Candlemas already. The hampers have been emptied; the cards have been taken down; the paper chains made patiently on Christmas Eve committed hara-kiri weeks ago. Meanwhile I have finally got to grips with a splendid gift kindly sent by the lovely people at the Catholic Mothers Apostolate.
“The Catholic Card Game” is a cleaned-up ecclesiological version of “Cards against Humanity”, with which some readers may be fam-iliar. Opening and closing phrases are randomly matched to create a sentence that is either nonsensical, humorous or perhaps inadvertently spot on. It is less ribald than the original version, which is probably best played long after Granny has gone to bed.
