My mind, backed up »
The Game of the Month for August 2006 is Juggernauts. Juggernauts is a non-collectible, customizable card game for two players. You’re the Commander of a massive, sprawling, dynamically reconfigurable battle platform. Your goal is to use your Juggernaut to defend your territory by incapacitating your opponent’s Juggernaut so your ground forces can approach it safely and overwhelm it.
Juggenrauts uses custom cards (which you can downlaod from us for free, of course), assorted tokens, and polyhedral dice. A two-player game takes about 30 minutes to play. Juggernauts is appropriate for ages 12 and up.
Juggernauts is different from our usual offerings for three reasons:
1) Because Juggernauts is a customizable card game, there are many different possible strategies. You can build a Juggernaut that’s small and quick (and fragile) or large and slow (and robust). You can build a Juggernaut that has lots of powerful attacks, strong defenses, specialized crew and deployment forces, electromagnetic neutralizers, chained effect triggers… There are lots of deck construction options.
2) Because Juggernauts is non-collectible, you can print out as many cards and build as many decks as you want to.
3) Because Juggernauts is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License, you can make up new cards and create effects that no-one has ever seen before. I know it’s tempting to make uber-powerful cards, but keep in mind that if your cards are cheesy, no-one’ll want to duel you again (or they might just copy your cards and use them against you). If you make up cards that are super-keen, please let me know about ‘em; if we get enough new cards, we’ll create a page of “officially sanctioned” Juggernauts cards so you can know what’s kosher.
Enjoy!
