Cards Against Humanity announces expansion pack based on sci-fi video game Mass Effect

Love-it-or-hate-it party game Cards Against Humanity is getting even bigger (and, presumably, blacker) with a new expansion inspired by sci-fi video game series Mass Effect.

Written in partnership with Mass Effect developer BioWare, the simply titled Mass Effect Pack adds 14 cards referencing the well-loved and – in the case of its third instalment – controversial series, which first emerged ten years ago and sees its latest release, Mass Effect: Andromeda, hit shelves next month.

Yes, that means you can expect plenty of jokes about trying to flirt and procreate with the games’ fan-favourite cast of alien romantic interests. Even the add-on’s packaging refers to the series’ penchant for intergalactic ardour, showing original hero Commander Shepard (in his male varation) and Normandy crew member Kaidan Alenko kissing when closed.

The pack is $1 (80p) - but be aware that if you’re in the UK you’ll have to add an extra $4 (£3) for postage.

As an amusing side effect, the expansion’s very NSFW website address has even ended up blocking interested employees from Mass Effect publisher EA.

Best part of this whole project is EA employees getting blocked from https://t.co/kVUf2CU5Hd because it redirects to https://t.co/xNVP4njrwC https://t.co/av1PN6Xguq
