Delay The Inevitable - Card Game
Welcome to
A card game by Jesse Freeman about avoiding embarrassing yourself in front of your friends.
> We've all been in a situation where we knew it was inevitable we'd make a fool of ourselves. Now you get to relive those moments, one embarrassing match at a time.
Perform actions, match emotions, and just be silly!
Make sure to shuffle the deck first.
1. Place deck face down
2. Take turns picking cards
3. Do the action on the card
4. Save matching emotions
5. Win by having fewer pairs
A. tie is broken by a player with less cards. Two-player games should use half the emotion pairs.
* Skip - Use to skip the next turn
* Peek - Look at the top 3 cards and reorder them
* Get - Another player has to give you a card
* Take - You can choose which card to take from another player
* Stop - Use this to stop any action
* Shuffle - Shuffle the deck before the next turn
You can only hold one action card at a time. Discard when used.

I don't have a printer, but I just want to say that the fact you made an actual card game for LD is actually so awesome.

@davide-rossetto I'd love to see a digital deck. I was thinking about just turning it into a quick game but ran out of time. I still have some instructions to update to make it clearer so feel free to DM me on Twitter if you have any questions.

Good job, seems like a lot of fun. Just one little thing. Why did you have to use the theme as the title...

@1studio thanks, as for the title, was trying to be funny since in past events people have called out my games for not being "close enough" to the theme ;)
Love the artwork, a new twist on emojis, very colorful!
Do you mind if I create a "digital" deck to play with my friends?
