4chan CCG

A mockup of a Druid card

Some Anonymous made some mockups of cards for a CCG with the look and feel of 4chan, featuring memes. Maybe we can piece together some kind of game out of it.

Glossary

Meme: Any card in play.

Folder: The deck. If you cannot draw cards from the Folder, you lose.

404 bin: The discard pile. A card in the 404 bin does not count towards any thread's autosage.

Ban: A banned card is sent to the 404 bin.

Sage: Any card may be used as a Sage by playing it facedown. It has 0 LOL and 0 RAGE. It has no abilities, belongs to no board, and a Report Cost of 2. A Sage counts as your post for the turn.

Thread: A slot where Memes and Sages may be played. Whether it is a Good thread or a Troll thread is hidden from all players other than OP.

Troll Thread: A thread where more RAGE is better for the OP.

Good Thread: A thread where more LOL is better for the OP.

OP: The player who started a thread. The OP post cannot be a Sage. The OP post cannot be Banned.

Autosage: A thread with 4 cards in it. When a thread hits Autosage, it can no longer be played on.

Report Cost: Any player may discard cards from their hand to pay a meme's Report cost. If you do, that card is Banned. You may only report one card per turn.

Epic Win pile: When you win a thread, the OP post goes here. When someone loses a thread, everyone else who posted in it gets 1 card here. The player with the most Epic Win at the end of the game wins.

System Basics

Each player has a 60 card deck. They start by drawing 5 cards, and draw 2 card every turn. You must post 1 card each turn. Each player has 5 threads that they can OP. You cannot post a card unless you have OP'd at least 1 open thread, or all of your threads are autosaged.

When you OP a thread, you may put a Troll Thread/Good Thread token face down under the thread. No one else may look at this token until the thread has Autosaged. Anyone may post a card in any thread that has been OP'd. Once a card has 4 memes/sages in it, that thread is Autosaged, and can no longer be posted on.

When a Thread hits Autosage, the OP reveals the Good/Troll token. Count the total RAGE/LOL in the thread, and determine which is higher. The Token remains in the thread to mark that that slot is 'taken.' Once all threads are autosaged, the player with the most cards in their Epic Win pile wins.

In a Good thread:

Higher LOL wins OP the thread. He takes the OP post, and sets it in the epic win pile. The remaining cards are 404'd.

Higher RAGE loses OP the thread. Anyone else who posted in the thread may take 1 card they posted in the thread and put it in their Epic Win pile. All other posts are 404'd.

In a Troll thread:

Higher RAGE wins OP the thread. He takes the OP post, and sets it in the epic win pile. The remaining cards are 404'd.

Higher LOL loses OP the thread. Anyone else who posted in the thread may take 1 card they posted in the thread and put it in their Epic Win pile. All other posts are 404'd.

Card Design

LOL/RAGE values: A card should have a maximum of 8 for the total of both values, and a maximum of 6 for any given value. The less powerful a card's Green Text and Black Text, the closer to this upper limit it should be.

Green Text: When a card is posted, use its Green Text ability.

Black Text: All continuous abilities are in Black Text.

Red Text: Red Text is always in parenthesis and ALL CAPS, parodying (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST). This is the card's Flavor Text.

Report Cost: Minimum of 1, maximum of 4. 4 is a ridiculous Report Cost btw.

Boards: Each meme belongs to one or more boards, which effects other cards.

Guidelines

Thread Type Changers: We want a few of these.

LOL/RAGE adjutment: +/-2 should be the largest change made for global effects. +/-4 should be the largest for a change to a single card, and should be for conditional boosts. (i.e., Furry Marine gets +2 RAGE for each /tg/ meme in the thread)
