Extreme Booster

An idea conceived along with SomeKittens and several others (who I forget who they are) at NE Regionals this year. We decided we wanted to try making deck-building more-or-less full-contact. The way it works is 1,000+ cards are placed in a cardboard box. This cardboard box is then dumped in the center of a circle of players, who, on command, race to collect as many cards as they can to build their decks with. The rules are few and far between for this portion. No kicking or punching, but tackling and taking cards out of the possession of others is allowed and encouraged. After a predetermined amount of time (3 minutes?), the brawl ends and players make their decks using normal Booster rules.

Obvious dangers aside, this would be an extremely fun concept, would it not?

I think it was ArchAngel who first came up with the idea.  A card should be legal if someone possesses more than half of it.

Football is unchristian apparently.

You'll need either a lot of bandaids or lemon juice, what with all the paper cuts that will occur.

Depends.  There are three types of guys: ones that don't fight girls, ones that do, and ones that won't be grabbing cards.

I feel like you might as well just play football or something. I mean, it's just about who can steal the most cards.  :o

I was playing 500 cat fight (you can try to take the ball from, or tackle whoever has the ball) in the dark one night (not the brightest idea) and there were 2 girls playing, only one of the other boys was not afraid of tackling them, or anybody for that matter, and I am about 2 times his size.

We had a different name for that game back when I was a kid :)

And sometimes we didn't know we succeeded until years later.   ::)

Stamp, that's horrible. +1.

I remember being somewhere around 10 years old, and vaguely thinking that this word probably means something, but being too afraid to ask the parents what it meant, lest I find out it was a swear.
