It's Christmas Eve, and that means board game night. One of your friends has brought over a weird game he got while he was studying abroad. None of you have heard of it, but it seems promising?
The back of the box reads:
*****
"BEHOLD, adventurers! A quest like none other! Explore an Australian Outback ruled by mysterious characters and enchanted by magicks arcane such as GATORMANCY, SHIVINATION, and MATH. Lead your heroes through dozens of unique challenges using the unique CARDSTAT system, guaranteeing that no two games will be alike (unlimited* replay value)! Each space offers a new adventure. Will you fist-fight a KANGAROO? Eat a bunch of JAM? Hack the OUTBACK DARKNET? And, at the end of the day, will you adventure competently enough to reach the coveted G'Day Grotto, complete the trials, and retrieve the G'Day Goblet? The choice is YOURS, hero!
This revised edition includes the acclaimed "GOLD COAST OF DEATH" expansion, featuring an in-depth Artifact system.
An RPG from your friends at Reverse Flush Games."
* Might last you 4, maybe 5 games.

The first entry in the Detective Mystery series.
Get as many CLUES as you can! There's a murder to solve!
Chess Variant #2: ChessMario Teaches Typing is the 2nd of many (possibly) deeply unpleasant chess variants.
Enjoy!

Arrow keys move. Cursor aims. Left mouse hits ball. Time the power bar for the right power!
Based on a title suggested by Eli Z. McCormick.
This is an even more confusing version of the game Proper (glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/9719). Every version is different! Also, as you can see, it doesn't even have the proper title screen.
Please, don't give Agrias trouble. Please hurry... [A knight brings the prisoner

because of some elitist's ideas. Change the world? You think so? I doubt the

Maybe you should
do something else.
This is maybe not something that is quite as good for games, but it's 24 hour comics day, where you draw a page every hour for 24 hours, and get a 24 page comic at the end. If anyone wants to make a comic, or a game with 24 screens, that would be sweet. I think i'll try making a game like this, it remains to be seen how well it will work. Comics, being always about stories, often do have a length metric, and a big volume feels better to hold and navigate through. The same can't always be said about games, as many big games feel tedious at times, but maybe that's not because of the medium, but how certain people and groups approach it. This was just an extended free ramble, but i'm not editing it. Make a 24-screen game and post it here, or a 24-page comic, or both if you're REALLY REALLY AWESOME.
Here are the original directions for the 24-hour comic challenge, make them analogous to making games in whatever way you see fit.
