Hi. I'm Stepex (or Epsilon, any pronouns work), and I don't do a lot here besides bickering around with other tropers, and once in a fortnight, launching a works page for an extra-obscure game. I'm also autistic and a science/math nerd. Nice to meet you!
Works pages I've launched:
List of bangers that I've found in the depths of the internet:
Uno Gone Rogue: Rules (WIP)
Rules: Standard Uno rules apply. In addition:
- The whole game gets played over multiple rounds. After each round, the winner gets a victory token, which can be exchanged for 25 coins (feel free to increase if it feels inadequate, but keep in mind that it should on average be less than the money gained from losing) and 10 coins flat, the losers gain coins equivalent to the total value of their hand. "0" cards have no value, all special cards (reverse, +2, +4 and wild card etc.) have a value of 10.
- Hands get carried over across rounds. When a new round starts, all players gain 5 cards (for a maximum of 10 cards on round start), the winner of the previous round gains seven cards.
- The first person to gain five (feel free to adjust for game length) victory tokens wins the game!
- After each round, the shop opens, and provides n randomly picked effect cards for sale, where n is the number of players plus 2. Each effect card costs 30 coins (feel free to adjust for balance, or give each card individual prices). The effect cards can be bought on a first-come-first-serve basis (if you're feeling chaotic), or in accordance with the turn order of the just finished round (i.e. the player that would've come next after the player who won the round gets to buy the first effect card).
- Effect cards are tradeable! You can also buy effect cards from other players, if they agree with your price.
- No matter what, you can only draw at most 10 cards per turn. If an effect tells you to draw another card beyond that, that effect gets nullified.
- Not an explicit rule, but there may have to be a limit on how many effect cards players can have, just so that the game doesn't go on forever with players buying new cards indefinitely

1. Once per round, take a look at an opponent's hand.
2. Once per round, give an opponent a card from your hand.

5. While you have this effect card, you're free to place cards if their value and the previous card's value add up to 9.
6. Once per round, force an opponent to skip their turn.
7. Once per round, reverse the turn order. In a two-player game, force the opponent to skip their turn.

10. Once per round, take a peek at the highest five cards in the draw pile.

17. Your "skip turn" cards work an additional turn, for a maximum of 2 turns, and your +2 cards become +4 cards.
18. When unable to play cards: You can pick any card from the highest 5 cards in the draw pile to play. If you still can't play any of those cards, take any card from them and add them to your hand. Shuffle the other 4 cards back into the draw pile.
