Transpo-themed ‘Cards Against Humanity’ parody wonks have been waiting for
If bike puns, Metro jabs and Bridgeghazi jokes are your speed, then an unofficial spin-off of the hit game “Cards Against Humanity” may be the party game for you.
{mosads}Members of Young Professionals in Transportation partnered with GreaterPlaces to launch a transportation-themed edition of “Cards Against Urbanity.”
The game, first described by The Washington Post, is a parody of “Cards Against Humanity,” a popular game where players complete fill-in-the-blank statements using cards printed with humorous, risqué or politically incorrect phrases.

The spoof retains the tongue-in-cheek nature of the original game, but is designed to teach participants about urban planning.
The latest expansion pack is geared toward infrastructure policy wonks. The 475-card pack pokes fun at various debates and issues in the transportation world, with phrases such as:
-“Actually believing bikeshare is a Marxist plot’”
-“Spending $300 million to save 3 seconds of time”
-“Cities that are still paying for an NFL stadium after the team has moved”
-“Highways that look like Soviet bread lines”
-“Bike lives matter”
-“Referring to automobile collisions as ‘accidents’”
The transportation version goes on sale nationwide this week for $39.99 and will begin shipping in late August.
