Cards Against Holmanity

Those reprobates at Cards Against Humanity have kindly made their highly questionable card game available for free under a Creative Commons licence. And so, Sherlockian chums, behold Cards Against Holmanity, a canonically-themed deck for your amusement and scandalisation.

The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a black card, and everyone else answers with their funniest white card.

There are 300 question cards and 600 answer cards in the deck, each containing genuine quotes from the 60 stories. So there are quite a few possibilities, such as:

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, you can always test your knowledge of the canon by completing the black cards and guessing the context around the white cards.

On the other hand, if you’ve played the game before, well – you know what to expect! You can always go for a really scurrilous experience by mixing these cards with a regular Cards Against Humanity deck. 

Let me know what you come up with!

Enjoy!
