Yu-gi-oh cards. Playing all 5 parts of Exodia results in an immediate win. Things were simpler back then.
All I know about the game came from watching the first season (arc?) and a coworker who tried to explain newer things. I feel like you could earn a doctorate in the game with the convoluted rules. Need a magnifying glass for reading the text on the cards anymore.
i only ever saw that one arc as well, what has apparently later been dubbed "season zero" because there wasn't any card games in it. that was something they apparently came up with on the fly and it just stuck around. the writers didn't know anything about tcgs so the rules make no sense.
that first season is wild though, with the protagonist just challenging bad people to random games of chance with gruesome outcomes like "because you are greedy, i challenge you to stab through this wad of cash lying on top of your hand. you get to keep every dollar you pick up but if you're too greedy you'll nail your hand to the table"
Don't worry, the first season is basicly a fantasy show, you literaly can target a part of card to make it crash..
As a magic player: Urza would like to welcome you to 1998, enjoy Combo Winter.
(this was hilarious)
You don't have to play them, all five have to be in your hand to trigger the win condition. You just reveal them once you have them all (and there's no current "chain" of plays in effect)
It sounds more powerful than it actually was. Hand limit was 7, so you'd be sacrificing up to more than half your hand size for a small chance at an instant win. That plus a lack of consistent draw in Yu-Gi-Oh, it was basically a crap shoot. If you ran an Exodia condition deck, you'd maybe win 1/3 times.
Gracias amigo!

Not much, what's Exodia with you?
Yeah his website doesn’t seem like a good place to get updates, Tapas tends to stay up to date and has his bonus panels, though:
A gambler? ... PERRY THE GAMBLER??
