What is it:
The Spoils is a Tournament Card Game, meant for people 18+. It's pretty simple, in fact the rule "book" is more like a rule "page" coming in at 1 page front and back in length. No complicated 64 page booklet here! It's pretty easy to learn, but definitely leaves room to master the game. Since the game is advertised for 18 and up, the card images contain sexual overtones, gore, and what not.

You can play online for free with us....

Gimme some pics of these cards:

Trades:
The game instead of having 5 colors like Magic, has 5 trades. They are:
Banker (Resource: Greed, Color: Yellow) Bankers are well...bankers. They also include some assassins, judges, lawyers, and the like. These are the dudes who like money money money. As a trade, bankers rely on gaining/losing Influence (life).

Rogue (Resource: Deception, Color: Red) Rogues are awesome. These guys basically try to make your opponent's discard pile big, and use it against them. They have lots of tricks up their sleeves as well. These guys generally have high speed characters, so they attack first in battle usually.

Warlord (Resource: Rage, Color: Blue) Warlords are your beatdown guys. They do damage, and they do it fast. They have dragons and soldiers on their side.

Gearsmith (Resource: Elitism, Color: Grey) Uhg. Gearsmiths suck. These guys summon lots of dudes, have tons of equipment, and 95% of their cards are in 1337 speak.

Arcanist (Resource: Obsession, Color: Violet) Arcanists are your true control guys. These guys are wizards, infuated armchairs, and mansions that are Solid Snake. They control your opponent, slowly making him crumble and unable to do anything.


What you need to play:
First, you need to know the rules. The rule page can be read at:
http://www.thespoils.com/spoils/rules/TheSpoilsBasicRules.pdf

Second, you need to download Magic Workstation:
http://www.magicworkstation.com/download/mws094f.exe

Third, install it.

Fourth, download all the following and place them in your Magic Workstation folder, overwriting everything:

Choose one of the following themes:

http://thespoilschest.googlepages.com/SpoilsThemelight.rar (Preview:here) (http://thespoilschest.googlepages.com/spoilsthemelight.jpg)

Now, with MWS open, click "Tools", "Preferences", "Interface", "Graphic Theme" and select the appropriate theme, after installing the files into your Themes folder.


Now....in Magic Workstation, rechoose your Master Base in your Magic Workstation folder thru the program, and build a deck following the rules on the rule page.

It's pretty easy!

And from there, find players on IRC and ask us to play...;)

Also post here about the game too ^_^

It's currently just DeadPhoenix & I, but we could always use more players...

More pics, DarkNecrid vs DeadPhoenix oh noez

I mount this epic boost, getting my guy to 22 STR, which would kill him even if he had full Influence

He counters with 1 card and owns me :(


I win our 2/3 set!

It's really really nice & balanced for the most part, even after a new set they are doing pretty good.


That's really cool you got to beta test it.

EDIT:
Meet the most annoying deck ever:
