Rules Game

A style of game where the emphasis is not on the game itself, but in the adherence to, manipulation of, interpretation of, or in some cases, creation of rules. Any game may be turned into a rules game by a Rules Lawyer/Rules Librarian.

Notable rules games: Cheat (card game), Munchkin, Calvinball.

I don't care if they bid out of turn, we're not playing a rules game.

Tuck Rule Game

1) A moment in time when the magic of the Raiders was transferred over to the Patriots.

2) A conspiracy against the Raiders, shortly after 9-11, for the "Patriots".

The Tuck Rule Game came about because George W. Bush wanted Americans to support his regime after 9-11, so he rigged the game in favor of the Patriots. You're welcome Patriots fans.

Customizable Rules Game

A Customizable Rules Game (or CRG) is a typically a designer card game that doesn't come with a default set of rules, but does come with attributes like that of Trading Card Games/Collectable Card Games.

There are only 2 requirements for a game to be considered as a CRG:

1. Though the games do not come with a set of rules by default, any rules the players come up with must be based on the theme of the game (ex: Pippin' Players uses a set 3 Red Royals and 3 Black Royals and their respective suits with either +1/+2/+3 (red) or -1/-2/-3 (black) as their value, so all rules must be based on traditional playing cards and use the values in some way (for that game in specific).

2. The cards must have attributes and values (ex: traditional playing cards do not have attributes, while Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokémon TCGs do have attributes) that distinguish how to play them.

An example is Chessmate, a card game with 6 unique cards, each with their respective dice pup (the number of dots) and to be successful with the move you must roll that value (like with a Checkmate you must role a value of 1 pip). Each card is numbered 1 pip to 6 pip like a six-sided dice.

Mike: What type of card game is Pippin' Players again?

Molly: Oh... Ok... You mean a Customizable Rules Game.

Gaming Rule #11

He who becomes enraged during gaming, must regain control of themselves before communicating with people in the outside world.

After smashing my controller in rage, I followed gaming rule #11 and took time to calm myself before talking to my mother.

Rule 34 of Gaming

If it exists, there's a shitty Tiger Electronics version of it.

Each system is essentially a Game and Watch unit consisting of a printed image behind a clear screen with an excess of static images that light up individually to simulate movement. And because Tiger was all about quantity over quality, they were essentially the Rule 34 of gaming

safety cereal game rules

This game is the same as the safety game, but instead of just touching the doorknob after you flatulate and being called upon by another person, you have to also have to name 5 cereals, all different. The person whom called upon you may still hit you as you name the 5 cereals.

Naming 5 cereals....froot loops, coco puffs, captain crunch, lucky charms, etc.
The safety cereal game rules shouldnt be that hard to understand.
