I hate CAH with a burning passion because I used to play with these people who would pass up my very fun and interesting offerings on game night in favor of playing this for hours until we all hated eachother and made an excuse to leave. Half of them didnt get the refrences to authors or politicians and it was agonizing to see plays get thrown out because someone didnt know who Toni Morrison was.
If you like the idea of CAH as this irreverent humorous card game but hate CAH for what it is, you might like Trial By Trolley. Trial By Trolley is based off of "The Trolley Problem" moral thought experiment. As two teams you put "good" cards (puppies, babies, cancer research labs, ect) on your track, "bad" cards (hitler, serial killers, the guy who invented pop up ads) on your opponents track, and then present arguments to the conductor who then chooses which track to go down. You win if they choose the track that isn't yours. It's pretty straightforward and encourages a lot more engagement and interaction than CAH ever did. The only downsides are that you need to decide on a time limit for the arguing phase (the creators did not set one iirc) and some of the cards can be kinda cringe, but overall I'm satisifed with it as a CAH replacement.
