Filthy Rich (board Game)
''Filthy Rich'' is a card game designed by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast in 1998. The game uses a binder with 4 Ultra Pro 9-pocket card sleeves to simulate an advertising space. Players place ads, represented by cards, in the pockets, covering up those underneath. Gameplay The object of the game is to purchase 3 cards from the luxury deck. These represent various status symbols, such as “Trophy Wife" (in later editions, "Trophy Spouse"), “Title of Nobility”, or “Space Shuttle”. Each luxury is progressively more expensive, and thus especially in games with multiple players, harder to obtain. Other than their role in winning the game, luxuries confer no benefit to the player, and cost the player money whenever taxes are collected. On a player’s turn, they must play two cards from their hand. Cards may be Action cards (“IRS Audit,” “Business Scout”) which allow the player to take a one-time action, Asset cards (“Yakuza Loan,” “Prot ...

Resource Management (gaming)
In tabletop games and video games, game mechanics are the rules or ludemes that govern and guide the player's actions, as well as the game's response to them. A rule is an instruction on how to play, a ludeme is an element of play like the L-shaped move of the knight in chess. A game's mechanics thus effectively specify how the game will work for the people who play it. There are no accepted definitions of game mechanics. Some competing definitions include the opinion that game mechanics are "systems of interactions between the player and the game", that they "are more than what the player may recognize, they are only those things that impact the play experience", and "In tabletop games and video games, 'game mechanics' are the rules and procedures that guide the player and the game response to the player's moves or actions". All games use mechanics; however, there are different theories as to their ultimate importance to the game. In general, the process and study of game desig ...

Card Game
A card game is any game using playing cards as the primary device with which the game is played, be they traditional or game-specific. Countless card games exist, including families of related games (such as poker). A small number of card games played with traditional decks have formally standardized rules with international tournaments being held, but most are folk games whose rules vary by region, culture, and person. Traditional card games are played with a ''deck'' or ''pack'' of playing cards which are identical in size and shape. Each card has two sides, the ''face'' and the ''back''. Normally the backs of the cards are indistinguishable. The faces of the cards may all be unique, or there can be duplicates. The composition of a deck is known to each player. In some cases several decks are shuffled together to form a single ''pack'' or ''shoe''. Modern card games usually have bespoke decks, often with a vast amount of cards, and can include number or action cards. This ...

Card Sleeve
Plastic card sleeves are used to protect trading cards, game cards, and collectible card game cards from wear and tear. The sleeves are a sheath of plastic into which a card is inserted. Varieties A wide variety of protective devices have been developed following the introduction of collectible card games, including the bulky "top-loader", a rigid plastic case with one open end (essentially a box for a single card) and the less-expensive simple "card sleeve", a card-sized envelope of clear plastic, with one end open. Development Once collectible card games became popular after the advent of Magic: The Gathering, new technology was needed for two reasons. First, existing devices were not made with shuffling in mind: rigid top-loaders are effectively impossible to shuffle, and traditional card sleeves break easily during shuffling. Card sleeves also became more important because of Magic tournaments: cards that were worn were considered to be marked, and could not be used in tour ...

InQuest Gamer
''InQuest Gamer'' was a monthly magazine for game reviews and news that was published from 1995 to 2007. Originally, the magazine was named ''InQuest'' and focused solely on collectible card games (CCGs); ''InQuest'', along with its competitor ''Scrye'', were the two major CCG magazines. Later, the magazine changed its focus to cover a wider range of games, including role-playing games, computer and video games, collectible miniature games, board games, and others. The magazine was published by Wizard Entertainment (not to be confused with Wizards of the Coast, which produced its own CCG magazine, '' The Duelist''). History and profile ''InQuest'' #0, the first issue, was published in April 1995. For issue #46 (February 1999), ''InQuest'' changed its name to ''InQuest Gamer'' (with ''Gamer'' in large text on the cover), clearly announcing that it was a magazine about games. Issue #53 made the ''InQuest'' title more prominent on the cover again and it had not been changed since then ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
