In the Hour of Randomness deck, players start with 3 "lives" and fight to eliminate their opponents with cards like Nuclear Apocalypse and Water is Splashy.
Your only defense may come in the form of the sturdy and dangerous Electric Barbed Wire Pit Trap With Poison Spikes or the shining beacon of safety, the Unreliable Bodyguard.

Special Rules

HP: Each player starts with 3 health tokens. If you run out of health tokens, you lose.
Defender Things: Defender Things have a value in the corner. This represents its HP, and it comes into play with that many health tokens.
If a Defender Thing has no health tokens, it is destroyed. As long as you control a Defender Thing, Actions and abilities that would harm you instead must target your Things.
For example, say you have "Large Rock" and your opponent plays "Ant-Sized Harpoon." Normally you would take 1 damage, but "Ant-Sized Harpoon" has to deal with Large Rock
before it can get to you. (fortunately by then it'll be in the discard pile).

Large Rock

Defender Thing

um.
It's a rock.
And it's big.

Card by eskimoboy

Ant-Sized Harpoon

Action

Deal 1 damage to a Defender thing or unprotected player.

Card by eskimoboy

Things without corner values: Things without corner values cannot be targeted by damage-dealing cards (they can still be destroyed by a "destroy" effect), but at
the same time, they don't protect you from harm. For example, "only i can see the moon's master plan" will not save you from "nuclear apocalypse."

only i can see the moon's master plan

Thing

You may play the top card of the deck as though it was in your hand.
Action: look at the top card of the deck.

Card by eskimoboy

Nuclear Apocalypse

Action

Deal 3 damage to a Defender thing or unprotected player.

it could be wor-
DONT SAY IT!

Card by eskimoboy

Starting the Game: Each player draws five cards. They may then each play up to three Defender Things before the game begins, so as to not be slaughtered right
off the bat. Once both players are ready, flip a coin, play rock paper scissors, do flips off of a cliff, whatever floats your boat, to decide who should go first.
The turn structure is normal, in which the player draws a card, plays an Action, a Thing, or both, {or neither :) ), and play goes on to the next person.
