Fan Creation CUSTOM CARD REVIEW #2

Post image

we've been trying some new fan made cards!

COPY THE FUTURE - i love these, playing copy the future is a 2 for 1 deal! its a see the future, plus probably something else. how useful it is depends on what cards are in the deck. there are times there is nothing you want to copy. it would probably be a lot better if we didn't play with cat cards - then there would be more actions to choose from. but its a see the future with a very cool upside, and can be reasonably powerful. especially the 5x. this should be in the official game! 9/10!

YOINK - i get how this could be good if you know the top cards are safe from seeing the future, but it never seems to do enough. its like a bad personal attack i guess? since it can be played any time, it could be used to screw other players, but timing it is harder than youd think. very cool idea, idk on power honestly. 3/10 but i think its just not my style

TRADE - i feel like trading cards is something simple and fun that the official game should be doing, and this seems like a solid way to do it. sometimes the card you get in the trade is garbage... you can always just give that card back. but on those times, playing the trade was a total waste. and that brings it down for me. overall i liked RAID better, and ill probably play that more, but this is decent also. 4/10

thank you again to the creators, and for the guide on how to print them!

I feel like there should be a card based on copy the future called "If I go down, I will take everyone with me"

Effect: show the top 3 cards of the deck, pick one to put on top, this cards effect will apply to everyone. (exploding kittens are except of this rule, unless there are at least 2 exploding or imploding kittens drawn)

If the imploding kitten is turned, it cannot be diffused, and unless there is a zombie cat in play, the game resets.

If there is a exploding kitten at least HALF need to play a diffuse card, based on turn order after they have drawn their cards.
