Tonights Steemit Gamer Night will be Friday November 4th, 7pm - 10pm CST (maybe go longer depending how things go) and will be playing Cards Against Humanity, which is completely free to play and no download is required...so no excuses on the cost!
We will be on our own created table on this site: https://pyx-2.pretendyoure.xyz/zy/game.jsp (Click here to join the table and the password is steemit)and in the Gamer/STP discord which you can join by clicking: https://discord.gg/hpdRh
You can also place your bets (through upvotes) on who you think will win on this post. The betting will be based off which signed up Steemit User will get the most TOTAL points across all the Cards Against Humanity games that we play (since there may be multiple.)
Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people. Unlike most of the party games you've played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends.

We'll adapt to how many people are there and skill levels, to make sure this stays fun and try to limit 'sitting out' time.
This is Going to Be a Blast!
Each week we'll change up what game we play. Feel free to make recommendations. We just want to make sure either enough people have the game or that it's free to download/play.
