I really like this idea, but I think it&#x27;s a shame they included Brainfuck. A deck of cards with programming snippets could be a great appropriate-for-all-settings way to promote interest in programming, but once you put Brainfuck on there (which aside from being crude is entirely impractical), the deck is only usable in certain circles. I can&#x27;t use it with my young kids. I can&#x27;t use it with more conservative friends.<p>It&#x27;s like you took one card from Cards Against Humanity and mixed it into your Apples to Apples set (the original, family-friendly game on which Cards Against Humanity was modeled). Suddenly, you can only play Apples to Apples in situations in which you could also play Cards Against Humanity.<p>There&#x27;s little to be gained from the inclusion of Brainfuck and a lot to be lost. If they wanted to include an esoteric language, there were plenty of others to pick from.
