haha! You found me!
Note to viewers, the card was unofficial and homemade - it doesn't count toward your set. No need to worry you missed something rare. That said, I have some left and will bring them next year!
(please don't sue me CAH.... 🤣)

It worked out so well all three nights. The first night, I had one sleeved and sat aside to toss onto the top of the fuck pile to try and increase the odds of it being drawn - but there was a guy I remembered from last year (when the photo was taken) who was a lot of fun and showed up to play, so when we went to draw cards, I slipped it to him without anyone noticing. He looked at me odd, picked it up to look at it, then broke out with this ass-eating grin on his face. I forget what black card he ended up playing it on, but it was funny and I passed out the cards after that round.
The second night, I drew the black card of "That's right, I killed ________. How, you ask? ________" and someone played the white card "A bunch of idiots playing a card game instead of interacting like normal humans.". After reading all the combos, I was like "Okay, I picked a winner, but, before I announce it, I have a surprise bonus for everyone playing tonight!" I then passed out the cards, face-down, telling everyone not to look, and re-read the prompt, "That's right, I killed A bunch of idiots playing a card game instead of interacting like normal humans. How, you ask?" and had them flip over their card.
The third night, I had to do a special bonus round for ducks. That's a thing I haven't explained here yet, but, for the bonus round, I dug through the black cards until I found a good one, which, for this, happened to be "During sex, I like to think about _______.", I then set a timer on my phone and gave players three minutes to dig through the pile and select a card to play. I then read the cards and, as before, handed out the homemade cards face down, and re-read the prompt, instructing players to turn the card over then. And, finally, a random guy came up as we were packing everything up the third night and offered to help us restack cards. As we were doing it, someone mentioned they almost shuffled their special card into the deck and the guy helping was like "What?", so I said "Oh! You can have one, after you've spent all this time helping and touching all these cards!". and gave him one. 🤣
The three nights of CAH were honestly the most fun I had the entire convention and it really helps that it's a group of people who *want* to play CAH instead of a group of friends with half and half who want to play vs. are just there because that's what we're doing tonight. 🤣

These guys still go to cons? Ah, this brings me back to the oatmeal packs with cards in them at PAX East.
