Donald Trump has said a lot of bold words during his presidential campaign. That’s why agency Sid Lee Collective thought it would be a great idea to create Trump Against Humanity (an unofficial expansion to the popular game Cards Against Humanity).
Trump Against Humanity was presented as “a party game about a horrible person.” As one could suspect, it uses only the words and phrases that the President-elect Donald Trump said publicly. They include “Moving to Canada”, “Make _ great again”, “Yuuuge”, and other precious lines. “We were looking for quotes that lent themselves to the most offensive, absurd, combinations that captured the same twisted sense of humor in Cards Against Humanity,” Sid Lee’s executive creative director, Jeffrey De Silva explained to Mashable. “But Trump did most of the legwork for us, since he can’t seem to go long without saying something ridiculous.”
However, if you are willing to purchase this party game we have some bad news for you. For legal reasons, Sid Lee Collective isn’t able to sell their product anymore.

The game uses only the phrases that the President-elect Donald Trump has actually said
Market it as Trumplestiltskin, a very grim unfairy tale! :-/
Trumpelthinskin would be even better...
What "legal reasons" prohibit them from selling it "anymore"? Is it a trademark issue because they sell it under the Trump name? They could probably find a way around that.
Yeah! They could call it 'Rump' instead..
Or his real name 'Drumpf'.
Grump
I prefer "Princess Donna". Just as childish as the names he uses, and it reflects his spoiled brat personality.

Sure , they can call it Pi instead , and put your face on :))
The Dotard Against Humanity works pretty good.
Trademark and Copyright infringement of Cards Against Humanity. Nothing to do with Trump. These a-holessa-holestole someone else's idea and were trying to profit from it. No kidding they were shut down. They should have entered into a licensing agreement with them instead.
label it as parody humor. that's protected speech. Trump is now a public figure. His copyright claims are not what they used to be.
They should just change it to Drumpf.
If you pay attention to what you read you might notice that this isn't the official expansion which means the company that made this product isn't the one that makes CAH. Since they ripped off the idea, name and design, they should be fined for copyright infringement. They should've just sell the idea to the company and everyone would have been a winner. But now they can't make it and I don't think that CAH makers can do it either. So thanks a lot, Sid Lee Collective!
You're probably partially right. CAH has the game under a creative commons licence. So you can make whatever you want for free, but you need permission to sell a set. And they already have a Trump set, so they probably would shut this set down if the creators didn't get permission.
Well, according to their website, you can make your cards for just $10. Sounds like a bargain to me...
I'm going to assume it too closely resembles Cards Against Humanity, which is owned by Cards Against Humanity LLC. Unofficial expansions can't be confused for the official product.
You can't take someone else's idea (CAH's original game concept, design, etc.) and market it as your own. Even if your version is really, really funny.
Actually you can, because CAH is Open Source and promotes this kind of mod to the original game.
yup. They don;t like it... http://www.law360.com/articles/845842/cards-against-humanity-sues-over-knockoff-game
@Marc Actually, no you can't. Just because you can mod the game for personal use (open source), does not mean you can use the IP to create a competing product for sale.
Drumpf Against Humanity could work, that is unless he's trademarked "Drumpf" too
He couldn't have. John Oliver trademarked "Drumpf".
I'm sure John Oliver will be like FUCK YEAH LETS MY PHRASE IN THERE.
Capitalism giveth.....and taketh away
Confvefe against humanity would be just fine
The Sid Lee Collective should know there is a legal way around this and be able to bring this product to market. Simply advertise that for a " Donation to this entity*, you will receive this gift " Trump Against Humanity " the game. Since this agency is a " Collective" it could be made to that entity. Trump does this all the time with the so called charities he takes donations for and in turn puts it into his own funds or buys sports memorabilia or had portraits painted of himself with donation money meant for other things and he does it all of the time and gets away with it. If Trump tries to claim his name as a trademark which he wants money for using, remind him the word has been in use long before he was born and that is not the family's original last name, it was changed and therefore Donald himself could be in the same position for using the name Trump as he claims against others.
While I find many things that Trump has said and done very questionable, so do I find that making profit out of it. And that this game is supposedly "banned" is either a marketing trick or sign of very odd practices. If the creators would want to make a point, they could even provide the cards for free printout on the Web. No big deal.
Anyone know of where to get a set of these cards or the file for them?
I really really really want this one!
I don't care why it's gone I just WANT IT BACK. I'm trying to get through the next few years with a laugh mmmmmkay?
Funny story (but not funny): It looks like these were rebranded as "Humanity Hates Trump" and still the game is band, but the knuckle draggers can still buy "Humanity Hates Hillary" wherever they look. Imagine that. I would like to make it a personal mission to find the TAH or the HHT cards and I will compile them and give the info free to as many places as I can post it.
If the writer had bothered to report the legal reason, or link to it, we wouldn't have a gazillion people guessing at the legal reason and then arguing about each other's guesses. Not fun at all
screw legal. its not as if his big flipping mouth didn't say such ugly things.
How can this be banned?
He (or his people) probably pulled their regular "threaten to sue" tactic. Wish the company hadn't folded, although in this case, since it is a commercial product, I'm not sure what the law says about fair use, satire, etc...
Where can i buy this?
ok, so somebody who was lucky enough to buy them fast enough just has to post all the cards online so we can make it for ourselves.. :'(
Maybe they could make it available for free download....
Where can I buy this? I want it shipped for tomorrow please
What kind of crappy journalism is this? The last line raises more questions than it answers. Who owns the original game, and did they object to the spin off? The obvious implication is that Trump somehow put on the kibosh, but how does the legality of that work? This sounds more like a marketing ploy to create a buzz then they "manage" to make the product available just before Christmas. On a limited basis. Get yours while supplies last.
unfortunately, this does look like a pure smear campaign and yes, this does show trump's authoritarian tendencies
I hope it's not them already trying to disallow freedom of speech
What a misleading click bait, prove one word of your title, other than the word or perrson called Trump!
The actual CAH company is the legal reason. It has nothing to do with Trump, instead someone else was printing the same cards the CAH offered as their own product.
Has he tried to sue Top Trumps yet? Or maybe they will rebrand to Top Drumpfs?!?
Where can I PURCHASE!!!!
Because it's a total ripoff of "Cards Against...?" I've seen a lot of unauthorized expansions that people put online as PDFs for free. These guys were trying to make money off someone else's idea.
I don't understand why it was banned. Lol best game ever!
This game must have been created by a Democrat! I would never buy this game!
.....so don't buy it??
Truhmp
Can't sell it? Give it out for free
Can't sell it? Give it out for Free
They should call it Triump'h' Against Humanity then. :-)
Give it away free with the purchase of something else.
Gareth Edwards - If you actually read any of the article, CAH sued for counterfeit versions of their game. CAH is licensed under Creative Commons, and derivative works can be made, as long as they do not contain CAHs original works and states that they are not made by or affiliated with CAH.
T-rump is my name of choice

