EarthBound Card Game in Class

Cool stuff, and the cards look like they turned out pretty decent too.

That Mother 3 Bosses card looks a little overkill on one of its stats ;).

Well, it certainly looks neat, but shouldn’t it have some simple text like… names? oh well…

kamui – the names ARE there if you look closely. They’re right below the picture of each enemy.

Cool idea! Seems funny using the English translated names of these characters to teach Japanese school children.

..and what a testament to Camille’s clay model. I can’t even tell which one it is!

Where can I get me an EB deck?!

I have to say I’m a bit surprised that no one seems to be familiar with the series. I thought it was pretty big over there, especially since the most recently game is only three and a half years old. But really cool cards. Kudos!

Wow… I’d like to have some of those…

ALSO, which one had the one with Meeela’s clay figure on it?

Mr. Saturn is on a TV show?

*Opponent uses Titanic Ant*
*I use Giygas*
*Opponent uses Mother 3 Bosses Card*
OH NOES!

I would totally play that if I could.

It’s time to D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-DUEL!!!

WANT.

MO-THER-OH!

Wow, Picky’s stronger than Ness.

Here are the rules for playing the game and learning English at the same time:

Each kid is given two monster cards and two treasure cards (not shown in the pic). Now let’s say the thing they were studying that day was clothing and the phrase “I like your ____.” for complimenting clothes. They will carry around with them clothing cards that they themselves drew and colored in.

After they find someone to duel with, they put their monster cards face down so they can’t be seen, and then one clothing card over top of each. Each person can only choose which monster the OTHER player fights with by complimenting the piece of clothing on top of one of their two monster cards. After each player compliments each other’s clothing, the two selected monsters duel and the damage taken is written down on a score card. If someone’s monster dies, they have to give up one treasure card to the winner. They then take the fallen monster to the teacher and say “I lost” so they can receive a new monster card from the deck. Then they go compliment/duel with other person. Playing like this let’s you use any English words and phrases you like as long as you have card for them!

Btw, thanks for posting this! 😀 I’m in the progress of making more games based on EarthBound, so further bulletins as events warrant!

That sounds like fun!

“compliment” as a battle choice is SO earthbound

kind of reminds me of the “Words of Love” except not really!

In Dennou-Coil there’s a character that looks a whole lot like Mr. Saturn. Maybe that’s what they mean?

Here’s a picture: http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/9/3274.jpg

this looks so fun <3
seems like it'd kinda play like Magic

Picky is stronger than Ness.. :-p

This is cool and educational at the same time! Definitely better than those review games my Spanish teacher made me play… I’m glad I’m not taking Spanish anymore, I rather take Japanese…

Pretty awesome! Good job! I wouldn’t mind having a set of these if it isn’t too much trouble.

This looks quite nice! I, too, am a bit surprised more kids were not familiar with the game; though I guess MOTHER isn’t as “major” of a series anywhere as, say, Pokemon…

I think a rule should be that if you play a starman the other player should take… say 40 or 50 damage.

How did all the Mother 3 Bosses become stronger then the embodiment of evil? I cannot Grasp that fact.

Great idea! The rules and ways to play are very simple and makes this fun to play!

ness is the weakest card
???????

Why are there two Giygases?

Nice cards, The stats are a little wrong, but they still look amazing, Diamond Dog is my favorite

looks a WHOLE lot better than pokemon

The chosen four have like pathetic stats.

I see it now… Yu-Gi-oh! with Blue-eyes white drago…

Wow! This is actually pretty cool! I was going to make something like this, but these are really awesome!

Giygas’ power level= 9000, Mother 3 Bosses= 1000000

this is pretty cool! I’ve been trying to make a mother 3 card game

This is sp… Earthbound!!! But wow this is a 100,000,000 idea

Apple kid! Why are his stats worse than Orange kid’s… but in all seriousness this is pretty cool maybe I should try this. Be careful you should put warning label on Giygas’s card: I am not responsible for any trauma caused if this boss battle is watched unprepared.

Pretty cool I would give this game a try. Why is earthbound so cool. Ahhhhh the good ol days

I… Need… This… so… bad…

I believe Camille’s would be the only Mother 3 clay model.
The junk heap Clayman.

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought they were Pokemon cards with custom names/pics. XD

He should make a lot more of those and sell them on ebay. I would pay 30 bucks for 50 of them. (:
