado, I provide below my starter batch of cards.
In the beginning, there was...
Nothing? (Thinking of Tim Curry as Darkness in Legend.)
All things anarchy...
Come to think of it, in the beginning there was anarchy without adjectives. Before capitalism and communism, and everything within and without.
What helps an anarchist unwind?
All work and no play makes for cranky anarchists. So, maybe Cards Against Humanity to the rescue? Or how about the revolution in Rojava, which is currently being bombed by Turkey? Or how about scribbling "Taxation is theft" on bills and willy-nilly? And of course Jeffrey Tucker's bowtie always puts a smile on my face.
There's a dApp for that!
Ah, as the world decentralizes...
What is forever?
Diamonds? The Blockchain?
Anarcho-insomniacs
We've all been there.
Because...
Roads. Or central banking. Or your dyslexic friend taking on Satanists and being in denial about it.
Crypto problems
Your cryptocurrency wallets may be what you need to keep your wealth safe from the crummy grubby grabby fingers of some self-righteous, self-appointed twits.
More things virtual
And yes, you have seen that logo on the bottom right before. It really is twice as bad-arse. "Stasibook" is naturally my homage to Jacob Appelbaum.
Love and laughs,
C.A.A.*
