Invader Zim
Designer	MagiMaster
Date	2/27/2007
Players	2-4 (suggested 3)
This is an untested deck. Its cards are complete, but it hasn't yet been tested.
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 under construction. Anyone is welcome to contribute - check the talk page to find out more.

Invader Zim is attempting to destroy the Earth! Dib must stop him! Gaz is going to play video games!

Special Rules

Things

There are two subcategories of things in addition to generic things.

Persons are goal cards. Each person has a unique victory condition. The player that controls a person whose condition is satisfied wins the game. Unless some card says otherwise, a player can only control one person at a time.

Alien Tech functions like any other thing, but some cards affect only Alien Tech instead of generic things.

Gear

In addition to the cards, you will need a coin for flipping.

Other Rules

When a thing is destroyed all things on that thing (including all things on those things) are destroyed as well. For example, if The PAK is on Dib, Dib is on The Skool, and The Skool is destroyed, all three are destroyed. (Since The PAK is destroyed, it's ability can't be used.)

Notes

This deck has been partially tested, but never thoroughly. It seems to play alright, if a little slowly. Currently, too many cards are focused on only one goal and on destroying cards.

Currently there are several cards I'd like to add, but I don't really know what to do with them:

Lawn Gnomes
Shloogorgh
Sizz-lorr
The Tallest
The Massive
Mars
Gym
Mortos der Soulstealer
Tak
The Spooky Chihuahua
Robot Parents
Brain Leech (Is that what it was called?)
The "Resisty"
Spelldrive
Lice
Plague of Babies
Keef
The Guidey Chippy Thingy
Shunk Wugga
Saucer Morons
Cybarachnorama
And many other things I missed...

Feel free to add new cards (especially those above) but any changes to existing cards should be discussed. Also, please try to maintain the style of the cards.

Quotes from www.thescarymonkeyshow.com.

Invader Zim and the characters therein belong to Jhonen Vasquez (or should).

Have Fun!

Card List

Zim

Thing - Person

If Destroy the World is played, the controller of this card wins the game.

Stupid, stinking humans.

-Feel free to add new cards (especially those above) but any changes to existing cards should be discussed.  Also, the existing cards use very technical body text.  Please try to maintain this style.  (In this deck's creator's opinion, this prevents any confusion over what the card does without ruining the sense of humor.)  However, if you think you can make the text clearer, feel free to try.
