The Infinite Dvorak Deck | |
---|---|
Designer | Everyone |
Date | March 2007 and onwards |
Players | 2+ |
Although this is an unfinished deck, it is still 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 under construction. Anyone is welcome to contribute - check the talk page to find out more. |
The Infinite Dvorak Deck is an ever-expanding card game, which anyone can add cards to. There's no coherent theme, and cards can be original, inspired by anything, copied from other Dvorak decks, or even dragged in verbatim from other card games.
The only rules to adding cards are:-
- Don't add more than three cards at a time; give someone else a chance to add some, before you add any more. And make sure you put your cards at the bottom of the page.
- Don't change other people's cards. If something seems ambiguous or broken, tell them on the talk page. (There's an option to filter specified users' cards out when you export the deck to play with, so don't worry too much if someone's cards are irredeemably unplayable.)
- Cards shouldn't refer to other cards. Remember that the deck is infinite! Cards should avoid making any specific references to other cards or mechanics, because they might never see those specific cards during play, particularly if you think of the deck as infinite. You should word your mechanics as generically as possible - a fishing rod card that said "gain control of a fish" would be useless in a game where no fish cards came up, whereas one that said "gain control of a living Thing" would probably see some use in any game that it got drawn in.
- (A good test is to open a random archive page of the Infinite Dvorak Deck, and see how many of its cards your new card could apply to. If there are only one or two cards that you could play it on, then you should probably word it more generically.)
- No special rules. This deck has no Special Rules aside from the two described below; it's all on the cards. Cards should not create Special Rules (or any equivalent "invisible" effect that significantly outlives the lifetime of the card); players should only have to read the cards on the table to know what's going on.
- Values in the corners of cards are meaningless, unless there's another card in play that somehow gives them meaning.
Whenever anyone's feeling insane enough to play a game of it, they can export it to the Dvorak Engine, or possibly Apprentice (if it's possible to make decks that contain every card of a set).
Special Rules
The only rules that this deck uses in addition to the basic Dvorak rules are:-
- Tokens exist. Some cards can create or destroy or manipulate "tokens", which you should represent with whatever coins or counters you have to hand. Tokens count as Things, but if a token is destroyed or otherwise removed from play, it's removed from the game entirely. Tokens usually have individual types (such as "Energy" or "Goblin"); if a token has a type, that's also considered to be its name, otherwise its name is just "Token".
- If there's an ambiguity, vote on it. For example: if a card says to destroy a "living" Thing, and a player is wondering if it'll work against a "zombie" card, the players should take a vote to determine whether or not the zombie counts as living. If a majority decision can't be reached, resolve it randomly.
Selected Sets
If you'd prefer a more compact subset of the deck, you may appreciate one of the following:
Superpower set, Token set, Flavor set

These expansions add cards and/or rules to games using the Infinite Dvorak deck or its subsets:

...and this time we're here to stay.
If Transparent Suitcase gets destroyed take back those cards.
At the beginning of your enemies turn (before drawing) that player discards a card.
Thing: An enemy of your choice gets 1 Braintumor token with the ability "Your handcardlimit is reduced by 1" and you get 1 Brainjuice token with the ability "Your handcardlimit is raised by 1".

"Such a doomsday device would only be an effective deterrent if everybody knew about it."
"I can't change any possible futures, Mr. North, but I can pick the least unpleasant one"~Simon Slate
Action: At the beginning of your turn, remove a time counter from North's Hourglass. If no counters remain, all players discard their hands and this card is shuffled into the deck.
Numbers on cards that are not cornervalues are added to the controllers points. At the end of the game the player with the most points wins.
This card worth 10 extra points.
Whenever an opponent would play an action card whose title contains a character in the cornervalue of a card under Spell Stowaway, you may first play a copy of that action and put all cards under Spell Stowaway into the discard pile.
Things with a Fog Token cannot be targeted by Actions.
Other things with 2 Fog Tokens are blank.
Any time a thing has 3 Fog Tokens, remove it from the game.
Action: Each player draws a card.
Instead of playing a Thing this turn, you may choose that players can't play Things until your next turn.
If Remembrance is in any zone where you can read it, you may play it as though it were in your hand.
Action:Thing: Destroy two of your Things to gain a Food token.
Action+Thing: Pay one Food token per remaining player to win the game (minimum 3).
OR destroy all green Things and draw a card,
OR search the deck for a card that has been shuffled into it from elsewhere, move it to your hand, and shuffle the deck.
Whenever one or more cards would be shuffled into the deck, you may destroy Thoughtsieve to put one of those cards into your hand and the rest on top of the deck, then shuffle the deck.
You can't draw cards.
When you play an Action, put Dualcharge into the discard pile and play a second copy of that Action.
It has "Action or Thing: Move a Skill card from your hand to your controller's hand." and "Action and Thing: Reveal a card from your hand and move it to your controller's hand."
Action (Global): destroy two cards you control. If the addition of a number on the first card with a number on the second one gives a perfect square, gain control of Πυθαγόρας.

When a player has more Money Tokens than each other player, that player gains control of Actors' Guild.
How literally do you want to take it?
This substitutes the rules for your turn: “N is the number of other players when this card is played. At the start of your turn, you draw 5+N cards. Then you may play N+1 cards and 1 Thing's Action or Thing or Action+Thing, in any order. Your hand size is unlimited.”
If a player hasn't any Rock, Paper or Scissors in play, he is eliminated.
If an effect would choose or target a player, any player may be chosen regardless of restrictions.
At the beginning of your turn, rotate this card 90°.
Battle Formation is indestructible while it's pointing at you. Whenever you play a Thing, you may put a damage counter on a Thing controlled by the player Battle Formation is pointing at. Destroy that Thing if it is a Token or if it already had a damage counter.
If there's an odd number of players, there's no one directly across from you.
When a player has more Rules, Laws and paper items combined than all the other players combined, that player gains control of Lawyers’ Guild.
