Hold onto your Furbys and hamburger phones, folks: Cards Against Humanity has launched a 90s Nostalgia Pack, and it is truly all that and a bag of chips. If you thought your Tamagotchi was neglected before, he’s done for now.
The original Cards Against Humanity is obviously hella fun, but those cards can get a little too real. The Nostalgia pack lets you take a break and throw it back to simpler times — you know, times when the president was only involved in one scandal.

And he should know — Spielberg directed, wrote or produced Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins, E.T., Poltergeist, The Goonies and more in the 1980s.
