Talk:All Your Base deck

Archived comments from the original site

Perhaps bit on the slapdash side, but an entertaining ten-minute-killer, triply so for anyone with any affection for the meme in question. --Kevan, 16.2.02

Deck updated to allow any number of Actions per turn (further playtesting showed it was proving too easy to sabotage near-wins), and to make it clearer just how two-edged "Take Off Every Zig" can be. --Kevan, 16.4.02

Suggestion: "You know what you doing." Draw two cards, then discard two cards. --Adam, 16.5.02

Zero Wing is stupid you shouldn't be wasting you time on this shit you should be doing something more productive like visiting my website [url deleted by admin, predictably]. --Regent Worf, 1.6.02

• Sigh* My cousin is a loser. I like this deck! --Pi, 1.6.02

what the hell is the point in this piece of shit?? more fun had watching pant dry --slayer, 17.6.02

It's a card game. It's a game that you play with cards. Some people find entertainment in this, even if you yourself prefer to stare at your own, wet pants. --Populi, 17.6.02

Hehehe... justice is done. --Kazz, 19.6.02

I love memes. And this meme owns. And this game owns. And I like it. And it's good. Did I mention I like it? Wet pants are fun. Especially if they aren't yours. I like this game. And I like it. Goodbye! --Nev the Deranged Virulent Memetic Geurrilla Warrior of Doom, 30.6.02

It's a great concept (and I love the fact that it uses pics ;) ), but I personnaly prefer a bit more complexity... Perhaps adding other Zero-Wing elements? other then the intro that is. --Red Dragoon, 3.7.02

[Update] Replaced one of the All Your Base cards with a "You Know What You Doing" - cheers Adam. Have made it a "dig a card out of the draw pile" action, so that it doubles as a spare AYB or an AYB-killer, depending on the situation. --Kevan, 16.7.02

i wasnt to iterested in it. --???, 25.7.02

How are you gentlemen !! All your base are belong to us. You are on the way to destruction. You have no chance to survive make your time. HA HA HA HA .... --Cats, 23.9.02

Top stuff; the Sunday Times calls it "a game design of such staggering consequence and brilliance that it blanches all others into puny and forgettable insignificance.” I thought, in my most humble opinion, that it looked QuiteGood™. --Si, 23.9.02

Move 'zig'. For great justice. --CAPTAIN, 5.10.02

Somebody set up us the bomb . --Mechanic, 26.11.02

Beautiful! Now, all we need is a "What you say!" card! (perhaps an un-doer or something like that?) --megabyte, 28.11.02

prehaps "What you say!" could be a counter (Like in Magic the Gathering) stopping whatever action was about to happen; or it could reverse the action! --Krang, 31.1.03

There need to be more doubles. Specifically, there need to be at least two 'Take off every zig"s because these are the cards that really make Zigs matter (otherwise they jsut sit there lookin perdy) and there need to be more "Somebody set up us the bomb"s because these move the game along and would get a nice warfare going if they were draw more often. I also thought that "You have no chance to survive" could be doubled as it is the only card other than "Take off every zig" that gives Zigs value. --Nick, 6.2.03

Yes! All your base are belong to us.It rules! It'll be popular in Jpn. --Tkaaki.T, 16.2.03

Also, it's missing a 'What Happen?' card.... any ideas? --Glutnix, 4.4.03

We get signal!! --Operator, 9.4.03

What Happen?: Action- Play the top card of the discard pile as if it was in your hand. Sound good? --Kistaro (formerly known as Adam), 25.4.03

u should make more cards that do things w/ zigs. --wolf, 24.5.03

What happen?: action- you may play this at any time. (even during an opponents turn) negate the effect of another card. i also think there need to be doubles of AYB or another way to win because its too easy to hoard AYB until u can play it --wolf, 24.5.03

i think maybe each player could have their own private copy of the deck to draw and play from. that would solve the hoarding problem. then they could write their names on the card backs (when its printed out) to stop mix-ups with stealing cards --wolf, 24.5.03

think it's a good idea but not enough background. you need to develop card playing too. --johnny, 4.6.03

"I wasnt to iterested in it." - This is misspelled enough to sound like its own meme, doesn't it? --quixote, 29.6.03

Complex, but looks good. --Matthew, 8.8.03

used this for my first game of dvorak, it was really fun. I like this deck. --Roninoutlaw, 13.8.03

CATS IS YOUR MASTER I LOVE THIS GAME I ONLY PLAY THE CATS CARDS THE ZIGS ARE MY EVIL DOWN FALL --CATS, 14.8.03

This game is REALLY cool! --Andy, 27.9.03

I've played this game 4-5 times (2 players).It's quick and fun.But after 2-3 tries, I feel that the game is too random, and the last game we played drag on for about 30 minutes, then we agree to end it as a draw. Maybe change to 'only 1 action per turn' or/and add a Special Action Card ("May I ?" - Destroy a Base/a Zig you control : counter any Action card just played) will solve the problem. --JackDarwid, 27.11.03

