Lines

"Lines" is a collectible card game prototype made for the Imaginary Cards Jam 2025!

Back of Card	Front of Card

How to Play:

The goal of the game is to connect a starting dot, with an ending dot of the same colour by placing cards that form a matching coloured line in between. The lines can snake in any direction, as dictated by the cards.

Players can "block" their opponent's line by placing cards that force a termination of that particular line, change a line's direction, change a line's colour, discard cards, draw cards and/or other creative ways to cause your opponent to fail!

The first player to connect 2 dot and have no cards in hand, wins!

Collectible Card Game:

What makes this card game a collectible? Well, everyone has their own hand drawn deck of line cards! And players can trade cards they think are particularly attractive. Imagine owning a huge stack of scrap paper, oh my!

Does this game actually work? 

No clue! Try creating 52 cards like in a standard deck and start with drawing 7 cards. 2 cards are wildcards that can represent any colour and have lines that go in all directions. Whenever someone gets stuck, they can either draw a card or discard a card and draw 2 new cards. Let me know how it goes!
