A collection of 20 cards for a trading card game that can't actually be played, except in your mind. Inspired by cards like "Imakuni?'s Doduo" from Pokemon TCG and "Shahrazad" from Magic: The Gathering and "Matching Outfits" from Yu-Gi-Oh.

All of the cards were drawn in Microsoft Paint with minor touch ups on a few done with GraphicsGale (mainly the bricks in "Fortify!", because I would still be trying to straighten them perfectly if I was solely using Paint).

Card 8 (Sephalophora) contains a reference to death and card 12 (I Had the Gazing Ball Nightmare Again) has a depiction of torture, be warned if those aren't your thing!

A print-and-play variant of the card game "War" I came up with when I was watching my nephew play the original "War" and it was very obvious he wasn't having a good time with it.

The deck consists of 52 "Sword" cards and 8 "Override" cards, split evenly between two players. Players reveal the top card of their draw pile simultaneously. The player that both swords are pointing at is the loser of that exchange, and the winner places those cards into their capture pile. This continues until someone has no more cards left to play.

"Override" cards alter how the current turn is played, such as your opponent's card becoming your card, forcing them to play a new one.

So, it's War, but instead of being at the complete mercy of random number generation, you do have a bit of an effect on the outcome of a turn. This also has the added bonus of there being way, WAY more "wars" wherein someone could end up losing a ton of cards. It can get to be pretty funny!

Could also be used for conflict resolution in a tabletop game, I suppose.

A single player trading card game experience. You are a talented card player participating in the Great Tournament during the literal end times. The other participants in the tournament are a bit odd.

-Duel and defeat eight literary characters in the card game
-Collect 94 cards and customize your 20 card deck
-Gripping story about the end of the world
-Eavesdrop on conversations among ideologues in the cafe
-Press C at any time to cough!
=====================================================
Created for TheCakeFlavor, who asked for "cards, snowball, celebration, public domain characters, HDMI cable, cough ability, ideology."

I hope you were serious about cards, because the whole game is cards. I absolutely adored the TCG that fotocopiadora made for me last year (https://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/11391) and figured I would just make that game. I fell in love with this project and had a lot of free time the past month, so there's an almost embarrassing amount of content in it. Hopefully the game isn't too difficult!

TIPS:
-Beat opponents in the cafe to earn extra booster packs if you're stuck
-Cough (starter deck), Honey Harvest (booster 1), and The Black Gate (booster 3) are very, very good draw cards that I would nerf if it weren't for the fact that the game depends on them.

A generative tarot reader by Marilyn Roxie. The Public Tarot was made with open-source, interactive fiction software Twine. Purple text indicates word associations with the 78 Rider-Waite tarot images given by 31 survey respondents who ranged in familiarity or lack thereof with the tarot. These responses were then remixed with text from A.E. Waite's The Pictorial Key to the Tarot (1911), which is now in the public domain.

like pac guy this was going to be part of a minigame arcade thing in a bigger game I was making, but I gave up on it for now. this is like crazy eights if you ever played it but instead of 8 the wild card is 2. also the suits and numbers are a bit different (the numbers are ancient somali runes foiund in caves), it says the numbers underneath so you know. the hat joker guy (there is no joker card) will say random quips so to keep you engaged. this was made in game maker 8

An attempt to remove the randomness from poker. @mcclure111 gets some of the idea credit.

This is the game, right here:
Each player has one standard deck of playing cards. For each hand, every player secretly draws a five-card hand from their own deck. Three rounds of betting occur, with each player progressively revealing one card of their choice between rounds. After the final round, all unfolded players reveal their remaining two cards and the hand is resolved. Hands are discarded after use, without revealing any still-hidden cards. Memory aids for played cards are allowed, and should be included in computerized implementations. All other rules are the same as standard poker.

Instructions: I don't even know. After I printed out the cards, the game I had in mind failed abysmally. Let me know if you figure something out.
