Random card games from Cheap Ass Games. To list a few
of the games? The big cheese. You're a rat bidding your
way to the top, trying to impress the soon-to-be retired
big cheese and hopefully take his place. In another game
titled Unexploded Cow you get to, you guessed it, blow
up cows. In Give me the Brain you're a zombie working in
a fast food place trying to get a brain. So pull up a chair
and give a game a swing.

| Hack: the Tomb of Vectra Card Game |
2 - 5 Players |
| Fri 2000, Sun 1500 |
Beginner |
|
The pizza is finally here. All the players are finally
in their places. The DM is finally done rambling about
the flavor text. All you want is the Hand of Vectra and
Ultimate Power!!! Mwa..Ha..Haaaa...<cough> *hack*
Well, that... and to escape. But when has the DM ever let you escape?
The Thief has successfully disarmed every trap in the game with his
face, the Barbarian has gone up a level by killing every NPC with a
clue as to finding the Treasure, the Cleric has used up all her healing
spells on the stupid NPCs, and the Wizard has valiantly taken everybody
to minimum hitpoints with a very impressive fireblast that should have
blown the Evil Gazebo to smithereens. But luckily, if you argue the
rules right, your mexican burro can be used as a Dwarven Warhorse of
Doom.
Come join The Knights of the Dinner Table as they once again ravage
a dungeon of all that is good and pure and drive the DM to tears.
