If you’re a fan of the beloved game Cards Against Humanity and find yourself navigating the wild world of parenting, we have some exciting news for you. A group of creative parents has taken the spirit of the original game and infused it with relatable humor for those of us raising little ones. Imagine having a fun and slightly mischievous activity to enjoy with your fellow mom friends over a glass of wine on a Friday night!
According to reports from the Daily Parent, creative duo Jake and Emily Harper wanted a game that resonated with their experiences as parents of three energetic kids. Thus, “Kiddo Chaos” was born—a game where you can play cards featuring sayings like “sippy cup spills” and “meltdown in aisle five” that perfectly capture the ups and downs of parenthood.
The Harpers shared that many of the cards were inspired by their own children’s antics. Jake explains, “Every parent loves their little ones, but let’s be honest—they can drive you bonkers! It’s these everyday adventures that inspire our cards.”
Amusing Cards to Encounter
Here are a few of the amusing cards you might encounter:
The humor is spot on and intentionally relatable, crafted through input from their community of fellow parents. Jake emphasizes, “Our goal is to take the everyday struggles of parenting and turn them into a reason for a little ‘mommy juice’!” And honestly, we all could use that excuse sometimes. He adds, “Parenting is a tough gig, and there’s no manual when you leave the hospital. Yet, everyone seems to have an opinion on how you should be doing things differently.”
For those who enjoy mixing things up, an exciting feature of this game is that it can be combined with existing Cards Against Humanity decks or even the game Apples to Apples. My partner and I often play CAH with friends who are also parents, and adding a parenting twist would be a welcome addition to our game nights. While I love playing the “awkward family photo” card, I can only imagine the laughter that would ensue when someone pulls “a tantrum in public.”
Parents definitely need more reasons to laugh, and this game provides the perfect excuse to pour a glass (or two) of wine and relax with friends who understand the chaos. Here’s hoping Jake and Emily’s Kickstarter campaign is a success so that we can all have a new go-to gift for baby showers this year. And if it doesn’t work out? We can always borrow our kids’ crayons and craft our own version!
