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.

Streemed Live for Your Enjoyment!

This is a web browser based game so this should easily work for Windows, Apple or Linux users! We will be using a FREE clone of the game located at:
https://pyx-2.pretendyoure.xyz/zy/game.jsp

There is no download needed! I'll be making a table named steemit with the password of steemit for us to use and we'll be talking using the Gamer Room in Steemit Talk Podcast Discord.

This will be a SteemIt eSports betting event!

These upvote "betting" posts will pop up the night before SteemIt Game Night. Anyone who signs up below can be bet on in the Thursday betting post on @thegame's account. The winner will be determined by whoever scores the most TOTAL points across however many games we play that night.

Steem generated from the Thursday evening post (by @thegame) will be distributed among the winning upvoters. If you sign up below, you are encouraged, but not required, to streem your games! No one is required to sign up to play, but doing so does help us know how many people are expected. This makes team formation much easier. So, if you sign up, you'll get priority over those who didn't in the case of uneven teams and the like.

I hope you'll join us on Friday night. It's all in friendly fun. All bets are through upvotes, so there's no pressure. You can voice chat with us on SteemIt Talk Podcast's Discord server.

For next weekend I'm thinking of either playing Infinite Black which is a free, LINUX supported space battle/adventure MMO or Atlas Reactor which is a turn based PVP strategy game but is only supported on Windows. Feel free to comment on preferences. We've also been debating on trying a game night on Sunday instead of Friday.

Some other upcoming/discussed games:
Path of Exile
Warzone 2100
Grand Theft Auto 5
Team Fortress 2
