1000 Blank White Cards

Think Calvinball, but as a card game with pen and paper Photoshop and Google Image Search. That's 1000 Blank White Cards in a nutshell.

So how does one play this game? Simple! There's a deck of 1000 blank white cards (or in this case, 1000 blank white PN Gs), and the players literally make up the cards as they go along. Players take turns at playing one card from their hand, which generally remain in play until destroyed or otherwise no longer needed.

If that all sounds dull, then get this: cards can have anything on them. Anything. For instance, you could have something as simple as this. Or you could do something like this. Hell, you can even make this card.

See? You can make up anything you want.

"Officially" the objective is to have the most points once all the cards are used up. I say "officially" in quotation marks because that's total bollocks. The real goal is have tons of fun while making everybody else laugh at how utterly ridiculous this next card of yours is. If they're laughing, you're winning. If they aren't, you're a loser and you will die a virgin. Even if you aren't a virgin.


For those who haven't caught on yet, I'm like to host a game here for five vict- erm, volunteers to play. If you'd like to get in on these here shenanigans, post here indicating your willingness to play, then send me a PM with at least six cards you've made for this game. Cards must be 300x400 pixels (portrait) or 400x300 pixels (landscape). We'll start once we have five vict- erm, volunteers who are ready to play.

Some ground rules I'm going to lay down:

  • Nobody except me can change these rules.
  • Everything I say is a rule by default.
  • You have 24 hours to play a card, or your turn is forfeit.
    • If you have no cards in your hand, make one and continue on.
    • If you forfeit a turn twice, I will replace you.
  • If a card requires you to do something, it must be done by your next turn and no sooner.
  • Cards do exactly what they say. You cannot edit, update, replace or errata a card.

Can cards modify other cards here? It says "you may not edit a card..." but I'm just checking.

I'm up for it.

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

^^ Yes, cards can change cards. For instance, you could make a card that flips gender so that if someone were to play this card, every card would have to be played TO THE MAXINE!!! instead of TO THE MAX!!!

I'll play! I love this game! But it could take me a couple of days to submit cards.

Gotta go to work, so if we get started tonight, I won't be ready to play until morning. Same for tomorrow night.

Currently I still only have cards from Angry Scientist, Black Wolfe, juancarlos11, and Ralphirus.

I'm more than willing to up the maximum player count to ten. However, I'd like to get this started soon, so once I receive a fifth set of cards, anyone else wishing to play will have 24 hours to send in theirs.

And the lucky fifth player is...Reecer6!

Anyone else wanting to play now has 24 hours to submit their cards, after which the deck will be shuffled, hands dealt, and the game begun.

I know one card in particular that people won't even have to look at the text to know I made it.

By the way, can I screw this game up to the millions? I'm thinking about adding completely seperate rulings and charts to my cards for no real reason other than to make this thing as Calvinball-y as possible.
