RE: Title Pending - An Unfinished Card Game

Your link broke somewhere along the line, Scott.
So I'm thinking the basic rules would be, you'd have blanks and could fill them in with either a phrase from another card's text, the name of another card, or a number on another card. With some kind of indicator of which is allowed.
The main issue is starting the game; presumably the cards we use for filling in the blanks would have to be "in play", but we'd need some way of putting cards in play so that you can do things on the first turn. Some kind of "starting set" in the middle that can't actually be played but can be used to grab phrases might work. Maybe with restrictions on how long it can be used for to keep the game from getting too stable.

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
