Looney Tunes Trading Card Game (2000)

Overview

A very simple game which, unusual for a collectible card game, has only three types of cards. Scenes, which are Loony Tune episodes, have a value and color. Actors, which are characters from various cartoons, each also have a value and color. Special effects are the monkey wrenches that may be thrown into the mix for more randomness.

Four scenes are laid out and replenished when depleted. The object is to play Actors to the scenes to try to steal them. The active player plays actors and/or special effects to a scene then the inactive player does the same. After both have played the scene is removed and scored.

To win the scene you must have the best actors. The hierarchy for scoring is...

1. The highest value of same color actors not exceeding the scene value.

2. The highest value of wrong colored actors not exceeding the scene value.

3. The highest value actors exceeding the scene value. These actors are overacting.

...with the active player winning ties.

The game is good for children because of its simplicity but will not keep the interest of veteran game players. The artwork is from Looney Tunes both color and B/W episodes and are laid out nicely on the cards.
