Cartoon War
1990

Very odd and obscure little game in which players battle each other using cartoons. Each player maintains a hand of 7 cards - the cards contain the names of items found in typical - and not so typical - cartoons, like anvils, flying pianos, whales on roller skates, etc. You combine these cards into "attacks" and "defenses" which you then have to draw on a large sheet of paper, which becomes a gigantic, cartoon battleground. The "object" - as much as there is an object other than creating silly drawings and having a lot of laughs - is to combine all 7 cards in your hand into one massive attack or defense. This game works best with beer, but is almost always a hoot.
