From Dvorak - A Blank-Card Game
Feet of clay, boots of gold.
Here are my cards for the Infinite Dvorak Deck. Comments are very welcome on the Talk page (this one, or the IDD talk page). I am aiming for interesting, non-overpowered cards, and I would be grateful for any spelling or grammar corrections, or neat shorter ways to phrase my longer card texts.

Condorcet ParadoxAction
All players vote "Yes" or "No" (or abstain) on the proposition: "All players without a card stating a winning or losing condition in their hand or under their control now win the game". If "Yes" wins, the proposition decides the game. If "No" wins, all players who voted "No" must discard a card. Tie: nothing happens.
