Dvorak is a card game where all of the cards start out blank; players choose a theme, make up enough cards to get started, shuffle and deal, then add further cards to the game as the game progresses. It provides you with enough rules to start a game, but leaves the theme and the depth up to you.

In an attempt to bring Dvorak properly into the 21st century, we're going to try moving everything (including deck lists) to a publicly-editable wiki, to see what happens. If and when it's in a fit state to replace the main site, we'll shift and redirect everything.

As with the game itself, we're making this up as we go along - feel free to pitch in with suggestions, advice or boring old legwork, in this uncertain time.
 
You can check [[Special:RecentChanges]] to see what's going on. I've arbitrarily picked the [http://dvorakgame.co.uk/cardlist?timecube Time Cube deck] as a test case - there's a page for it here at "[[Time Cube deck]]", and it's using a tentative "card" template (editable at [[Template:Card]]).

Dvorak - Get a pen and draw a card.

Welcome to Dvorak

Dvorak is a card game where all of the cards start out blank. Players choose a theme, make up enough cards to get started, shuffle and deal, and start playing. If anyone has a good idea for a card during the game, it gets shuffled into the deck.

You can use the Dvorak system as a skeleton for making a solid and standalone card game, you can play it as an experimental or cut-throat Nomic, you can use it to kill half an hour drawing pictures and forcing your friends to perform forfeits, you can throw together a card game based on your favourite film or sport or in-joke, or you can even build your own collectible card game from the ground up.

You can also play the card games that other people have come up with over the years - just pick something from the deck archive to print out and cut into a deck of cards, or play the game online at DvorakMUSH. If you want to upload your own decks here, you can sign up to the wiki.
