Lisa: How's the board game coming along?
Mike: Great! I've revised the core gameplay.
Panel 2:
Mike: It's like a deck-building game. But instead of cards, you collect these little wooden guys called Creeples.
Panel 3:
Mike talks endlessly about the game play:
whoever acquires the most of these greEn coins by the end of the game wins. Different creeples give you special powers. For instance, the creeple with the plus sign lets you draw another creeple. And the one with the little fire icon means it explodes one of your opponent's creEples. The ones with the creeple icons covered with a plus sign let you take another action. then you can buy the green coins with the yelLow money creePles. now, this is only tuned for four players right now. i’m hoping to get it balanced for a fifth.

There is an XKCD relevant to every point in time, I swear.
The Sheeple would be less threatening if they made “pew pew” noises like Bink thinks they should
I want Creeples cookies. (That sounds awfully creepy though.)
Sounds like Dominion. You have 10 different cards that you can buy and put into your deck. They do a multitude of things. To win, you have to collect certain cards. But these cards in the deck hurt your chances because you cant use them for anything useful.

yay! I am all caught up! woot! and NPC has STILL kept its freshness and funny!

Rules? I don’t need any rules! I’ll make it up as I go!
I used to play a game called “Evil Candyland” It was sort of like regular Candyland, but you play with real gingerbread men and all the characters you meet along the way try to mutilate and destroy them in unique and graphically horrible ways. You then acted out the scene with said Gingerbread man.
For ages 6 and up…
