While searching for a pic of something work related (can't even remember what now) Google decided to tell me about something I might be more interested in based on the dossier they keep on me. Reading the description and comment on DTRPG has me intrigued.
"Fungus and Fruitbat is the weirdest card game ever invented to use a standard poker deck. It starts with a psychic round. Then you spore; then you spawn, then you flash, then you suffer the Clutch of Doom, then you play King of the Hill Elimination to see which creature will be the last left standing."

Some Background... Ken and Ugly John invented Fungus & Fruitbat back in 1978, but the rules disappeared. We used to joke about that at Buffalo as the game that vanished. It took on a somewhat legendary status as we always wondered what the game was really like. The 40 years later, Ken found a copy of the rules and Ken asked me if I'd re layout and illustrate the rules for him. And so I did..."
Can anyone give a review?
EDIT: I bought the rules. Tried to read through them, but I'm totally confused. Got completely lost trying to understand the FLASH round and it went downhill from there.

I got the feeling Ken St Andre was particularly proud of that game but I don't think he visits this board. If you post on his Facebook page, probably the Trollhallans one where he announced this a month or two ago, I am pretty certain he will help you figure it out. If you reply directly to his original post (linked below) he should see it. www.facebook.com/groups/876448375868280/posts/2103558206490618
