The creators of the beloved party game “Cards Against Humanity” are showcasing their commitment to their customers by offering refunds for the extra costs incurred due to the tariffs imposed during U.S. President Trump’s administration. This generous gesture comes after a recent Supreme Court ruling deemed these tariffs “obviously illegal.”
In a delightfully cheeky announcement on their website, the founders invite anyone who has paid more for their game due to these tariffs to fill out a simple form, provided they can prove their purchase. They promise to return 100% of the funds to customers once they receive their own refund related to the tariffs.
Since launching as a Kickstarter project in 2011, “Cards Against Humanity” has taken the gaming world by storm with its unique blend of taboo, humorous, and outrageous content. With annual revenues estimated between $40-$50 million, the company has not shied away from engaging in political discussions, especially regarding the tariff situation.
A new webpage on their site makes light of the situation, stating, “In a rare example of the American government still kind of functioning, the Supreme Court has finally declared—after waiting a year for no reason—that Donald Trump’s obviously illegal tariffs are obviously illegal.”
The company emphasizes that they did not increase their prices in response to the tariffs, but they recognize that large retailers likely did, leading to overpayments by customers. They are eager to rectify this situation and support their loyal fans.
This isn’t the first time the playful creators have taken action on behalf of their customers. Last October, they introduced a special edition titled “Cards Against Humanity Explains the Joke,” which provided explanations for the cards’ content, cleverly sidestepping the tariffs by classifying it as an informational product.
American businesses are currently pursuing around $200 billion in tariff refunds, and FedEx has already announced a program to reimburse customers who overpaid. It’s a hopeful sign that more companies may follow suit in supporting their customers amidst these challenges.
