Isn't this either very border line or even illegal in the US (genuinely asking)? - I thought every contract between 2 parties required an exchange of something, so money can't be traded for nothing, but maybe I'm wrong. Edit: getting downvoted, not sure why, explanation would be helpful

There is no contract—it's a gift.[1] That probably also means it's not income and will be tax-free.[2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift_(law) [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift_tax_in_the_United_States

Cards against Humanity has great marketing team, but I'm still pretty sure people are buying in because they think there's a chance they're getting something still. There was that time recently that cards against humanity sold a box of literal bull shit, and then people were disappointed when they got just literal bull shit.

They don't ask for your address, there's no way they'll get anything.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It just means the buyers could easily get a refund. It's not illegal. Similarly, technically minors can't enter into commercial contracts except for life necessities. So if an <18 buys a car, they could return it whenever they want. Whether they'd have to pay something for its use/damage is debatable.

>So if an Can you go more into detail on that or tell me what law says that? Does that mean I (17/US) could walk into Walmart, buy a shirt, wear it for 6 months and expect a full refund?

In Buddhism, nothingness or emptiness is actually a "thing".
