I tried to make a funny, unique card. Did I meet my goal? Just for the record I have a much cleaner picture. But I needed to shrink it to fit. Attachments:

I tried to make a funny, unique card. Did I meet my goal? Just for the record I have a much cleaner picture. But I needed to shrink it to fit. Hey Joey, If you'd like some (hopefully) constructive criticism, here goes: - The red ball (upper left) indicates the card is a Run card. Putting "Special" in quotes is confusing. Is it a Special card or a Run card? Run cards can't be saved. (Or is that the joke, that the card rule says they can save it, but the game rules say they can't?)
- Or is the joke that the idea behind the card is that the opponent with "The Short Bus" is too dim to notice they have it? (that is, after you trade it with them, they have to get rid of it by trading, else they are stigmatized by "riding the short bus"? Is that correct?
- It shouldn't be much more work to fill in unused dice boxes with white fill.
- Your card title should really be constructed out of 3 text parts: white text, thin black outline, and thick solid (not fuzzy) shadow offset to the left and up, to match the regular cards.
- Don't want to buy the Enviro font?

Thanks for the pointers. I didn't notice the red ball, or the dice boxes. I'll fix them in my next version. The special being in quotations is supposed to be part of the joke, like he is bright enough to notice the card is gone. As for the font, you are right about me being to cheap to pay for it. This is a small side hobby for me, I really can't afford to invest in it.

I had a Short Bus card that I messed around with for a minute. Only with mine, all the specials and very specials were collected, shuffled and redealt face down to the players. I tried it in two ways, #1 was more popular, but I like #2 best. #1 Each person that had specials or very specials got the same number dealt back #2 Cards were dealt clockwise to all players, starting with the one who played Short Bus, until all the cards are dealt.

Clarification: All the specials and very specials that are currently in play and saved.
