99Blast Card Game is officially on Kickstarter. Click Here to go to the project page where you can support the campaign either by purchasing a deck or by sharing the project via social media to your friends/followers.
We have been working on this for months and are happy to finally get this thing moving.
So I am happy to finally announce the upcoming project that my buddy and I have been working on for the last several months that has been taking up lots of my non work time. 99Blast the card counting game.
99 is a card game that can be played with a traditional deck of cards. I hadn’t heard of it until my mother in law introduced me to it. It is a fast paced card game that can become addicting. Essentially the goal of a single hand is to NOT be the person to take a running count of the cards above 99. Once you understand the single hand rules, it is up to your imagination how to play a full game. Traditionally my mother in law gave each person three dimes. When you lose a hand, you put your dime in the middle. Lose all the dimes and you are out. Last person standing wins all the money. It is a great way to teach kids to count while playing a game. Older players have turned it into a drinking game with shots or the person losing three hands having to buy the next round. That is what is great about the game is that you make it your own once you have the basic rules down.
The problem with 99 is that you have to remember which card represents negative 10 and which represents reverse. So working with my partner we came up with and designed our own deck with some added game play not found in traditional 99. Thus 99Blast.
Please check out the video above and the entire site. Right now we are considering a kickstarter campaign most likely in mid August but could be sooner. If you are interested in being notified when it launches (and get in early for the discounted decks), please fill out this form.
And as always let me know what you think.
Story by Dan Soto. Another ToonMZ parody exclusive. What happens when Richie Rich gets older and fat? Probably this.
Capitol Hill
Washington, DC
At the behest of key Republican Senators, Richie Rich, the world’s richest kid, flew to Capitol Hill yesterday to testify before the Senate on behalf of the 1%. With his best friend, his dog, Dollar, sitting faithfully beside him, Richie adamantly defended the 1%.
“I made my money the old fashioned way” he exclaimed in his unmistakable high-pitched voice. “I inherited it!” He went on to explain, “These 99%-ers have no idea how hard it was on me growing up with the unlimited amount of money I had at my disposal. I’ve earned the right to be proud of my 1% status. That’s something you 99%-ers will never, ever understand. Right, dollar?”
After the Senate hearing, Richie flew all Senators and staff members to Disney World in Paris for fun, games and dinner with Mickey and Minnie.
Any additional reasons I missed?
It has been a while since I created a new shirt design for my shop. This one screamed to be done. The great thing is it works whether you are part of the Occupy Wall Street (or Elm Street) crowd AKA the 99% or if you are part of the 1% crowd. See how democratic I am. Appropriate for all political spectrums and income levels.