I'm curious about precisely why it can't be marketed, there are similar CAH games sold such as Crabs Against Humidity
Interesting idea, but not a funny game.
Anymore means someone has it and it is now worth some big bucks.
I mean, you can use all the blank cards from expansion packs and and the Bigger Blacker New Box Set and make your own, if you just use screen shots?
I would totally buy this! It's mean and funny but I like it, even though I'm not a Trump fan.
How about a game with all the lies your precious Hillary used?! I don't like Trump as a person and he certainly acts like school girl on tweeter but at least he's trying to fix our country and not play political games.
Would they have the balls to call it after Hilly in case she won? Because she's no better, really.
These are Trump's words so no.

Asshole, most of America voted for Trump because he was the best candidate for the job being offered. If things go bad then talk away. So will I but the man hasn't even taken office yet. Such sick shit. I take this as a direct attack on America and our people by those who continue to harass and otherwise impede the need for our people to calm down and get with the program. Like I said if he fails to do any good for a country that is on the brink of collapse which will surely take down the rest of the free world economically then bitch and moan but we need him to be successful. Look how high our Wall Street figures have been since he won. It's been breaking records day after day. Duh, isn't that smart to be successful? Thinking is a real issue with those who don't like Trump. That's a real shame because these people become the problem instead of part of the solution that all of our countries are need of!
" I take this as a direct attack on America and our people". Get a grip, seriously. Its a card game, not a freaking terrorist attack.

Bored Panda should be named Bored Libtard Propaganda instead. This is one of many jabs at Trump that I've seen on here over the past year yet you never display Obama's countless golfing or vacations. How about a card game of "If you like your Doctor you can keep you can keep your doctor" Or how we didn't "build that" or how we were Grubbered? Panda is just a Soros puff piece website like the Huff Post!
If you don't like the site don't read it. Plus, articles on here have been on other sites, too.
