yup, so your total hp will be determined by the amount of stuff on you. everytime you hit someone you get to take their clothes off. range attacks means they take them off themselves. glancing blows that doesn’t do enough damage to remove clothings means you kiss them instead. if your boyfriend likes it he’ll come up with more stuff to do for other types of attacks. you lose when you’re naked, you win when the game is ended before you’re naked. ---

Cards cost “played” Mana to activate. It’s better that you don’t visualize it as a card game. It is a bidding game, and an offensive/defensive game, pitting unique numinaries on skille and the luck of the draw. ---

I have a very special Yeti deck that might still play well in a defensive game. I guarantee you’re taking off the panties, if I artifact your ass. ---

> [@Rysto](#): > > Easy. In Magic, both sides start with 20 life points. Make it so that for every X points you lose, you have to remove a piece of clothing. Yes, I can confirm that this simple method works. It’s been a while, but it was fun. 🆒 (Warning: Marriage, Jobs, and Kids can definitely discourage this sort of fun. When the time and opportunity presents itself, you usually just want to forgo the distractions and get right to the task at hand. (this is equally true whether the task is “getting naked” or “playing Magic.”)) Enjoy, whippersnappers… ---

First, you’re an awesome girlfriend - don’t let anybody tell you different. You may not want to overdo it with the sexy magic speak though. Too much and it’ll get corny. 😉 ---

So I texted him the “twiddle your bone flute” thing this morning, and he thought that was cute. Then I told him I thought he was more of a Basalt Monolith instead. He says “I tend to get a Giant Growth around you and fall into your Booby Trap. We spend a lot of time swimming in the Breeding Pool, that’s for sure.” This game is _hawt_! ---

I always thought just “tapping mana” sounded vaguely dirty in itself. ---

Tell him that you want him to give you a black lotus, and he can add three white mana to your mana pool. ---

Ok, that was a little white lie… However, I did come across a [wallpaper](http://www.wizards.com/global/images/mtgcom_arcana_1101_pic1_en.jpg) of Akroma, Angel of Wrath…and I swear to Og she looks JUST like my mom in that pic (well, the head/face area at least). That is creepy. I see a trend here - I think I need to get myself some wings. ---

Anyway, back to the lovely task at hand 😃 I’d say each article of clothing buys you five life points. You can do this anytime your life is zero or below. Naturally, you lose when you’re out of life and can’t buy any more. You’re welcome to concede the game if you want, but it costs a striptease. No getting out easy! You kids have fun now. 😉 ---

No, a little white lie would be saying you look like a Benalish Hero. And a little green lie would be saying you look like a Shanodin Dryad. A 4/4 creature, though, is pretty big. ---

If you want a strip CCG there’s always XXXenophile. Some of the cards indicate that a player must remove an article of clothing. And yes, I’ve actually seen a four player, mixed sex strip game of this going on so at least some people did it. The game was eventually reworked into a non-strip, non-soft core pornography version based on another of its creator’s comics: Girl Genius.
