It turns out cult card game Cards Against Humanity is the ideal accompaniment to the government’s EU leaflets. Who knew?

Even if you are yet to receive the government’s pro-EU leaflet, you’ve probably heard about it. But have you noticed how well it fits with the popular board game Cards Against Humanity?

The EU and a game known for its political incorrectness don’t seem like the most likely bedfellows – yet the minute a leaflet arrived at software engineer Jenny Owen’s home, the partnership seemed perfect.

For the uninitiated, this is how the game works: it’s essentially a fill-in-the-blanks game where players pick the funniest – and usually, in practice, the rudest – answer to win a round.

She told the Guardian: “The EU leaflet just looked so much like Cards Against Humanity. Like, the font, the layout, general design. Each page had these big statements on the top, like a CAH answer card.

“I thought it would be fun to play at matching the government’s statements up with the CAH prompts.”

The result?

“During sex I like to think about ... the benefits of EU membership.”

“A stronger economy ... that’s why mums go to Iceland.”

“What happens if we leave? MechaHitler.”

Owen told us she’s actually very pro-EU, the whole exercise was just for a bit of fun.

She said: “I work with a lot of non-UK European people. I feel strongly that we should stay in the EU, so I don’t disagree with the content of the leaflet. I like that they were using (admittedly uncited) facts and numbers to convince me.

“I had a leave.EU letter which was just emotive language and broad generalising statements.”

So there we have it. If you were wondering what to do with your pro-EU leaflet, you can now add it to your Cards Against Humanity set.
