1 Blank White Card by Sir. Adam, Flea, Yvonne Field, Kyle Westwood, Naomi, David Coyle

March 11th, 2008 3:53 PM / Location: 54.853983,-6.268987

INSTRUCTIONS: Play a game of 1000 Blank White Cards. Perhaps consider Fluxx for inspiration.

Take a picture or describe the best card in your game, decided by a vote, election, deathmatch, or what have you.

Every two weeks, Adam, Kyle, Naomi, David, and Chris (previously known as Dave) get released from our terribly dull life at school for 45 minutes where we can do whatever we please. This regularly results in the playing of some form of game whilst eating cakes and drinking wonderful flavours of carbonated drink.

Our game for one week was 1000 Blank White Cards!

As was our game for the next, which Yvonne managed to sneak her way into! Naughty naughty!

Basically, every game, we make a few cards pre-game, shuffle in some pre-made cards and some blanks, and play a game. Indeed, these games become so convoluted that the overall outcome of the game is nigh-on impossible to determine.

We do, however, have some cards scanned for your viewing pleasures. Whilst realising that the task stipulates that only the best card should be used, we figured that showing some others, followed by the best would be widely regarded as not a bad thing.

So here goes...

You'll know what to do...
This one was quickly followed by a large number of players claiming that they knew what to do, then claiming a point for knowing what to do.
Yvonne's response was best. "I'm giving myself five points. And now one more."
You have to bark like a chicken.
This one seems to have been created out of sheer randomness, and it fell upon David to provide the quite wonderful sound effect.
Awesome!Irony
The Awesome/Irony pairing was Chris's creation which caused great despair for whoever played the Awesome card, even in games beyond the first. Since pre-made cards were added randomly to the deck for each game, we continued to play Awesome, even though the possibility of Irony was fairly high...
Fire!
A creation of Kyle, and one of the very first cards created, the dragon proved to be a very successful hit, and became a shining role model when explaining to newcomers just what 1000BWC actually is...

And finally...
How'd you get up there?
Short, simple, to the point, remarkably entertaining and bizarrely thought provoking, we thought Naomi's card stood out from the crowd, simply by standing on a parallel surface!

So there's the cards.
Enjoy!

UPDATED WITH ANECDOTES


A number of noteworthy events from a number of games were:
  • One player receiving a $5 tip from each other player.
  • One player becoming a zookeeper, aligned with the forces of good.
  • One player gaining, then immediately losing, immunity to death.
  • One player creating their own wheat field, before having it converted into exactly one bread.
  • One player receiving half a medipack, and at no point in the game attempting to do anything with it.
  • One player attempting to start an impromptu karaoke session.
  • One player starting a game of Deal or No Deal, with only one box which contained a dead cat.

Although the outcome might be difficult to discuss, I'd love to hear a particularly cool sequence of play or two... you know, ancedotes from the game and such. Basically, tell us what happened when you played! (Don't worry, you've already got my vote).
