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.

Spoiler
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.
