(KGTV) - The minds behind the racy card game known for their unorthodox holiday promotions have returned with yet another odd proposal.

And one that may strike at the heart of Washington D.C.

Card Against Humanity wrote online they have purchased a plot of land along the United States-Mexico border in an effort to stall President Donald Trump's planned border wall.

"So we’ve purchased a plot of vacant land on the border and retained a law firm specializing in eminent domain to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for the wall to get built," the company's website reads.

The company doesn't provide any actual proof they have purchased the land, but promised those who sign up for the $15 promotion a map of the parcel of land, new cards, and "a few other surprises."

The game makers warned though, "it will be fun, it will be weird, and if you voted for Trump, you might want to sit this one out."

The company has built a cult following around its out-of-the-ordinary holiday promotions.

Last year the company ran a Black Friday promotion to dig a hole as deep as possible. The reason?

"You’re supposed to think it’s funny. You might not get it for a while, but some time next year you’ll chuckle quietly to yourself and remember all this business about the hole," the company wrote.

Previous iterations of the promotion have also included paying $5 for absolutely nothing in return.

Eight border wall prototypes were completed in Otay Mesa last month. The federal government has about two months from their completion to evaluate the prototypes.