I was quite amused by this deck. At first, I thought having only one ALL YOUR BASE card was limiting, but there were enough deck-discard cards to balance it. --Robb, 1.12.03

Me and my friend tried to play it at the end of Bio. It took a long time, and we never finished, but It was still fun! --Ruhtra, 3.12.03

Looks good. --Tim, 12.12.03

All your Cards are belong to me. --Theman, 14.12.03

What Happen?- If you have a Somebody set us up the bomb card in your discard Pile, you may retrieve it and use it agin... --Theman, 14.12.03

Ha Ha Ha ... - this card gives the user the Ability to point and laugh at his opponent. --Theman, 14.12.03

ha ha ha... --Demon/Angel, 22.12.03

This deck pwnz..hilarious! Also, Zerowing is really quite a fun game. The horrible translation only adds to the enjoyment. --Alnilam, 30.1.04

deck badly needs doubles and a "what you say?" card. Mad funny nonetheless. --E-TRAIN, 14.2.04

hi --ripon, 29.2.04

I get card. We play card. I make my time playing card. --My name isn't Bob, 31.3.04

You have no cards to survive make your time --Aya, 31.3.04

Just curious how do u begin to make your own card game?? i have ideas no im not going to tell you them but still id like to know how you do all this cuz to me that looks freakin sweet! --Noob, 13.4.04

Nice! --Cats777, 10.5.04

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO JEFF --JEFF, 13.5.04

this looks cool, but there should be more cards and more doubles of cards. also What Happen? should let you put any card in the discard pile into your hand --Lupusam, 11.6.04

also What? should put cards back into the deck --Lupusam, 11.6.04

this looks cool, but there should be more cards and more doubles of cards. also What Happen? should let you put any card in the discard pile into your hand --Lupusam, 11.6.04

Kistaro (formerly known as Adam) said: What Happen?: Action- Play the top card of the discard pile as if it was in your hand. Sound good? Perfect card. Love this deck. 7h3 1337 54y5 7hi5 d3ck r0xx0rz. --Annihilator, 24.7.04

Oh yea, and I think there should be an "In AD2101, War was beginning" card. It should do something like "find a Base card in your deck and put it into play. Shuffle your deck. --Annihilator, 24.7.04

It looks good. Just need to fix the problem that whoever gets the AYB card first pretty much wins. --Kage, 1.8.04

needs an 'Its you' card, returns played 'all your base card to the draw pile and reshuffles' --AYBABTU, 12.8.04

There needs to be more doubles of certain cards, but other than that: awesome! --Meefman, 10.10.04

so the only way to win is to play "All Your Base Are Belong To Us"? --genem, 1.1.05

This deck is quite good. It's the only card game I really, really like anymore. Whats really fun is when you get three or four experianced players and have them all playing at once. It's quite hard to keep a full hand for more then one round! Of course, the rules require slight alteration this way, the way me and my friends play you can 'target' a single player with your AYBABTU card, eliminating that person. Of course, then you yourself are subject to be AYB'ed, but that only adds to the challange and fun. --James, 10.6.05

XD --BroomStick, 16.7.05

cant eny one make a printebul verson? that wood be nice. --- dyselectic --gego, 9.8.05

yeah, AYB is the only way to win --bradsoup, 26.9.05

Pace

How does this deck play out? Is it a fast-paced one - giving the number of cards in it? Or is it moderately fast because just one winning card? --Joeyeti 15:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

It's been a long time since I've played it; it's not too fast paced because of the victory requirements, but is probably a bit boringly back-and-forth. --Kevan 15:28, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Fun

This is the first deck I've downloaded and played from site. A friend of mine has played Dvorak with mates and 3 x 5 index cards cut in half with various drinking dares written on them. But we like the more serious gaming side as well. Had a great evening playing this deck over and over. It's very balanced. I found in 1v1 that one tactic is to hold onto the AYBABTU card AND both the cards that force discards. That way the opponent was pretty helpless no matter how many Zigs or Bases he held. But it only gets you so far as a stalemate. Sometimes you get an awesome combination first up and win instantly, other times the play goes back and forth. A lot of fun. - OjnoTheRed 12.03.2009. Yes, after 4 years this page is attracting comments!

Shared-deck games need to have more than one copy of the "Win" card due to the tactic you mentioned. You might want to try playing with a double-size deck containing two of each card.-Bucky 15:59, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
