Is Cards Against Humanity still worth buying, or is it played out?

Reviewers are genuinely split. Verified-purchase ratings remain very high and specialist subreddits acknowledge it as a reliable crowd-pleaser, but high-trust community threads (notably r/boardgames) repeatedly call it shallow, repetitive after a few plays, and overrated versus modern party games. If you already own it, an expansion like the Absurd Box or Hot Box is the more frequently recommended purchase than buying the base game new.
