All moves should be and the first line of the player's post. If players wish to table talk, it is invited at all times by all players. If performing table talk during a move, please place it after your move.
As the rules state, "colorful banter is an important part, so don't be afraid to get into the game by describing in vivid detail the insults you perform upon your opponents." I hope the chat is lively!
Feel free to ask questions. Either PM me or precede the questions with "".

Your cards will be PMed to you. Each PM will give the new cards you drew, then the five cards that compromise your hand. Each card will have a number to the left, which corresponds to the card number you would use if discarding.
With each turn (and in the first post), I will announce whose turn it is, the status of that player, and their available plays. These plays will not be customized based on the player's cards, but a general list of plays the player may use. If an incorrect play is made, I will announce it and allow the player to play again. This does not extend the deadline.
Each player will have 4 days from my update to move. If a move is not made, your turn will be made as if you "passed". I will try to find a replacement for a player that deadlines 3 times in a row, but the game will not stall while waiting.
A standard Lunch Money deck will be used to determine card order. When the deck is depleted, the used cards will be shuffled to begin a new draw deck.
For any random information, random.org will be used.
If you are comfortable in the rules of the game and know that your turn is next, feel free to make the turn prior to my update. Remember, however, that if you do not have a full hand, you may miss out on a better play.

Lunch Money is a game for two or more people. Here, we will attempt to play with 8 players, but I will play with fewer if demand is not that high.

The rules will follow along with the official Lunch Money Rules, with one big exception. The cards can only be played by the player being attacked (the official rules allow any player to play it at any time). This change is simply to keep the game moving faster. A few other smaller exceptions were made as well, but none change gameplay drastically.


Each player starts the game with fifteen "damage points." Each player is dealt five cards. The remaining cards are used as a draw pile. When the draw pile is depleted, all used cards will be shuffled to make a new draw pile.


You play cards to take your opponents' damage points from them, and to defend your own damage points. A player who runs out of damage points is "unconscious" and out of the game. The object of the game is to be the last person with any damage points left; in other words, the last person still "conscious" and in the game.


Play begins with a randomly-chosen player and proceeds down the list (you will be numbered in order). This player may initiate an action: She may a card, any number of cards from her hand and draw back up to five cards, or . Any card used (except Weapon Cards) are lost. After her action has been resolved (meaning other players have had a chance to respond with their cards -- defending against attacks, for example, or intervening with a special card), all players receive cards (if necessary) to return the number in their hands to five, and it is the end of her . The sequence of one turn for each player is called a .

On your turn you'll usually play a card to attack another player. Cards that do this include Basic Attack Cards, Weapon Cards, and certain Specialty Cards. Sometimes you will play a sequence of cards (such as , , and a Basic Attack Card together). Your opponent may have cards to prevent you from succeding, or to stop you from continuing the sequence of cards. You can also spend your turn playing Defense Cards.

When someone plays a card on you, you may be able to respond with a Defense Card.

: Colorful banter is an important part of Lunch Money, so don't be afraid to get into the game by describing in vivid detail the insults you perform upon your opponents. Don't be surprised by the imaginative things they do to you in return, and remember: it's just a game.


There are four types of cards. Each type has its own coloration, to make them easy to recognize at a glance: (green), (blue), (magenta, or dark red), and (orange). The colors do not have to be used by the players, but will be used by the Moderator to ease players in understanding the action.


, , , , , , , : Each one of these cards has a number. This is the amount of damage points taken from the victim if nothing stops the attack. These cards may be or .

, : These Basic Attacks have one special trait: If they are avoided by a card, the attack proceeds to the next player (left or right, chosen randomly) and that player must defend against the attack or suffer the damage. If the second player dodges, the attack proceeds again in the same direction. If everyone between the original target and the attacker dodges, there is no effect (i.e., the attacker doesn't hit herself). If one of these cards is , the attack does NOT proceed to another player.


, : A player who has been attacked may defend herself with either of these cards. Simply play the Defense Card, and you don't lose any damage points. See individual Basic Attack and Specialty Cards for their interaction with these Defense Cards; sometimes a Defense Card is not permitted (in the case of "free attacks").

