Hour of Randomness Deck

Hour of randomness
Designer eskimoboy
Date 7/02/2009
Players 2+
This is an unfinished deck. It is incomplete, and is not playable.
To play Dvorak: Draw five cards each and leave the rest as a draw pile. On your turn, draw a card from the draw pile and play one Thing and/or one Action. (See the full rules.)

This deck is locked. Further cards should not be added - leave feedback on the talk page.

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).

1
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.
