Decked: Game 2 Ended!

If you have heard of “We Didn’t Playtest This”, Decked follows a similar premise: fast-paced chaos for a buttload of players. This is a card game that features cards like “Deja Vu”, “Voodoo Doll” and “Cute Pigeon”, and is cram packed with shenanigans.


Rules
At the start of the game, each player is given a random position of priority (1st, 2nd, 3rd...) and is dealt three cards.

For every round, each player must select a card to play for the round (if possible), as well as relevant targets and/or information. After the selection period, the round begins; the cards are then played in order of priority. If a player “loses” during this process, their card still activates. After this sequence, each player draws a card, and priorities are shifted such that 2nd becomes 1st, 1st becomes last, and so forth. After this the round ends.

The objective of the game is to either make every other player “lose”, or to make yourself “win”. If either of these conditions are met at the end of a round, the game ends and you win. If every player has lost at the end of a round, the game ends and everyone loses equally. Similarly, if two or more players have won at the end of a round, they both/all win!

If you have lost, you ONLY lose the power to play a card at the beginning of each round and draw a card at the end of each round. However, you can and are still affected by relevant cards. If a card allows you to do something, you are not prevented from doing so. If you win while you have lost, they cancel out.

If a player has won, the game ends after the end of the round (as they may yet still lose, or more winners may surface).

Further Rules and Card Mechanics
If you are unsure of how a card works, feel free to ask. You don't have to read this right now, it will make more sense when you have cards to refer to.

SpoilerShow

When a card says “You”, it refers to the current owner. If you played a card, you are its owner UNLESS it is placed in front of another player. As soon as a card in play moves to a new player, they become its owner.

When discarding a card, any cards “attached” or “underneath” it are also discarded. Discarded cards are 'reset', with titles and all other properties put back to the original card's disposition.

Cards that “attach” to another card in play adjust the properties of that card. If either of the cards are discarded, destroyed, or moved, the others are as well (as if they were one card). The same typically goes for cards “Underneath”, which are face down cards that are hidden from all players that are typically manipulated by the card they are underneath. Cards underneath do not trigger their own texts, and have no affect by themselves.

When a card says “Play immediately”, it is played as soon as you draw it. In the case of multiple players receiving these cards simultaneously, they are resolved in order of priority.

When a card is copied, it is as if another copy of the original card is played (save a possible title change). Any other changed properties of the card copied are not reflected in the copy.

Cards that award points only give you the points while the card is in front of you. If you have enough points at the end of a round, you win. If you win through points while you have lost, the loss is cancelled. You may win multiple times through points, but not more than once a round.

When a card is destroyed, it is removed from the game (as opposed to placed in the discard pile).

If you choose a target that is no longer applicable when you play the card (ex. Target has been discarded), a random target is chosen of all applicable targets.

Sign-ups
Any number of people can sign up! I’m going to close sign-ups in 3 days or after I feel no one else is going to join the first round. All you need to do is post to express your interest and choose either Discord, Quick Topic (I’d make it) or PM (I’d prefer the other two options) for submission of your actions and receiving of your cards.

Here is the list of players who have joined:

1. a52
   
2. Gatr
   
3. wiltingMyosotis
   
4. ICan'tGiveCredit
   
5. SinkingSailor
   

Oooh, me! Discord, Quicktopic, and PM all work equally well and I am incapable of making decisions, so just choose whatever works best for you.

gonna Deck you. discord is great for me.

I'd like to try! I can do discord and try out quick topic.

Okay then a52 and wiltingMyosotis, I'll also contact you through discord.

sign me up

Oh, should I give you my user in discord? Sorry i guess i forgot to ask that.

Yeah wilting, if you could send me a message (Reyweld #8428) that would be great.

I've messages you as life system!

I have no idea what this is because tl dr but COUNT ME IN~~~~

So I'm probably going to close sign-ups tonight (~7 hours) because I don't think anyone else plans to join the first game. I maybe elaborated too much on a game that is very simple to play, but 5 people will also allow for really quick updates.

SinkingSailor do you have a discord account? If not I can send you a link to a Quicktopic (a free message board w/ no account needed)

I hev dishcord. shall add.

Alright, I am closing sign-ups.

The game will begin sometime tonight.

I am sending out hands right now. Choose a card to play on Discord (and don't forget to choose targets / do stuff when relevant).

Update will be whenever I am conscious and I have been sent everyone's plans for round 1.

ROUND 1 - MID ROUND:

Gatr plays Reyweld:
Reyweld - Place this card in front of you. Reyweld is now a player. Reyweld doesn’t get a hand (any cards he would get are discarded), instead drawing one card at the end of the round and immediately playing it. Reyweld always has effective last priority. If this card is discarded from play, Reyweld ceases to be and all cards in front of them are discarded (or destroyed if impossible). If your Reyweld wins, you win. If your Reyweld loses, discard them.

ICan’tGiveCredit plays Copy Cat:
Copy Cat - Play this in front of you. If you have 5 cards with the same title as this one in front of you at any time, you win. If this card is destroyed, this card and a copy of this card are instead put in the discard. If this card is discarded, instead put it in your hand.

SinkingSailor plays Banned, banning the word “Steal”:
Banned - Play this card in front of you, and choose a word (“Steal”). Any cards in play containing that word in their title are discarded. Anyone who plays a card with the chosen word in their title loses, and the card is immediately discarded as if it hadn’t been played.

a52 plays Seeds of Destruction, and places a card from their hand underneath it:
Seeds of Destruction - Place this card in front of you, and a card from your hand underneath. Put five copies of the card underneath into the deck, and shuffle it. Any player who plays a copy of the card underneath loses.

wiltingMyosotis plays Sudden Death in front of Gatr:
Sudden Death - Play this card in front of any player. It cannot be discarded from play. All players no longer draw a card at the end of each round. At the beginning of a round, if any player cannot play a card, they lose.

ROUND 1 - END OF ROUND:

Gatr’s Reyweld draws and plays a card- Deckstruction:
Deckstruction - Destroy the deck. Anyone who tries drawing a card for the rest of the round fails, and experiences only shock (this includes the drawing a card at the end of the round).

Thanks, Reyweld.

Priorities shift, and no one draws a card (due to Sudden Death and Deckstruction).
