Plots and plans for a Guide CCG, kicked around on the Dvorak mailing list back in 2002. Note that this is not a normal Dvorak deck, it's a collectible card game - the list of cards here is the base set with which players can build their own decks.
Special Rules
Deck Building
Decks must contain exactly forty-two cards, three of which must be different Goal cards. A deck may not contain more than four copies of the same card.
Prologue
At the start of the game, each Player should search their deck for a World and their Goal cards, and put them into play.
Goals
Goals are completed whenever their owner meets their required conditions - flip them over to show that they have been completed. The first Player to complete all of their Goals wins the game. (Goals are never part of the game area, and cannot be destroyed or otherwise affected.)
Interstellar Travel
World cards may only be played if the Player controls a Ship and a Lifeform to pilot it. Players may only control one World and one Ship - older ones are automatically destroyed.
Nearby
A card is said to be 'nearby' another if they are both on the same World.
Planetary Destruction
If a World is destroyed, any other copies of that World currently in play are also destroyed. If a Player controls neither a World nor a Ship at any time, all of his or her Lifeforms perish in the vacuum of space.
Uniqueness
If a card is marked as "Unique", then only a single copy of that card may be in play at any one time. If multiple copies somehow exist in play, all are destroyed.
