This "product" (quotes because is is FREE) is about to have a very important distinction; First item to be deleted from my library. A one-page one-note disaster that basically reads "Play Who's Line is it Anyway with whatever game cards you have lying around. In short: NOT a game. You could call it a creative exercise, but that might be an insult to exercising.

This product is exactly what i expected it to be, All 5 of the Prior Reviews are Correct :) I have long kept a deck of mixed ccg's for use as a encounter and event deck, and use it when the players are ignoring more subtle clues that they are pushing their luck, I plan on hiding a copy of this in the shelf of game systems. To see how long it takes before one finds it, and "replies" in kind to an encounter

Ugh, this is ... there is no point in downloading this. If you know what the term "Calvinball" means, and you've read the product description, you've already read the game. I was hoping for some kind of structure or base to work from, some kind of universal rule that players would come up with a thousand exceptions to -- like the way Yu-Gi-Oh is played in the anime, where you can use a monster with "catapult" in its name to hurl your opponent's monsters at each other, or where a fight between a fantasy giant and barbarian can be interrupted by the arrival of a Klingon warship.

This book basically just says "play cards from a random assortment of CCG cards and then describe how it works to your advantage." There is one example. And that's it. This PDF is about half a page long plus whitespace and cover.

This would be appropriate as a sidebar. As its own PDF it's kind of ridiculous; all of the content in the book is implicit in its title.

The people who rated this one star obviously do not understand the point of Calvinball. The point is imaginative chaos. The "rules" that you get here are just a guide to get you started. Once you start slapping down strange and weird cards and make up rules for them, then your friend makes up a way to counter or warp your cards or rules, you'll understand the fun of imaginative chaos.

Incredibly lame. Not even a game - just a single page basically consisting of "just say random things".

Literally one page of vague ideas, no actual rules and not even a whiff of fluff. Replete with typos despite its brevity.

While I would love to see the concept of mashing up old CCGs into something bizarre and goofy-fun expanded into something you could actually enjoy, this is not it.
