Punch Cards: Official Site

Welcome.

What is Punch Cards? It's a fascinatingly fast card game designed by James Ernest and featuring stunning artwork from cool people. The original set, Wasted Lands, was illustrated by Dave Dorman (www.dormanart.com). There are also sets based on The Great Brain Robbery and James Ernest's Totally Renamed Spy Game.

Quick Play Rules: The game is on the back of the cards, but here it is again with comments and clarifications. Note that these rules have changed since the first edition! Quick-play is meant to be a very fast one-shot game. Play it once to see who pays for the drinks.

5-Play Rules: A more complex game requiring five cards for each player.

Convention Rules: How to incorporate the Punch Cards game into an all-weekend event for your local convention.

Card List: A list of the 20 cards in the original Punch Cards set, as well as the nine new cards in the Spy Game set.

About the Art: The art in the premiere edition of Punch Cards comes from Dave Dorman's Wasted Lands series, at www.wastedlands.com. Check it out! The new Spy Game set features characters from James Ernest's Totally Renamed Spy Game, illustrated by Cheyenne Wright.

What's next? We don't know. We're considering making a set of Punch Cards featuring characters from Button Men, so that more players can finish their Button Men collections for less money.
