Stitcher Re-Awakened Technologies Inc 1180	Posted - 2013.04.30 15:30:00 - [1] - Quote I invented this simple card game for Fanfest and wound up playing it with a few people, who all said they enjoyed it. It's called "Shield Tank. Objective In Shield Tank, your objective is to be the last player standing. Every player starts with 30 hit points, and your objective is to use attacking cards to reduce all the other players to 0 hp, while using your shield to protect your own HP total. Setup The dealer first needs to remove the Jokers from the deck. Games of six players or more need a second deck. The dealer then deals three cards face-down to each player. This is their hand. The dealer then deals four cards face-up to each player GÇô this is their Shield. Each player needs to record their hit point totally (which usually starts at 30) in some way GÇô pen and paper, your phone, a calculator or five six-sided dice are all ideal. All cards that have not been dealt are placed in a GÇ£draw pile in the middle of the table. Next to this is the GÇ£scrap pileGÇ¥ which begins play empty. Play then commences with the player to the dealer's left, and goes clockwise around the table. Players are encouraged to GÇ£call primaryGÇ¥, form temporary alliances of convenience, lie and cheat. Just don't get caught. Turn At the beginning of each player's turn, if their shield contains less than four cards, then it GÇ£rechargesGÇ¥: the player draws cards directly from the draw pile into their shield until it contains 4 cards. Once the player's shield contains four cards, they may take one single action. The available actions are: Swap: The player may exchange a card in their shield for one from their hand, with the shield card being put in their hand. Scrap: The player may discard a card from their hand by placing it on the scrap pile, and replace it with a card from the draw pile. Cards may not be discarded from the shield. Attack: The player may attack another player by playing a card from their hand (NOT their shield). If the card is of a suit not present in the target player's shield, then it does its full face value in damage, which reduces the target player's hitpoint total. Aces are worth one point, Jacks, Queens and Kings are worth 11, 12 and 13 respectively. If the attacking card is of a suit that is present in the target player's shield, then the damage done by the attack is reduced by the face value of the highest shield card of that suit. (So for instance, if player A attacked with the 10 of clubs, and the defending player's shield contained the 5 and 7 of clubs, then the attack would do 3 damage). The attack card and any shield card that was used to block it then go on the scrap pile. If the shield card is of a higher face value than the attacking card, then the attack glances off, doing no real damage, and the attacking player counts as having chosen to Scrap their card instead GÇô the defender does not lose their shield card. In the event of a tie (only possible when using two combined decks), then the shield card is scrapped, but the target player takes no damage. If an Ace is used to attack a King of the same suit, then the King is reduced to an effective value of 0 GÇô it is scrapped, and the target player takes 1 damage. If a King is used to attack an Ace, however, it does 13 damage less the Ace's value of 1, for a total of 12 damage. At the end of their turn, if their hand contains less than 3 cards, then the player GÇ£reloadsGÇ¥ their hand to 3 cards. If an attack reduces a player to 0 hitpoints, then their shield and hand are all placed on the scrap pile. If the draw pile is emptied, simply shuffle the scrap pile and use it as a replacement draw pile. This menial task should be given to a defeated player to give them something to do. Optional rules These optional rules variants can be combined however you like. Loot the wreck: When a player is reduced to 0 hitpoints and defeated, the player who scored the final blow may GÇ£loot the wreckGÇ¥ - if they wish, they may take one single card from the defeated player's hand and use it to replace any card in their own hand or shield. The replaced card is then scrapped. Scam: This optional rule requires the Jokers to be left in the deck. Jokers can have one of three effects: A Joker in the shield reduces damage taken from any card by 5, but has no suit. It is scrapped if the controlling player loses any HP. A joker in the hand may either be played to GÇ£repairGÇ¥ another player and increase their remaining HP by 5 (this may not take them beyond the starting total of 30), or it can be played alongside an attack card to cause the attack to be GÇ£suitlessGÇ¥ - it does its full face value damage, but does not cause any of the target's shield cards to be scrapped. Smartbomb: In this variant, whenever an attack is played, it hits all players, including the attacker. Resolve the attack normally against every player at the table. Nosferatu: In this variant, players begin play with only 20 HP. Whenever a player does damage to another player's HP, they GÇ£stealGÇ¥ those HP and add them to their own total. Slowboat: In this variant, rather than reducing hit points, simply tally up how much damage has been taken by each player and play the game for a predetermined number of rounds. The player who has taken the least damage when the game ends is the winner Shield Boost: With this variant, a player may GÇ£permanentlyGÇ¥ play a card to regain HP equal to its value. This reduces the maximum size of their hand by 1 card. A player can only boost twice in one game. The card used to boost is not scrapped but instead is removed from the game entirely. A player may never have more than their starting HP. Nano: Players may take two actions per turn, rather than only one. Real Men Hull Tank: Players that are reduced to 0 HP are not destroyed until the end of their next turn.

Drink more 6. turn yourself into hilariously bad KM 7. drink more One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Caellach Marellus Aideron Technologies 872	Posted - 2013.05.02 21:01:00 - [15] - Quote After victory in what I believe was the inaugural game of shield tank I must say, I enjoyed it (and not purely because I won) It's a good tactical game that makes you have to think, plot and possibly even collaborate and backstab. Thanks for designing it Stitch! Enjoy your gaming. http://northern-goblin.blogspot.com

Curses, though I suggest you edit history. Having it on the third floor in the corner of some Icelandic Pizza place out in the suburbs makes a much cooler story.
