(This was something I wanted to do years ago, but I didn't have an existing framework to support it. Now that we've got a wiki, it's easy.)
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.
- No changing other people's cards. If something's ambiguous or broken, raise it on the talk page.
- 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. "Fireball destroys one monster token" is a meaningless card if you draw it in a game where cards that generate monster tokens never appear - if it's worded more generically as "destroy anything that's not a card", there's much less chance of it being a dead card in someone's hand.
- No special rules. This deck has no special rules; it's all on the cards.
- Values in the corners of cards are meaningless, at least until someone makes a card that refers to them.
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).
