Domino Avatars is a fast-paced fighting game for two to six players. It is designed as an alternative to the numerous battle-focused, collectable card games on the market today. Instead of special cards, it uses components from games that you may already have in your bookshelf: a set of dominos for the Avatars, a deck of cards to introduce randomness into the game, and pencil and paper to tally up points at the end of the game. The player with the highest score at the end of the game wins.
A domino is a natural fit for an attack and defend style game. There are two sets of pips on each domino, one signifies the Attack Score, and the other signifies the Defend Score. Cards are used to classify the attack or defense as Red or Black, corresponding to the color of the card's suit, and increase the strength of the Avatar's attack or defense scores. The game is played until either the dominos are exhaused, or a pre-determined score is reached by one of the players.Domino Avatars is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

I plan on publishing an HTML version of the document for this site, and an unmarked plain-text version for the utilitarians out there. Please, play-test the game and let me know what you think! Send email to chewie@wookimus.net with your suggestions, typo corrections, or contributions!
