Card Game

The Worst-Case Scenario Card Game

How do you compare living through a pandemic to being chased by a gorilla or locked in the trunk of a moving car or losing your memory or being lost at sea? We live in a dangerous world, and now is the time for you to decide which scenarios are bad, very bad, awful, horrible, or simply the worst!

Take turns playing "The Victim" and score points when your fellow players match how you rank five worst-case scenarios. The Victim's Wheel decides your fate on every turn, but when disaster strikes... all that matters is who thinks alike!

The Vale of Eternity

In The Vale of Eternity, players are tamers who hunt various monsters and spirits to tame them as minions. In this fantasy world, numerous creatures are living in harmony. Among them, dragons are the most valuable and noble ones, and all tamers dream of taming dragons. The player who manages to tame the most outstanding minions wins.

In each round, a player has three phases:

Hunting phase: Draft two cards from the game board.
Action phase: Take various actions, including selling cards, taming, or summoning cards.
Resolution phase: Use the active effects of cards they have summoned.

Successive rounds are performed until the end of the game is triggered. The game includes cards of seventy creatures from myths all around the world.

Black Hole Buccaneers

Great adventure, fame, and untold riches — all this is waiting for the Black Hole Buccaneers. In the game, the players' task is to collect ancient collectibles from the orbit of black holes, objects dumped there hundreds of years ago as mankind's chosen place for the final disposal of garbage. Among the 99 cards in the game are artifacts and relics that have powerful effects, as well as toys that are not particularly valuable in the year 2642, but that are in great demand by other species. In exchange, these species offer their help in escaping the black holes into which players will be drawn when the collected space debris exceeds their threshold for release. The player who best manages to master the dangers of outer space after three rounds of the drafting game and collects the most valuable items will win.

Black Hole Buccaneers is a fast-playing drafting game which not only offers new situations and a lot of interaction with other players, but also difficult decisions due to various card effects. In each round, everyone at the table plays one card and passes the remaining cards to their neighbor. Whoever can escape the black hole in the scoring phase of a round gets to score their collected items and thus comes a little closer to victory.

Little Tavern

In Little Tavern, you want to seat people — um, beings — at your table who will leave valuable tips, but you don't know who will show up when...

To set up, place a table in front of each player, then mix all the cards — customers and scrolls — face down on the table in a jumbled pile. On a turn, draw and reveal a card, then place it at any empty seat at any table. Romantics want to sit with one another; goblins want to sit with their leader; and nobles prefer to be on their own so that no one outshines their royalty. Scrolls serve as events.

Once all the tables are full, score each player's tips, and after a certain number of rounds, whoever collected the most money wins.

DOS: Second Edition

DOS Second Edition is the true sequel to the classic game of UNO. As that game's spiritual successor, DOS Second Edition plays a lot like UNO but with a few twists.

Like UNO, the object of DOS Second Edition is to be the first player to get rid of all your cards, but now there are two discard piles and players are allowed to add two cards together to help empty their hand faster.

On your turn you can play cards from your hand onto one or both discard piles by matching color, number, or symbol. You can also add two cards together to make a number match, but both cards must be the same color (for example, if the top card of a discard pile is a red 7, you can add together a yellow 3 and a yellow 4 and play them together as a 7 on that pile).

Watch out for classic UNO action cards like Skip, Reverse, and Draw 2 as well as the all-new Wild Play 2 card, which forces the next player to play 2 cards on their turn or lose their turn and draw 2 cards as a penalty.

Note: DOS Second Edition is has completely different gameplay than the earlier DOS card game (2018).
