In summary, "Cards Against Humanity" is a popular game that was "kickstarted" and is similar to "Apples to Apples" but for twisted minds. The goal is to select the most twisted possible answer to the question from the cards you hold. It includes cards with perverse and dark humor and is best played among friends with a few drinks. Examples of the game can be found on the internet.

It's a decent game among friends, especially those with dark humor/perverse humor. I like it well enough, especially with friends and a few drinks.

I read the wiki link but it didn't explain anything about the games 'twisted' side. I take it the goal is to select the most twisted possible answer to the question from the cards you hold?

A game with the best toilet humour being the goal.

Drinks definitely not optional.
