Penny Arcade

Who will win the Watch?

Players are embodying the characters Tycho and Gabe from the comic called Penny Arcade and re-enact the epic and continuing fight for the Pac-Man watch. For this purpose each of the players holds his own deck with different amounts of the same kinds of cards: Gabe holds 32 Attack cards, 21 Hijinks cards and 6 Stuff cards, Tycho holds 25 Attack cards, 27 Hijinks cards and 7 Stuff cards. This is supplemented with a character card for each player with information on starting lives, strength, intellect and his special ability. Hijinks are assistance cards for the attack cards, they help the player using them or hinder the opponent. Stuff cards introduce allies or objects into the game. Each player starts the game with a number of cards corresponding to his intellect. Players alternate their turns, in your turn you can discard any number of cards from your hand, then you discard all cards from your „used“ stack and draw cards. Then you can implement any amount of actions that you like, each card which demands strength or intellect for its use, reduces the values of the player for the next action. For an action you play a card or activate a card already played. Attack cards and some Hijinks cards take effect immediately when used. An attack card can be blocked by the opponent. If you cannot block it, you take damage accordingly.

If you are familiar with the comic you will like the game. Basically it is a standard card game for two with using cards for the purpose of their effects, the idea to link the number of cards to the intellect of the character is a witty detail.
