Yup. You read that right.
The Oatmeal has a card game. And it's friggin huge. Raised 1 million in 7 hours or so...

Basically this is a party game ala Cards Against Humanity. You can explain the gameplay in about six sentences (awesome for a party game) and play it while drunk (doubly awesome for a party game).
Thing is, you can only see the 'Weaponized Back Hair' card so many times before it has the same impact as the six of spades. CAH has the same problem unless you create your own cards (which, being writers, I would hope we all do).
I look forward to seeing how far this thing goes. It certainly looks like a hoot the first few times you play it, and for $35 (the NSFW edition), one doesn't need too many hours of entertainment to let it pay for itself.
