This is probably the best game ever about plagiarism.

Play it! You'll love it!

  1. st move, plagiarise The Writer CCG Card Set
  2. nd move, intertextualise it!

Summary

The Modular Plagiarism CCG Set is a deck plagiarised as a response to Joshua Keezer's 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, plagiarise another players story or disrupt another player.

Special Rules

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

A story cannot be published until it contains an Opening, "Middle", and Ending, and at least one Character card. The middle can consist of any number of middle cards provided each card has a situation created upon it. Once a story is published, it can be plagiarised by other players.

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 1,000 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.
