Alphabet Improv

Created by: Lindberg Studios

Note (Lindberg Studios Recommended Rule): For the best experience, defeated Character cards are kept by the player who wins them. This turns the game into a true Trading Card Game—encouraging rematches to try and win back lost cards or grow your collection even more.

Needed for this Game:

• Gooblur trading cards (your collection/deck)

• Alphabet Dice

• Timer (30 sec.)

How to Play — OFFICIAL RULES

👥 PLAYERS - Minimum: 3 players

• Each round:

  • ⚔️ 2+ Battlers

  • 👀 1 Judge

⸻

🎯 OBJECTIVE

Roll. Think. Impress the judge.

Two or more players compete to match a rolled letter using their Gooblurs cards, while a third player judges the best answer. Roles rotate so everyone gets a turn as judge.

🏗️ Setup

1. Each player shuffles their own deck and deals 5 character cards to their own hand

2. Place remaining cards facedown as a personal draw pile

3. Players must always have 5 cards in their hand

4. Choose the first Judge (rotate each round)

🔁 Round Flow

1. Roll the Die

• Judge rolls the letter die

2. Start the Timer

• Battlers have 30 seconds

3. Play & Declare

Both battlers must:

• Play 1 Gooblur card face-up

• Say a name or trait that matches the letter

Examples:

• Letter = S

  • “Slimy Gooblur”

  • “Super Gooblur”

  • “Sneaky Blob”

👉 Must be unique—no copying each other

4. Judge Decides

After time ends (or both players lock in):

• Judge picks the winner based on:

  • Creativity

  • Funniest

  • Best match

🏆 Winning the Round
