Songfight: The Rockening

[RangerDenni]

I have mine. 3 packs. Good selection. will likely wait a week or two, then order again.

Am pleased because I got The BatP Collection - the combined powers of which apparently create some kind of Screaming Pants Sandwich. 1 me. 2 BLTs. 2 Pacos.

You got two golden tickets? Come on Dee...hold on to that ticket.....run for it Dee.....run straight home and don't stop 'till you get there!

We really should do a BatP card. Especially now that Spud made the submission form so easy, even a caveman can do it.

[BoffoYux]

I ordered 5 sets. If people need any specific one's I can pass them on when they come in.

Rone Rivendale card added.
Erin K & Tash card added.
The Lightening Shark typo index card is now a collector's item.

[starfinger]

I just submitted a Starfinger card.

The Lightening Shark typo index card is now a collector's item.

Sweet!

For your card, I personally like the one with the eye patch and the rose between your teeth. Then again, I also like 4 and 7.
I especially like Fluffy's idea of the 8-way card - Octo-Spud...

[BoffoYux]

I ended up with a ton of duplicates. Yet there are no Boffo yux Dudes cards in the 5 packs. It is to laugh.

OFFICIAL RULES
(these are posted at songfight.org/rockening for handy reference on your phone)

The goal is to put together the best Song Fight! Super Band, consisting of one band member from each card in your hand at the end of the game.

For 3 or more players, each with their own set of Song Fight! The Rockening Trading Cards.

These rules have been designed in such a way as to not mix cards between owners, but also to encourage trading. Each player plays from their own deck, but is allowed to make permanent trades in order to enhance their hand.

1. Each player draws three random cards from their own deck. Players can look at their own cards, but should not show them to others.

2. Next, all players draw a fourth card from their deck. The player whose card has the highest winning percentage goes first. In the case of a tie, the tying players draw again, until winner is found. All cards drawn in this cycle are put aside for this game and may not be played.

3. On his or her turn, a player draws one card from their own deck. The player may now do any or all of the following:

A. Keep the card in their hand. However, the player may never end a play with more than five cards in their hand. .

B. Offer a card in their hand up for trade. They must show the card. Other players may make any offer, i.e. one or more known cards from their hand, one or emore random cards from their deck, an offer to mix or play on the other player's next song, beer, cash, etc.

The active player may choose one offer or decline all, but all trades are binding, and any cards that change hands become the personal property of the players now holding them.

C. Optionally discard one card from their hand to their personal discard pile. If, through trading or other means, the player would end the turn with more than five cards, additional cards may be discarded to bring the number to five. This ends the player's turn, and the play passes to the next player to the right.

D. If the total number of fights entered by all of the bands in the player's hand equals 100 or more, they may opt to trigger the end of the game by calling "Deadline!".

4. After the deadline has been called, the rest of the players each have one more play to finalize their band. This is a good time to dump any weak players or that second bass player. Remember though, you can only discard one card per play, so be careful about hanging onto your cards too long.

5. After the final round, each player, starting with the player who called the deadline, shows their hand and indicates who from each card is in their band, what that person's role is in the band, i.e., drummer, and pitches the rest of the players on why their band is the best.

6. In the spirit of Song Fight!, the winner is declared by a vote. Each player gets one vote, but unlike in Song Fight!, they cannot vote for themselves.

7. In the event of a tie, there is a runoff vote among the tied bands only, with all players voting.

8. In the event that the runoff vote does not produce a winner, the tied played each play one more hand, followed by a vote of all players. During this round, trades may still be made among all of the players, even if they are not in the play off. Repeat until a winner is declared.

9. Optionally, the players may agree in advance on the type of band they are competing to create, i.e., best Beatles cover band, best folk trio, best jam-band, etc. This agreement may also limit the number of people in the band to less than five, in which case players may discard more than one card in the final round only

[Niveous]

Sounds good but I don't understand 3D.

[Lunkhead]

My guess is there is a key phrase missing from this sentence:

D. If the total number of fights entered by all of the bands in the player's hand ?????, they may trigger the end of the game by calling "Deadline!".

You have a huge deck. Are you holding your deck right now? Come on, don't be shy, tell us.

[Spud]

There was a phrase missing. FIXED. Thanks, Niveous!

Oh, I'm holding something. But you know I never play with a full deck...

[jb]

Ok I like this game, which is basically about how creative you can be in describing why the band you've constructed is awesome.

Will you update the cards with new info, so there could be a JBB card with 4 wins and one with 5? One with 40 fights and another with 60?

I like the idea of using "this is JB after he got that damned ukulele, but since we are doing an Elvis fight here, he brings that island sound as well as filling out a jumpsuit appropriately. You have *young* JBB there, who was just as much of a Mama's boy as Elvis, I grant you, but was, unfortunately for your band, ukulele-free."

[Spud]

I am working on automatically updating the deck after every fight. This will take some time. I have to learn a new API.

[jb]

well now, that will be pretty rad

[Spud]

Anyone who has actually played is free to suggest changes, additions, or embellishments. They will be taken under advisement. Also, post your game experiences here!

I'm reading this in a New Zealand accent. "Hey bro, let's compare decks, we might be able to swap something"

[fluffy]

I am working on automatically updating the deck after every fight. This will take some time. I have to learn a new API.

I'm starting to think it'd be easier to have separate cards for my various band names. Or at least "classic fluffy" vs "Sockpuppet"

[Niveous]

When you play a card like BSS or Gert, does that give you options. For instance, if you are playing Make the Best Prog Rock Band, can you play the BSS card and declare Glennny your guitarist?

Some deck is better than no deck at all.
