  Those are blue, these are black. They also have a different name. Finally, it appears that the content of at least some of the cards is entirely different between the two games. (I cannot say to what extent because I've only seen the sample of cards that are on the websites.)

  Yes "Cards Against Silicon Valley" comes across like a "me too" marketing opportunity. Can anyone speak to the quality? fwiw I think everything about the Disrupt Cards website, visual identity, and content is as thoughtful as a parody card game can be. I'd buy a set again.

    Love the HN cynicism. This was a fun side project out of our hack day last September. Folks on our team enjoyed the game so we printed it up and sent out to some of our friends, clients, etc for free. The reaction has been great but this is not a biz for us. We're a software company (CB Insights). We're not charging for it and will be making the cards available shortly for folks to download since there's been a lot of interest (and the game can't be bought) It was obviously inspired by Cards Against Humanity.

    I think the cards on this project's homepage are funnier. Even if we're only shown four of them.

Looks like a PH candidate for sure.

Passive aggressive tweetstorms? I wonder how many "pump and dump" schemes one could find with machine learning and the Twitter corpus?
