[s-b] I said, we're back in business...


Ok, if nobody else wants to do anything, I will.

I play Petty Theft on Zarpint, who still has far more points than I.

I propose:

{{
__Reworking Cards__

[[Create some new Cards]]

Create the following card definitions:
{{
__Hamhandedness__

Image: A man breaking a piece of a model ship he is assembling.
Body: Choose a player. That player discards a card and gains the
attribute "Hand Job Master", and all other players lose it.
}}

{{
__Smooth Hands__

Image: A man juggling a wide variety of assorted objects.
Body: If no player holds the attribute "Hand Job Master", then you gain
that attribute.
}}

{{
__Master Handiwork__

Image: A man balanced on one foot simultaneously folding four origami
cranes, two in each hand.
Body: Draw a card. You gain the attribute "Hand Job Master", and all
other players lose it.
}}

{{
__Luggage Mixup__

Image: Two people grabbing identical suitcases from an airport baggage claim.
Body: Choose a player other than yourself. Trade hands with that player.
}}

{{
__Rotary Exchange__

Image: A Queen of Diamonds entering an airport terminal as a Jack of
Clubs emerges from a nearby one, wearing a beret.
Body: Choose a card in your hand and a card in another player's hand.
Swap those cards.
}}

{{
__Cash In__

Image: A woman cashing an enormous pile of chips in a casino.
Body: Discard any number of cards from your hand. Gain 5 points for
each card discarded this way.
}}

{{
__Stock Crash__

Image: A stock chart, labeled "B Nomic" at the top. A jagged line is on the chart; it plummets downwards towards the end of the page.
Body: All players discard all cards named Cash In, Jackpot!,
CashMaster, or Investment.
}}

{{
__Six Card Hand__

Image: Six facedown cards on a mahogany table. The backs of the cards have large B's on them, in blue.
Body: Choose an integer X between one and five inclusive. Discard all
but X cards from your hand, then draw 6-X cards.
}}

{{
__Capitalist__

Image: An enormous pile of bags of money, all with dollar signs on them.
Body: If you have Cash In, Jackpot!, and Investment in your hand,
discard all copies of them and gain 300 points.
}}

{{
__Guru__

Image: A computer terminal in the typical green-text-on-black-background style. The keyboard is somewhat dingy; two hands, whose owner is outside the frame, are typing so fast that the fingers are blurred. Body: If you have Syn, Ack, Nak, and EOT in your hand, discard all copies of them and gain 300 points. For the purposes of this, a copy of Syn/Ack counts as either a Syn or an Ack, but not both (you must discard all Syn/Acks as well).
}}

{{
__Card Shark__

Image: Two white gloved hands flipping cards from one to the other. The cards are making a loop in midair. Body: If you have Six Card Hand, Your Spoo Has Too Much Fleem, Rotary Exchange, and Luggage Mixup in your hand, discard all copies of them and gain 300 points.
}}

{{
__Handyman__

Image: A six-armed man, three on each side. On the left side he juggles three knives and a chainsaw with one hand, builds a model ship with another, and folds origami cranes with a third. On the right side, his upper hand forms a fist, his middle hand is open palm down, and his lower hand makes a sideways peace sign. Body: If you have Smooth Hands, Hamhandedness, Master Handicraft, and RPS in your hand, discard all copies of them and gain 300 points.
}}

[[Adjust card totals]]

For each number:card name pair below, put that number of that card in
the deck:
4: Six Card Hand
2: Capitalist
2: Guru
2: Handyman
2: Card Shark
2: Stock Crash
5: Cash In
8: Rotary Exchange
4: Luggage Mixup
7: Hamhandedness
5: Smooth Hands
3: Master Handicraft
2: Tournament Russion Roulette
5: Poik

Destroy 5 copies of Your Spoo Has Too Much Fleem, 8 copies of Petty Theft, and three copies of Jackpot!. These should be copies that are currently in The Deck; if the deck does not have enough copies, then the extra copies to be destroyed are chosen at random from players' hands.

[[Nuke some cards]]

Remove the definition of "Looting the Corpse", if it exists. [[I wasn't sure if Glotmorf's prop meant to destroy the definition or just all copies]]

Destroy the card definition of Grab Bag, and all copies of the card.
[[It's complicated and not very useful for anyone]].

[[Amenities]]

For each card destroyed by this proposal, if that card was in a
player's hand, deal to that player a random card from the deck.
