Title: Pretend You're Xyzzy
Post by: KK20 on May 17, 2014, 03:27:30 pm
Recently, Zexion and I have been playing this online card game (title). The website is here: http://pyx-1.socialgamer.net/game.jsp

If you have heard of the game Cards Against Humanity, you'll feel right at home. For those that have no idea what that is (and haven't yet bothered to Google it), it's a dirtier version of Apples to Apples (don't tell me you have to Google that too...). Players are each given 10 cards with phrases or words on them ranging from innocent things like "Santa Claus" to more vulgar stuff like "A big, black dick". Every turn, one person is the Card Czar; he/she draws a different card that can be a question or a sentence filled with blanks. The other players select a card(s) that best fit the topic at hand. The Card Czar then chooses which card they think is the best and gives a point to the person who played it. The Card Czar is then passed along in a clockwise order.

The great thing about this game is the absurd combinations. You can get some pretty witty responses to downright ridiculous.

In this image, I was the Card Czar and Zexion played the winning card (in blue). Words cannot express how hard I laughed at this.

So I'm writing this in hopes that I'll be recruiting some CP-ers to play with us. We recommend that you get on the Skype group so that joining together will be much easier. Meanwhile, with the rest of this thread, I hope to post pictures of good plays. Hope some of you can join :)

Yeah, we played it yesterday and it was hilarious. There is a possibility that we might localize it to Croatian, lol!

We got 4 already! Nice. BTW, last time you played, did you use voice chat (skype etc.) or did you just go with text?
Title: Re: Pretend You're Xyzzy
Post by: Zexion on January 08, 2015, 08:01:28 am
Well we usually just use the text chat in the game itself.

We should do a Skype group call instead. It'd be more fun like that.

Yes! Skype it up!

Maybe I'll try it, don't even know how to play it D:

I'll need to get a mic or play on my laptop instead.

@SS: It's really not that hard. The first post is all you need to know. And if that doesn't help, there are a ton of youtube videos on this game. The only problem is that the original game and its expansions cater towards Americans; but PYX has a bunch of user-created expansion sets that you would understand better (e.g. Anime). If our Skype chats have meant anything, I know you will enjoy this game a lot.

The game cane be explained in 30 seconds. The additional rules in maybe another minute.

Got a game in with SS. Despite people crashing and disconnecting from the game, I still had the most points.

Most memorable play:
"Short skirts and ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS"
