A game that emerged from another thread but it was OT so I decided to start a proper thread. Rules are simple: use the games you own here as a playing cards. Let me copy what we made in another thread and you will immediately know what is it about:

- Postal dude went full redneck rampage but the Pharaoh's curse got it him fair and square (or super hexagonal to be more exact). In the mean time the other half of Pharaoh card - Cleopatra - managed to seduce Jack Keane.

- Pharao/Cleopatra will be a hard to beat card, with only its innovation stat being low.
The Jack Keane card will have one special power: when you play it, your opponent is on freeze and can't do anything for xy turns!

- Unless seduced by Tomb Raider

- aw crap, early powerplay....i haven't got anything to seduce Lara with in my deck so I'm countering with Kate Walker (immune to Lara's, uhm, personality) and play on Syberia's story stat.

- I'm waking the Sleeping Dragon from Broken Sword 3. His fire breath will counter Siberia's climate while lame sokoban-like puzzles infesting Broken Sword 3 will make Kate burst into tears (it only works on characters from good adventure games). Gotcha!

- Dragon? This is serious...I could call upon my Darklands party to deal with this but since the power of the Broken Sword dragon is unknown to me and my party is weak, I invoke the rock volley tactical power from Stronghold Crusader Extreme. Fire won't harm my castle because it's filled with wells and ballistae on every tower will keep the dragon away. Rock volley comes from the sky so your only option is to retreat into your cave (don't know if your dragon has one, but I assume it has) and play another card.

To which my answer is: I invoke special command: Papers, Please! And while the defenders of your castle are in panic (they don't even know where are their papers, heck, most of them can't even read) The Order of the EZIC Star blows your castle up.

And now you have to counter my attack! Ready? Go!
Lucky me, having built vaults, specifically one-without-a-functioning-water-chip which produces fairly strong and determined vault dweller from Fallout.
Lots of radiation coming your way.

Damn, no manner of violence can defeat orderly bureaucracy, except for underhanded methods: I send in Garrett to quietly steal your daily briefing orders, without which your bureaucratic tyranny will crumble in disarray.

edit: got ninja-ed! Let's cut a deal: After Garrett stole the daily orders,he returns to Vault 13. Next attack must crack the Vault.

And defend against radiation!

Fair enough. I send the Rock Giant from Reus. He will just flatten the Vault 13. Perhaps not the most subtle solution but elegant in its simplicity ;)

I send my people to Alpha Centauri and start mining the Rock Giant for minerals.

I send some Creatures from their Village. They are super cute and your people cannot help bet pet them all the time. Your people are immobilized for two rounds.

I, Caesar the 3rd, request 15 fruit from your village. Your creatures are too short to pick the fruit and fail to satisfy the imperial request. A legion of well trained Romans is dispatched and will be upon you soon.

(btw my real life granary is empty, must go get food and go afk, hope others can join the game)
Poor romans got lost and descended deep into the Abyss in Ultima Underworld. Moreover the Avatar is not impressed with you by your lack of virtue.

Thou must regain some.

[Ninja'd by 42 minutes, but I'll keep the play anyway. It's an interruption, so the game can carry straight on as it did after my play anyway. Hopefully I've understood the 'rules' correctly]

Hmm. Defcon seems a little overkill for this situation; I'd rather save it for a direr need. Besides, I know that Nightblair is playing a Fallout deck, and so presumably still has two cards available to provide an easy counter to that.

I think I'll meet and enlarge upon your play by adding Creatures: The Albian Years and Creatures Exodus to the pile, thus doubling the immobilisation timer.

JC Denton drops A Bomb resetting the immobilisation timer :D
I'll play two cards to deal with Nightblair's yet uncountered move and JudasIscariot's card, and the next player can decide which of my two cards to counter:

I use Robin Hood 's trracking skills for getting un-lost and help the poor to raise my standing with the Avatar.

I still got all 3 Fallout cards so I'll use one of them to counter the A bomb, standard move but with my limited deck there's not too many options.

So next player, counter either Robin Hood or crack my vault. In fact, I place Robin Hood inside the vault so you must overcome the vault first.

It's ok, it's not a Magic Tournament with strict rules, we can freely work around things!

(Plus it's funny how JC Denton really is immobilizing things around here. I went downtown and back and Deus Ex is still hogging the main page...)

Anyway, who can defeat Robin Hood hiding inside the Fallout vault?

Using two cards on this one.

Garret takes care of the vault while The Vault Dweller talks Robin Hood to death :)

I Uplink myself into your vault's networks, using the abilities the card grants me to hack into the door mechanism and open it. That doesn't leave me with many options to counter the Robin Hood. Hmm. I think I'll play one of my beserkers from Eador:Genesis, and charge into combat. From experience, I can say that that should work quite easily.

Naturally, this has the side power of splitting the world into innumerable shards in an apocalyptic event, which provides me with an effective defense against all but a factory reset, I hope.

(If no one's realised, I've never played M:tG, though I know how the concept works in general, so I'm making things up as I go along)

Apparently we had a double play between me and Judas. I guess the next player has to counter both, then?
