I was playing around with the concept of a game set in a government warehouse, where each card was the contents of a box. My friends and I played around with it, and some of the cards stopped having any place in the warehouse, but the game became fun. There is two ways to win listed on the cards, but anything you can think of to escape the warehouse is fair game, except where noted.
Special Rules
Drawing and Playing
There are no hands in the government warehouse. At the beginning of the game, the first player draws a card and plays it. Actions consist of anything you can think of do to with that card. If the other players debate the logic of your move, then vote on it. Ties favor the dissenter.
On each turn
You play only destroy, search for, steal, etc. one card per turn. You must wait one turn between setting up an escape attempt and escaping, except in the case of the Key to the Door and the Super Bar.
Number of things
You may only have five things, unless you put things inside other things, or equip things to other things (Was that confusing? I bet it was confusing). If something is destroyed while it has something equipped to it or in it, all attached cards are also destroyed.
All things are assumed to have unlimited resources. Guns never run out of ammo, cars never need refueling, etc. This does not apply to food unless the food is in the plural form. Destroying a thing means the entire pile of cookies, scarabs, etc. is gone as well.
