Equestrian Cards Against Humanity.

The party game for horrible people just got an equestrian twist.

How does one best describe the game Cards Against Humanity? It’s kind of like Apples to Apples, if all the apples were sour — the all-grown-up, totally irreverent, discomfort-inducing version of the family-friendly card game. Played in a group, individual players take turns acting as judge, drawing a black card and reading it aloud. Black cards are a question or a sentence with blanks. The other players then submit white cards out of their own playing hands; the white cards are nouns that answer the question or fill in the blank. The judge selects what he or she thinks truly completes the statement and that submitter wins the point.

Of course, we could play the game the other way around, too, and fill in our own black cards … completed by white cards already in the game:
