== Summary ==
The Writer CCG Card Set is a deck designed by Joshua Keezer as part of his 365plus.org web blog.
===Prerequisites===
All players need to have a deck of at least 40 cards.  No more than 4 of the same card can be included in the deck.
===Setup===
Each player shuffles and draws five cards from their deck.  The player with the smallest deck starts.  In the case of a tie, the youngest player goes first.
===Turns===
Each turn, the active player draws one card and plays one card to either expand their current story, market an existing story, or disrupt another player.
===Special Rules===
Premise cards cannot be played once an Opening, Second Act, or Ending has been played for the current story.
A story cannot be published until it contains an Opening, Second Act, and Ending, and at least one Character card.  Once a story is published, it can no longer be modified.
A player's current number of Readers is determined by the total points in the upper right "Reader" box plus any modifiers for all of their published stories plus any bonuses or penalties added in from Marketing cards.
Published stories earn +50 Readers if the Opening, Second Act, Ending, and all Character cards are the same genre.
===Winning the Game===
If any player has over 500 Readers at the end of the current turn, they are the winner.  If any player is unable to draw a card at the start of their turn, the player with most Readers wins.

Summary

The Writer CCG Card Set is a deck designed by Joshua Keezer as part of his 365plus.org web blog.

Prerequisites

All players need to have a deck of at least 40 cards. No more than 4 of the same card can be included in the deck.

Setup

Each player shuffles and draws five cards from their deck. The player with the smallest deck starts. In the case of a tie, the youngest player goes first.

Turns

Each turn, the active player draws one card and plays one card to either expand their current story, market an existing story, or disrupt another player.

Special Rules

Premise cards cannot be played once an Opening, Second Act, or Ending has been played for the current story.

A story cannot be published until it contains an Opening, Second Act, and Ending, and at least one Character card. Once a story is published, it can no longer be modified.

A player's current number of Readers is determined by the total points in the upper right "Reader" box plus any modifiers for all of their published stories plus any bonuses or penalties added in from Marketing cards.

Published stories earn +50 Readers if the Opening, Second Act, Ending, and all Character cards are the same genre.

Winning the Game

If any player has over 500 Readers at the end of the current turn, they are the winner. If any player is unable to draw a card at the start of their turn, the player with most Readers wins.
