Humanity Hates Trump Company Sues Cards Against Humanity

Editor's note: We previously ran this story. Here it is again in case you missed it.

TRUMBULL, CT- Trumbull-based SCS Direct Inc. is bringing legal action against Cards Against Humanity LLC after a disagreement over SCS's Humanity Hates Trump game.

Humanity Hates Trump is an unaffiliated Cards Against Humanity expansion pack.

SCS Direct claims that Cards Against Humanity contacted SCS owner Howard Greenspan and asked for changes, which Greenspan made except for changing the cards to something other than black and white. The lawsuit states that other non-official expansion packs are styled in black and white.

A complaint was made to Kickstarter over Greenspan's funding campaign and the campaign was removed, which resulted in a loss of revenue and blocked SCS Direct from fulfilling pre-launch product sales, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges violation of Connecticut’s Unfair Trade Practices Act and seeks punitive and compensatory damages.

“I am shocked that a large, successful company such as Cards Against Humanity, would be threatened by a small Kickstarter campaign such as ours,” Greenspan said. “Claiming rights to the colors black and white is absurd. It’s evident they view Humanity Hates Trump as competition, and the fact that they caused Kickstarter to pull our campaign is clearly an unfair trade practice.”

Greenspan said he hopes for a quick resolution to the case and to fulfill pre-orders in the near future.

Cards Against Humanity couldn't be reached for comment.
