The Cards

All-Purpose Repair Kit

Thing

If one of your Things is destroyed, you may choose to destroy this in its place. The saved Thing must be a physical object and not a creature.

Card #1822

Card by Tweed Cap

An opponent of your choice gives you his whole hand, then draws as many cards as he gave you, at random, from your hand.

Card #1795

Card by Tweed Cap

Gumball Machine

Thing

After drawing but before playing any cards on a turn, any player may draw a card; he shows this card to the other players and must play it immediately if possible. Playing the drawn card does count as one of his card plays for the turn.

Card #1796

Card by Tweed Cap

Kleptomania

Thing

Whenever an opponent plays a Thing, it comes into play under your control. Each time this happens, you gain a theft token and a d6 is rolled. If the die roll is less than or equal to the number of theft tokens you have, destroy this card.
Thing: Destroy a theft token.

Card #1797

Card by Tweed Cap

Lapse

Action

Take a non-token Thing from play into your hand, resolve any consequences of its leaving play, then put the card back into play under the same controller. If there are decisions to be made when the card is played (other than its controller), you make them.

Card #1829

Card by Tweed Cap

Malachite Obelisk

Thing

At the start of each player's turn, flip a coin. If it comes up heads, the player may play two Actions this turn instead of one, but cannot play a Thing. If it comes up tails, the player may play two Things this turn instead of one, but cannot play an Action.

Card #1785

Card by Tweed Cap

Oubliette

Thing

Action: Remove a creature (living, undead, robotic, etc.) in play from the game. If the target was not a token, flip a coin; on "tails", destroy Oubliette. (Cards removed from the game by Oubliette are not returned to play when Oubliette is destroyed.)

Card #1836

Card by Tweed Cap

P-Switch

Action

Until the end of your next turn, all tokens are treated as actual cards and all non-token Things are treated as tokens.

---

Card #1806

Card by Tweed Cap

Qwerty

Thing

All special rules, whatever their source, are repealed when Qwerty enters play. No player may propose any new cards or special rules while Qwerty is in play.

---

The natural enemy of Dvorak!
Card #1830

Card by Tweed Cap

Reformed Property Laws

Thing

Every one plays with his hand face up. Each player may play cards from any other player's hand; no one may play cards from his own hand.

---

Card #1828

Card by Tweed Cap

Soullessness

Thing

When Soullessness comes into play, choose a player for it to affect. As long as Soullessness is in play, the affected player is immune from card-created win conditions and lose conditions. He can still win if everyone else loses or lose if someone else wins.

Card #1782

Card by Tweed Cap

Vampire Slayer

Thing

If Vampire Slayer is destroyed for any reason, it goes into the hand of a random player instead of the discard pile.
Action: Destroy any monster or undead.

---

Back in the day, there was always one of these, no more no less.
Card #1834

Card by Tweed Cap

Zen Fortress

Thing

Your maximum hand size is decreased by one. Whenever you are forced to play a card randomly or a card of an opponent's choice, you can choose to play nothing instead. No card can make you discard against your will.

Remarks/Clarification

Coffeeshop with Free Refills!

If a player's hand is temporarily empty in the middle of resolving some other effect but no longer empty by the end of resolving the effect, Coffeeshop does not trigger. In other words, Coffeeshop does not "interrupt" other card effects. For example, your chosen opponent would not refill his hand in the middle of Drunken Bartering while Coffeeshop was in play.

Also, if another Thing has a passive effect that triggers when someone's hand is empty (for example, if a card eliminated any player who ever had no cards in hand), the Coffeeshop does not prevent the other effect from triggering first.

Drunken Bartering

Yes, it is my intention that your opponent can draw some of his own cards back. The random draws come from the combined hand. You get to examine the cards you were given before the draws.

Lapse

Here are some sample uses of this card, all of them legal, just to make it more clear what I have in mind.

Play Lapse on Soullessness to redirect its effect to a different player.

Play Lapse on Dawn of War to reset everyone to five morale tokens.

Play Lapse on any card with other "attached" Things modifying it to shake them off.

P-Switch

In my Dvorak custom, the unwritten rule is that Action effects can last up to one full round (as this one does) before they cross into "creating a special rule" or "undocumented background effect" territory. If you're the kind of person who needs your Dvorak 100% free of anything like background effects, you can reimplement this as a Thing which ends its effect, then destroys itself, at the end of your next turn. This has the undesired (by me) effect of making the P-Switch vulnerable to destruction or changes in controller (which can have the even more undesirable effect of monkeying with its duration). I have found Actions that last a short, fixed amount of time, in moderation, to be fun and not game-breaking. I hope you'll agree.

If a non-token Thing is destroyed during the P-Switch, it is removed from the game (because that's how tokens are treated). Likewise, if a token is destroyed, it is placed in the discard pile. When the P-Switch wears off, all tokens in the discard pile are removed from the game (but cards removed from the game are not brought back).

Finally, if a second P-Switch is somehow played before the first expires (because, say, someone has an effect to recover cards from the discard pile), the effect is prolonged until the most recent P-Switch naturally expires. Nothing special happens when the original P-Switch would have expired.

Qwerty

This card does not repeal "Tokens exist." nor "If there's an ambiguity, vote on it." The effect refers only to special rules above and beyond those hardwired into Infinite Dvorak.

When Qwerty leaves play, any special rules that it repealed are not automatically restored. They can, of course, be proposed anew.

Soullessness

Just to clarify, I consider cards that "eliminate" players a kind of lose condition, so this does give immunity from elimination. Also, suppose a win or lose condition is created by a Thing, and you meet the condition while soulless. If Soullessness is destroyed later, and the condition is still in effect, and you still meet it, you win/lose immediately. Soullessness does not prevent effects that explicitly "end the game" (such as Friedrich Nietzsche). However, if a Nietzsche-esque card said "Each player loses.", that would be a winning two-card combo with Soullessness.
