"Why? Because, produced in this form, "Cards Against Humanity Explains the Joke" is not a game at all, which would be subject to tariffs as the cards are produced overseas. Instead, the product is "information material" and thus not sanctionable under the law Trump has been using-and CAH says it has obtained a ruling to this effect from Customs and Border Patrol."
""What if DHS Secretary and Dog Murderer Kristi Noem gets mad and decides that Cards Against Humanity Explains the Joke is not informational material?" the company asks in an FAQ about the new edition. (If you don't follow US politics, Noem really did kill her dog Cricket.) Answer: "She can fuck right off, because we got a binding ruling from Trump's own government that confirms this product is informational and 100% exempt from his stupid tariffs.""
Cards Against Humanity released a limited edition called Cards Against Humanity Explains the Joke that omits gameplay instructions and instead provides detailed explanations of each joke, why it's funny, and any relevant social, political, or historical context. The product was structured as informational material to avoid US tariffs that apply to games produced overseas. Customs and Border Patrol reportedly issued a ruling confirming the product's informational classification. Pre-orders cost $25, end on October 15, and the edition will allegedly never be reprinted. All profits will be donated to the American Library Association to fight censorship.
