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
Several of the commenters here are missing the point. Cards Against Humanity has had an anti-black friday "gimmick" for at least one or two years now, and this is keeping with that tradition. One of their black friday sales was to raise the price of the game. Next year, they'll have a different gimmick.
You've explained it completely, yet I still don't see the point from the customer's perspective. "Haha I just gave a company $5 for nothing!" .. What?
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 definitely are selling off of their fame (or notoriety) here. I could go out to the main street today and say "Hi all! I'm selling nothing for $5!" and I'd get nothing because I'm not Cards Against Humanity. They must be living the Millenialist dream, get money for literally (not figuratively at all) doing nothing but asking for it.

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?

Probably not any different than just donating to a GoFundMe fundraiser. It's not actually a deductible charitable donation, and you're receiving nothing in return.
I believe that crowdfunding platforms solved exactly the legal issue behind that. I have no idea about the details but I imagine that 1. they take care about taxes and similar, and 2. someone you're donating money in exchange of being part of the cause, whatever this legally means. What I'm asking is specifically related to the term "nothing", which (I think) can only have a single interpretation.

I find pleasure in mocking consumerism.
