Cards Against Humanity to give tariff refunds to buyers who ‘overpaid’

The offer only applies to customers who bought the company’s card sets from retailers. Read more at straitstimes.com.

CHICAGO – The company that sells the popular party game Cards Against Humanity said it will channel any tariff refunds back to its customers, whom it said “already overpaid for everything.” 

“America’s big retailers passed over 90 per cent of their tariff costs onto you, their customers, by marking everything up,” the Chicago-based game maker said in an online post.

“If you bought Cards Against Humanity stuff from them over the last year, you likely paid for those costs.”

The move is among the first signs that at least some consumers have a more direct – albeit minimal – stake in the legal and political fallout from the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs on Feb 20.

That ruling raises the question of whether hundreds of thousands of companies will receive refunds for the approximately US$170 billion (S$214.68 billion) they’ve paid since the levies were put in place in 2025. 

Cards Against Humanity, which posted about the offer on Feb 24, declined to say how much it has paid in tariffs or how much the retailers it works with have paid.
