Ace In The Hole by Sam Archer

March 3rd, 2013 3:47 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Create a deck of playing cards featuring real-world desires, actions, people, objects, feelings, laws, or anything else. Use the deck by playing appropriate cards in appropriate situations in your real life.

I never really got into M:tG or any of its cousins, so I went in a different direction from most, drew some inspiration from the pretired Dérive - The Gathering task, and made a Fluxx-style game with cards that represent things you might do or plan or be drawn by while out for a walk to noplace in particular. A number of the cards are of course inspired by SF0 tasks and groups.

Thanks to the wonders of the Internet it's actually not too expensive to get a single set of custom playing cards printed up, so once I'd designed all the cards it only took me a couple of weeks to get an actual set of them in my hands.

Then I went out and played a quick game. Here are some photos I took during my first playtest.

You make a good point; if I were smart I'd be selling these things at a profit so I could monetize my tasking.

($8.36 is the site's printing cost for this particular game; they let you tack on any extra amount you want as profit, so you can either just print stuff up at cost or try to make money at it. It's like CafePress for games.)

This is really really neat. I'm deeply tempted to order a set...

And I love Fluxx!