: Each is worth 2 damage points, restored to the player who plays the card. You can play as many cards as you have in your hand on your turn. You can play (as many as you have) when another player attacks you, but only if the damage you otherwise take sends you to zero or fewer damage points.

: This card counters or breaks any , , or .

: This card is played against any Weapon Card attack. No damage points are lost by the defender, and the Weapon Card is lost.

: This card can be played as any defense card to humiliate the attacker and ruin her best laid plans.

The holder of this card may use this card at any point a typical defense card could be used. When using the card, the holder will describe a sequence of events that will humiliate, but not physically harm, the victim. Once properly humiliated, the victim is open to (and cannot defend against, except with another ) one free Basic Attack or Weapon Card from the player that played this card.


, , , : Each one of these cards has a number. This is the number of damage points taken from the victim if nothing stops the attack. Unlike Basic Attack Cards, Weapon Cards return to your hand after use (unless countered by a ). These cards may be , , or .


: The entitles the player with this card to dream up any two fancy moves (such as a front kick followed by a spinning elbow strike) and announce them as the card is played. Defending against this attack requires two Defense Cards. If a defender only has one Defense Card to play against the , then only half of the attack landed and half damage (i.e., 3 points) is taken.

: A card is only played after a card and immediately takes one damage point from the victim. (Assuming the wasn't avoided, the only immediate defense against the is and .)

Cards that will break a when the victim's turn comes are: , , , and . Until the victim plays one of these cards, she will continue to lose one damage point each time the attacker's turn comes around until she is unconscious. On her own turn, the victim can play one of those cards (to escape the ), discard cards from her hand in an attempt to draw an appropriate card, or play Basic Attack cards on players other than her attacker at half damage (round down).

As long as the remains, both attacker and victim are helpless and cannot defend themselves from attacks by other players. The attacker may choose to release the at any time (e.g., in order to or an attack from another player).

: A card is usually played in combination with other cards. A successful permits the player to one free Basic Attack or Weapon Card, which cannot be or . A also sets up certain specialty cards: , , and (see their descriptions).

A may be played as the start of an action on a player's turn. In that case, the may be countered by or , but not .

A may also be played immediately after a has been played. The defender who played the has the first option to play a card (and follow up). But if a defender plays and has no , the attacker now has the option to play a and follow it with a free attack.

: A card is only played after a card (assuming the wasn't avoided, the only immediate defense against the is and ). The card renders the victim completely helpless and entitles the attacker to as many free , , and cards as she has in her hand every round.

As long as the remains, the victim is helpless and cannot defend herself from attacks by other players. Cards that will break a when the victim's turn comes are , , and . On her own turn, the victim can only play one of those cards (to escape the ), or discard cards from her hand in an attempt to draw one of those cards she needs.

The attacker may choose to release the at any time; for instance, she may engage a , deliver the appropriate attacks, and then release the in the same turn. While the is in place, the attacker may not attack players other than the 's victim.

: If this attack is successful (it may be or ), the victim loses one damage point and is completely helpless for two turns (the turn she was attacked and the turn of the next person after the attacker; if the victim would be next, she loses her turn), and may not attack or defend herself in that time. The player who did the poking gets the first free shot (but only with a Basic Attack Card).

: A card is only played after a card (assuming the wasn't avoided, the only defense against the is ). The player using the must describe how she manhandles the victim to cause 3 damage points and set up the victim for any single, free Basic Attack card.

: The victim of this attack must make her next attack at half damage (round down) regardless of when that next attack is made. The may be or .

: This attack is an uppercut so powerful it lifts the victim off the ground and onto her back, making her helpless and open to one free Basic Attack Card. The may be or .

I want to /in for this, not read the rules 100% yet, but it seems very fun, and I can definitely finish up reading between now and when it starts.

Verily, I do say unto you, prepare for a face-bashing.

You take too long.

Also, it's ur turn in CC.

Weep not for me, for I am dead.

If we use cards that grant a free attack, do we post that in the original attack, or wait for the first attack to resolve, and then post the free attack?

You will have to wait, simply because the player could play a Humiliation card to stop the attack at that point.

For example, you play Uppercut². I will then give the victim 4 days to play, but their only options are the Humiliation card. If they don't have it, they have to pass. After their move, it would be your turn to play, and your options will be a Basic Attack or Pass.
