    I'm going to run a game of Haggle starting at 3am GMT time on Sunday November 4th.

    I'll take a maximum of 8 players and a minimum of 6.

    How to play
    'One person serves as moderator, and devises a secret set of scoring rules and prepares a number of colored cards for use as scoring markers. The moderator starts the game by handing each player a sealed envelope containing a small number of colored cards and a couple of scoring rules such as "Orange cards are worth twice the value of blue cards" and "Each white card is worth 5 points unless the player turns in any black cards, in which case white cards are worthless." Players may trade cards and/or information in an attempt to acquire the most valuable hand of cards, all or some of which must be turned in to the moderator at a specified time. When the deadline passes, the moderator scores each player's cards based on all the scoring rules, and the highest score wins.'

    For our game, since we are on a forum rather than in a room together, we will be using emotes to replace real cards. Players will recieve their emotes and 'ruleslips' (scoring rules) via PM from me just before the start of the game. All communication will stay in the thread, and all trades will go via me. This is a pretty simple game to pick up (some of us picked it up as we played last time), and pretty fun to play, I encourage you to have a go!

    I should add this game is pretty fast paced and will probably end in about 2 hours!

    EDIT: The game is pen spinning themed of course!

    I was actually going to do a PS themed version, after finishing 3CB up, but hey... I'll play this instead.

    Yes, it is pen spinning themed, unlike Eburt's tongue.gif

    You will each know some rules. Other people will know other rules. You can then trade these rules. Using the knowledge you have and gain, you will trade 'cards' to try and get the highest score possible.

    Bah, I'm going to have to cancel since only 3 people signed up. I will see if it's possible to run a scheduled game during holiday time, when people are more active.

    Game cancelled
