I had a silly idea at work today. A FTB Card game.
As it looks now:

Goal: Be the first player to achieve 50 posts

Terms to know:
Turn - an individual players opportunity to play cards
Round - when play has gone around the table and come back to the player

Game play: Randomly determine the first player by rolling the provided dice. That player deals a hand of five cards to each player then places the deck in the center of the table, this is now called teh draw pile. Play moves in a clockwise fashion around the table starting with that player.

On each players turn he or she may draw one card from the draw pile. They may play 1 (one) forum user card if they have one in their hand and any kickers. A player can only play kickers if they have at least one Forum user in play.

If at the end of a players turn they have more cards than their maximum hand size they must discard their excess cards.

There are four types of cards:

Forum users - Forum users have a value that either adds to or subtracts from your post count.

Kickers - kickers are cards that affect play in many ways. Kickers can only affect one player/forum user/field of play. There are two types of Kickers.
1. Buffs - Increase the post count of a player or allow the player to draw a card.
2. Burns - Decrease the post count of a player or force a player to discard a card.
Any kicker that doesnot affect a post count is discarded after use.

Events- Events affect an entire aspect of play. Either by buffing/burning all forum users, or affecting the play of all players.

Hosts - Hosts are an optional card set that are drawn randomly before play begins. Host cards have a built in effect that is either constantly active or may be activated per round. They may also affect max hand size or the number of forum users a play may bring onto the field in a turn.

Hosts:

Dan
Chad
Chris
John
Pat
(Alternate/Fictitious hosts)
Baron Von Badass
Chad the Travesty

I would have thought the objective would be to AVOID becoming the host.

Sounds interesting, I've come up with a few ideas for Kickers.

Faulty Internet Connection.

Choose one forumite in play, that forumite cannot use any abilities or activate kickers until the end of your next turn.


+1

You may use this card when another player uses a kicker card, treat this card as a copy of that kicker card but you may choose a new target for it to affect.


Post Padding

All forumites you have in play gain a post counter


Pretty (NSFW)

Increases your popularity by 5 points.


Post Removed by Moderator

Cancel the effect of a kicker card.


The Cos!

You may only play this card after another player uses a card with the NSFW, Religion or Politics keyword, cancel the effect of that card and if it is that players turn their turn ends immediately.

Those are great! I'll work up a simple card layout and post them later. I have today off so I'll have plenty of time to do it.
Should the hosts who post regularly also have a forumite card as well?

Maybe players should pick a host at the start of the game and start the game with that host in play, each host giving a different bonus. The aim of the game could be to increase the hosts popularity to a set point at which point he becomes the new tyranical leader of Fear the Boot.

Hosts who reguarly post in the forums could grant suitably appropriate bonus such as granting more post counters to forumites, other hosts would grant different bonuses like a larger hand size.

Here's the blank template:

And a few examples:

and a bit of a breakdown:



Edit:
I just realized I should add a "Type" field to the kicker card.

Card Idea:

Chad Has Two Copies.

Chad Has Shaved, too.

Card Idea:

Dan's Gorgeous Hair

Yeah, I had to work with the reference I had.

Incidentally, I officially apologize for all past and future depictions of FtBers that any may find less than flattering. While I do endeavor to capture the likeness of the subject, ultimately I am not a portraiture or caricature artist.

These are merely intended to communicate the idea as I am visualizing it.
