Mad Magazine Card Game
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MAD Magazine Card Game was published by Parker Brothers in 1980 as a blend of UNO and crazy eights. All of the cards feature Alfred E. Neuman, the mascot of MAD Magazine. The object is to be the first player to lose all cards.
The deck consists of the following cards:
- 48 suit cards: four suits, each with cards numbered 1-6
- Eight "Which way?" cards (two in each suit)
- Four "Give someone two cards from your hand" cards (one in each suit)
- Four "Draw 1 you varmints" cards (one in each suit)
- Four "wild!" cards
- Three "wild! & wooly!" cards, showing Alfred with a ball of yarn
- Two "What me worry? You worry!" cards, showing Alfred as a martial artist
- Two "Exchange your hand with anyone" cards
- One Joker, used to end the game if its holder has three or fewer cards left
The pictures on the six numbered cards in each suit are like panels in a comic strip, and each portrays Alfred in one of four costumes:
- Red: Alfred is shown in unraveling thermal underwear.
- Yellow: Alfred is shown in an astronaut's uniform, descending toward a yellow planet.
- Green: Alfred is shown in a leisure suit, with food thrown at him from both sides.
- Blue: Alfred is shown in a progressively fragmented suit of armor.
