In the 6 August 2007 Newsletter, Yavn described this game as a mix between the card games Trumps and War. It's an awesome game that's a lot of fun. [...] [T]here are some NEW items we created to go along with the VMK Trading Card Game.

Released: 17 August 2007 (Basic)

How to Play

The game is available at http://vmk.com/tradingcardgame.

Objective

The object of the game is to earn ten (10) points before your opponent does. You get one (1) point every time you win a turn. If you can guess what your opponent will do next you will win the turn.

Trading Cards Value

Each VMK Trading card has four Powers (Community, Lucky, Magic, and Treasure) and the strength of each Power is represented by a number from one to ten (1-10).

Starting the Game

As the round begins, two cards are dealt face up, one to you, one to your opponent. As soon as the cards are dealt you have 30 seconds to make your move. Try to guess which Power your opponent will choose and then select a Power by clicking on it. Select a power that you think will defeat your opponent's power (see example 2 below). Once you have both picked a Power the game will reveal who has won the point.

Winning a Hand

  1. If you and your opponent both picked the same Power (you both pick luck for example) the player with the highest number in that power wins.
  2. If you and your opponent pick powers in opposite corners (Magic and Community for example) the player with the highest number in the Power they choose wins.
  3. If you and your opponent pick powers next to each other the Power to the left (counter-clockwise) always trumps (or beats) the Power to the right (clockwise)
    1. Community (Blue) beats Luck (Orange)
    2. Luck (Orange) beats Magic (Pink)
    3. Magic (Pink) beats Treasure (Green)
    4. Treasure (Green) beats Community (Blue)

Thanks

  • Special thanks to Stunt on VMKForums for supplying the pictures of the first 43 VMK TCG Card pictures.

Promotion?

Would you add this as a mini-game or a promotion? Yavn said it was a mini-game.. but mini-games are usually linked to the game, and promotions are outside of the game. Which category should I put it in? --Xiaolin 07:55, 8 August 2007 (CDT)

I think it will depend on how they link it from the VMK Homepage, which we don't know yet. But I would lean towards "promotion". --Prisoner 08:25, 8 August 2007 (CDT)

Formatting for Powers

Maybe we could have a table like this:

CardLuckMagicTreasureCommunity

Just my thoughts. --Scootz 19:05, 22 August 2007 (CDT) (Talk | contribs)

I was wondering if we should make a template for it, and have each card on the template. Then use the table you outline above. But also be able to add other features if warranted. Perhaps something like:

{{tradingCardGame|series=|name=|image=|luck=|magic=|treasure=|community=|rarity=}}

This can also let us sort the info various ways in the future if it makes sense, and link to its prize, if it ever has a prize or anything. Plus we won't have to duplicate the info between the image table and the reward table.

--Prisoner 20:22, 22 August 2007 (CDT)

Maybe we could add a Notes column to the table like VMK items?

Also, did you mean to put <nowiki> around the template? --Scootz 21:01, 22 August 2007 (CDT) (Talk | contribs)

Card Names Linked?

Shouldn't the name of each card be linked to it's own page, not this page? --CL_Haveamagicalday

Yes, HAMD, I agree. Since this is the main page for the Trading card game, the card templates used here should link back to the card page and not this one.--UpInTheAir 16:03, 4 December 2007 (CST)

Ok, I'll get on that soon. I thought it should be, but wanted to make sure before doing it thanks! --CL_Haveamagicalday

Did it all in 1 edit. :) This is the advantage of using a template. --Scootz 16:11, 4 December 2007 (CST) (Talk | contribs)

Ah nice, didn't know you could do that! --CL_Haveamagicalday
