Cards Against Humanity hopes to stop construction of Trump’s border wall

PHOENIX — Everyone’s favorite party game, Cards Against Humanity, is looking to bring more than just laughs to the table this holiday season.

The Chicago-based company has offered users a holiday promotion that involves fans of the card game paying $15 for six surprise gift packages.

But the company has already revealed the first surprise: It’s going to use the money to buy land on the U.S.-Mexico border in an effort to block the construction of President Donald Trump’s border wall.

That’s right, the company behind the goofy, provocative and sometimes scandalous card game is funding an effort to block one of the president’s biggest campaign promises.

“Donald Trump is a preposterous golem who is afraid of Mexicans,” Cards Against Humanity said on its website. “He is so afraid that he wants to build a $20 billion wall that everyone knows will accomplish nothing.

“So we’ve purchased a plot of vacant land on the border and retained a law firm specializing in eminent domain to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for the wall to get built.”

The company will send those who have signed up for the Cards Against Humanity gift packages will receive an illustrated map of the land, a certificate, cards and other surprises on the first day of presents.

But for those who are still looking to get in on the surprise action, we have some bad news: The company sold out just hours after launching the program on Tuesday.

This is not the first time Cards Against Humanity has engaged in an unconventional stunt: Last year, the company raised more than $100,000 to dig a massive hole to nowhere.
