Here is where we can share the various Scenario Cards we've made! 

Scenarios will set the End Conditions of when a round is over and who takes it. Scenario Cards may also alter the basic rules of the game and a Scenario Card always overrules a basic rule exactly like card text.

Think of these like Formats! While there are the Basic Rules, you can always make a whole Scenario that hacks up the game to fit your playstyle. These can be just objectives to end rounds, or even more detailed play that goes into deck size, hand limits, what happens when you draw your last card, and so on!

You could even make Scenarios that turn the game into a cooperative boss fight, where you have to work together to defeat an incredibly High-Level threat. Get creative and use this space to truly make Basic TCG yours and share it so others can try and build off it too!

Every game needs to be played with at least 1 Scenario Card set, but you can always introduce more in tandem to try and race to hit various end conditions or even just mess with weird and wonky conflicting rules!

Feel free to post Scenarios as text posts!

Even if you post a Scenario as a Card, please type it out as well for easy reading and accessibility!

Use italics to provide insight into the Scenario or additional rulings that may be missed

Act Threshold

Players set an Act Threshold for the game, suggested between 10 and 20, for a longer or quicker game. This is a number that when one side has total levels at or over the Act Threshold they take the round.

This Scenario is focused on accumulating Levels on your side while keeping your opponent’s Levels down, a battle to cross the Threshold first. The winner is declared at the end of the turn when someone initially crosses the threshold, giving room for the other player to do some counter plays

 Here, have some morphs.

This Scenario is Lit!

Any number of players. Materials: Each player needs one book.
Each player chooses a book they don't mind marking up as their deck. A turn of play has each player opening the book to a page, marking what part of the text on the page is the level of the card, name of the card, the ability text and the flavour text, then each player reveals their card simultaneously and the cards are resolved using a great deal of conversation and imagination. The game ends when a victor is determined by the rest of the players or everyone is sick of playing.

Give the place between players a name: ‘Assignment’, ‘Mystical Cleanup Detail’ or ____…. Draw a card, and place it between players.

Every card you sacrifice against the Assignment destroys any word, shape, emoji, or pallette on the Assignment that also appears on the sacrificed card.

When everything except the Name, illustration and the Created By are destroyed, trace or otherwise emotionally reproduce what remains and then destroy the Assignment. To thank a journalist, give a report.

Continue until all created Arms Race cards are destroyed. Play Arms Race as many times as you need to make as many cards as you need or pass on to the next gen until you succeed or start doing this with real weapons.

“Welcome to the world of Ba…wait, Main Char, what are you doing here, is everything alright is Big Bad back? I have a class going if this could wait? As an aside, I’m sorry about that huge bolt of mystical leather there next to you, I really dont remember leaving that out. Laat night was… Oh,

“You had a dream last night? The weapons you travelled the world and popped through to others to have made were WHERE in your dream last night? I’m sorry to hear that, here, let me call Dy to talk with you, they’re good with dreams and bad feelings and sorting disordered things.

“Your dream told you to come here? Dona–What ‘donation’? You said there wasn’t any coins left ult melted lava tube– With what, the weapon–You brought all of them?!? Class,

“stay back! Main Char, what are you doing, what if someone steals one? Also, I use those stairs to lecture, they help me to think and not stutter, you expect me to step over all of them? What do you mean, ‘convince’ them? Do you know the troubled class we’re in?

“A rousing sp–Seth I see you, sit! Down! Alright class, disregard your syllabus, it looks like an old course just came back on the itinerary: We are going to learn–and I’m going to need to get someone to write me bulletproof waivers for–how to disassemble the greatest mutually destructive TV tools the universe had seen fit to shed. Let’s start with… this one.” Turn this card over.

new game+⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Give the place between players a name: ‘pile of Setting Elements’, ‘Magical Moment Mist Machine with Glimmer Mode’ or ____…. Open up wanderhome & place it between players.

Every page you can’t help but stop and stare at and feel and feel healing destroys any bad day, insult, or worry in your lives right now: you are alive. Someone out there really, really cares about that and cannot be happier that what you just declared is true.

When everything except what’s in front of you and in love with what’s above is destroyed, trace or otherwise emotionally reproduce what remains and then close wanderhome. To thank possom creek, give a review and share.

Continue until all the world knows about wanderhome and the events above are accessible anywhere. Play as many times as you need to make a space for something in you to grow like an indigenous oak surrounded by invasive buffalo after a catastrophic fire – slowly, only hopefully and over time, openly.

A Trading Card Arise. Clone

A downloadable game

Makes 1-4 Spirits

Time: 30 mins

1/4 cup collectible moon trading cards (cored)

1/4 lb spindlewheel cards (halved)

4 MB Basic TCG cards catalog (uncompressed) 

1 average-size desire

3 tsps pure heart extract

1/4 tsp biodegradable glitter

500 ml breath

4 sprigs pet photos

1 word confirmation, asked nicely

Nonstick sanitizer spray

Sliced fresh greetings, sliced compliments, and pure heart, for serving

Sanitize the game surface according to the sanitizer’s directions.

Pour the desire and your heart into an invitation on discord and set aside.

Place the photos very gently in a considerably sized mixing manifold. Add any of your invitation’s replies and all the cards and stir.

Add the glitter and breath. Use a fork to shape into a deck. Don’t overstir; just mix until there is minimal separation left. Fold in the confirmation.

Set the surface of your play area with the cards and ask questions according to Arise.’s directions, except every deck starts with 20 connection and loses 1 connection per question, applying moon type, spindlewheel dialogue, basic tcg event like card level, and anything else found on the card instead of rolling a d6 to determine how many questions to ask. Serve with sliced greetings and compliments, and plenty of heart.

this recipe is based on a veganomicon recipe

Made this for screwing around with time, and screwing over your friends >:3 encourages time debauchery and CRIME

Tension (act threshhold modifier)-set a bigger act threshhold than normal (20-35 should work). After both players have had their turn, add 1 to the tension value (can be tracked with tokens or pen & paper) . The act threshhold is what you set it to minus the current tension value.

So I may have made 2 rip-off scenarios... Yay?
