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.

The Dvorak Wiki
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.
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 been happening recently, and discuss the changes on the Dvorak mailing list.
Current state of progress
- All the decks and text content from the old site has been transferred.
- There's no reliable way to print decks at the moment, we're working out whether MediaWiki's "Printable version" can be usefully hacked, or if we're going to need a separate script to scrape things into shape.
- We'll definitely need one of those for MUSHcode pasting, if nothing else.
- Heady with the power of wiki, some of us are having a go at a new collaborative CCG.
