    Am I the only person who wants cootie the series? How is it that this has gotten the series treatment and we have not had a god damned series about putting together giant multicolored ants? Also, where is the Yatzee series.

    Also, I am up for the crossover series Jenga 9/11.

    other than the art style I don't see much connection to the game but maybe there's some cleverness here?

    I will say that someone better make the observation that every cat thinks they are god though.

    I have only played a time or two with my nephew many years ago.

    Wasn't there a god cat card? I figure the series is mostly a fictional creation that will reference the different cat cards and maybe the way they were played together in some form of comical context. The other style to make it in would be to YuGiOh it and that is a bit campy because then for action you have to play a children's card game on the back of motorcycles.

    I am interested in seeing it and playing the game again because I like to see how the creators try to adapt the game mechanics. It is interesting because it is bidirectional like books and movies, or video games and movies. I know a number of CCGs that have been adapted from fantasy series and have played them. I have played the LOTR, Sailor moon, and Cardcaptor sakura CCGs which were adapted from the movies, books, or shows. Now we have an iconic card game becoming a show and I hope they do it good like the recent super mario brothers movie.

    Well, it was written by the guy who does The Oatmeal and the card game, so if he's happy with it, I'm not going to complain.
