what are all the rules to the game fizzbin? it seems t obe a recurring joke in alot of scifi movies and i was wondering if anyone actually tried to write any “official” rules
It’s a toughie to Google. Hopefully a resident Trekker will be by. Until then:
Kirk: But what you’re after is a royal fizzbin, but the odds in getting a royal fizzbin are astron – Spock, what are the odds in getting a royal fizzbin?
Spock: (deadpan) I’ve never computed them.
Kirk: Well, they’re astronomical, believe me.
Canon: It was made up by Kirk on the spur of the moment (A Piece of the Action) in order to creat a diversion so he and Spock could escape. There are no rules at all, because the game doesn’t exist, hence the humorous conversation referenced above.
Non Canon: I’ve seen decks sold as Fizzbin decks at different conventions. I’ll check to see if any are online.
If I find more, I’ll post those, too. On Tuesdays.
The official rules of Fizzbin
I can’t find any of the novelty decks, tho. Now that you Ferengi brought it all up again, I want one!
Oh well… I’m sure you could find all sorts of rules for the game, since Trek canon references nothing, simply acknowledging Kirk’s improvisation skills.
