Because a few of you asked, here were the rules and gameplay of the game;

Each player starts with 50HP. The loser is the first to go to 0HP. The game features a time-management system in the form of the four Seasons. Each Season lasts two full turns (meaning each player has two turns in each season) so a full year would be 8 full turns.

Each card [url=http://i.imgur.com/qmOEyvM.png](one shown here)[/url] contains a few things. On the top left you have the name of the card (RolyPolyJoey) with their Passive/Aggressive indicator on the top right (RolyPolyJoey is Passive as indicated by the yellow smiley). You then have the image of the character next to their Season Bonuses. In the first season (Summer) RPJ gets a -2 bonus, -3 bonus in season two (Fall), a +1 bonus in season three (Winter) and a +2 bonus in season four (Spring). Below that you have the character bio (*meep*) followed by their Birth & Expiration Date and their Power. RPJ has a Birth Date of 1, a Expiration Date of 5 and his power is 6.

The layout of the game [url=http://i.imgur.com/RTx9bpM.png](shown here for one player)[/url] consists of a couple things. First is the players hand (not shown in picture) which does NOT have a limit on the amount of cards held. The bottom row of five cards is called the Inactive row. Cards from your hand go to this row face up. The number above each card slot is it's Decay. Each full turn constitutes as one Decay so at the beginning of every turn this number goes up by one if there is a card in the slot. Above this is the Active row, which houses cards that have been born and are active. Above that you see more Decay numbers.

For example, RolyPolyJoey is played into the Inactive row with a Decay of 0. He cannot attack or defend because he is Inactive. After that player's turn and the opponent's turn RolyPolyJoey gets a Decay of 1. Since RPJ's Birth Date is 1, he can be moved (Born) from Inactive to Active (the player can choose to keep him in the Inactive slot). The Decay above his card in the Active row turns to 0/4. This is because his Expiration Date (5) minus the Decay he had in the Inactive Row (1) is 4, meaning he can age four years before epixiring. He can now attack with a power of 6 or defend with a power of 7 (RPJ is passive and gains one point when defending). This is before Seasonal bonuses. For example, if it is Summer, RPJ would have a attacking power of 4 (6-2) and a defending power of 5 (6-2+1). After the player's turn and the opponent's turn, RPJ gets a decay of 1/4. This means his power goes down 1 point, so instead of having a base power of 6 he has a base power of 5. This continues until RPJ gets a Decay of 4/4 (or defeated) which is when he is discarded.

Each player draws two cards at the beginning of their turn (the first player to move takes no cards). You cannot choose to remove a card from your Active/Inactive rows so once they are filled up you must wait until one of them Expires to place another. If a card is born with more Decay than it's Birth Date then it will still have a decay of 0 when Born. For example, if RPJ has a decay of 3 in the Inactive row, when Born his Active Decay will be 0/2. When attacking, you can choose multiple cards to attack one target, however only one card can be used to defend an attack.

That's basically the simple run down. There are other cards that serve special purposes but I hardly made any of them so they don't really matter. Most of them were +10HP cards or things of that nature.

I know kiddo, I know...

It just bugs me that I was seriously just one programmer away from being able to actually make something out of these.

[quote=CatKing]Those are so sick. What if you actually made a concept and site where those could be played.[/quote]

It took maybe three minutes to make out a card. People who were featured got their own quotes onto the card. I had something like 40 cards made out when I stopped. I had all of the rules of the game down and everything worked. The only thing I needed was someone to program it and I could have made a site for it. Or if I had a couple real decks I could test it out in person. I could explain it to you if you wanted.

All of the files I had to make them are on my laptop that has a broken screen. I could send them to my other computer but I to be honest don't have any want to do so. Only thing I have left are just PNG files of the cards I made.
