A Bomb War

It’s a game me and my friends made when we were in high school and never really finished making it. It’s similar to the card game “war” where the players draw from a deck and play a card. Higher card wins. The a bomb part is where an ace comes into play. The a bomb trumps every card other than other a bombs. Depending on the suit will determine if your a bomb is better or not. 

Quickdash. 

Quickdash is a trivia based game with a few action cards. The trivia questions can be any topic but vary in points. During some of the cards the players may revive an action card that has to be played immediately. It can range from simple to more difficult tasks. 

Ww2 game

On the board there’s the axis and Allie’s powers. You collect cards to either advance or retreat your soldiers.(Examples could be trains, planes, surprise attacks, artillery, etc) You can hold up to 7 cards to play with and strategically use them to either defend your country or push forward. 

Super smash brothers card game. 

The two players each have a deck filled with cards. Each turn the players draw two cards either being characters to put into the field of play or items that can negatively or positively affect the field of play or characters. There are different maps the players can collect that can again change how your cards are played. 

Shocking potato

Simple game here with the only thing being you don’t want to have the potato when time runs out. Whoever has the potato when the timer stops is shocked and is out of the game. Last player in the game wins. 

1. 3 Card Poker Slots
   • This game is a game in which revolves around luck mostly at the moment, but needs to be dug deeper into. The game involves a dealer giving you 3 cards at random, and if you hit a certain hand (2 of a Kind, 3 of a Kind, Straight, Straight Flush, Royal Flush) you get a payout depending on the rarity of the hand. It’s almost kind of like gambling… well it’s gambling.
2. Dart Golf
   • This game is a simple one, in which all you need is a dart board and darts. The goal of this game is to have the lowest score possible. Up to 4 players play 9 rounds of darts, throwing 3 darts a round. The person with the lowest score after the 9 rounds wins. This game is interesting to me, because everyone’s first thought would be to shoot for the 1, but in order to hit the 1 you have to throw in between 2 of the highest numbers on the board (20 and 18), so there is strategy to it in order to find the safest place on the board to throw if you are not accurate.
3. Match Maker
   • The idea of this game is simple. You get a standard deck of cards and deal 5 cards to all 2-4 players. Your goal is to get matching cards and place them face up in front of you. The players will take turns drawing cards, and if you get a second number that you have (EX: you have a 2 and during your turn you draw a 2) you place it in from of you face up and say “Match”. At the end of each turn though, you must discard one of your cards in order to keep the game moving and to avoid people hoarding cards. The person with the most matches when the deck runs out is the winner.
4. Low-Card Blackjack
   • Ah, yet another way to gamble our points away. This game isn’t for the faint of heart. The idea of Low-Card Blackjack is pretty easy to understand. In this game, your goal is basically to be as close to 11 as possible, rather than 21. The uniqueness of this game is because it is designed to make people upset at their “points wagering” abilities. In a standard deck of cards, the most common card is a 10, whether it’s actually a 10 or a face card. So more than likely, you are going to bust when a hand is dealt to you. Instead of being dealt 2 cards, you are going to be dealt 1 card. That one card makes it interesting since if you happen to get a lowcard such as a 2 or 3, you basically have to hit since the dealer is most likely going to have a higher card than you, but at the same time you won’t want to hit since you are most likely going to go over 11. Just like Blackjack, if you get an ace and a 10, your payout is more. The game may seem complex in my description, but it is rather simple.
5. Die Chess
   • If you couldn’t tell by now, I love games of chance. This game is no exception. In Die Chess, the general rules are the same as Chess. But, there is a die in the mix now? So at the beginning of the game, you and your opponent will both roll a single die to decide who gets to go first. The higher number rolled gets to go first. But the catch to this game is, before each turn you get to roll your die. The number that it lands on determines how many moves you can make before your turn is over. For example, if it is your turn and you roll a 5, you get to move 5 pieces. But, you are not allowed to move the same piece more than once in a turn. The exception to this rule is that if there are less than 6 pieces on the board, and in that case you cannot use the same piece again until you use the rest in the same turn (EX: you have 3 pieces on the board and you roll a 5, you have to use all 3 pieces before using the pieces you used in chronological order). The way to win is by eliminated all your opponents pieces.
