The homie Dezlooca has put a lot of time into his latest project.  It’s called The Underground Collectible Card Game, and it’s exactly what it sounds like.  It’s a competitive card game where you battle homies with their own decks that are based on the greatest artists in the underground scene!

With artists such as MARS, Illest Uminati, Playboy The Beast, Grewsum, Jimmy Donn, Jason Porter, and more, it would make a great addition to any of your collections.  Here are a couple of images about/from the game:

IMPORTANT – You may Muligan your starting hand as many time as you wish until you have at least  1  Zero hype cost card- or verse card that can be played for 0 on first turn. 

SECTION 4: Playing the game  

• Winning the Game You win if your opponent cannot overturn cards from his or her Rhymebook, or your opponent ends their turn with no cards in their rhymebook.
  
• Increasing Your hype rating Your Hype Rating is increased by the number printed in the Rip Damage Triangle of every successfully played card you place in your Hype stack (remember, any card that you play that is not reversed from the hand goes into the Hype stack and is considered successful).  If you lose track of your hype rating, it is easy to figure out: just add up the numbers in the RIP Damage Triangles of the cards that youve successfully played in your hype stack. (All Cards Hit the hypestack if not successfully reversed or re-actioned from your opponents hand.)  
• Taking Rip Damage To simulate taking damage, an opponent overturns cards from his or her deck (Rhymebook) equal to the amount printed in the Damage Triangle (plus or minus any other effects).  
• LIMITS – You can only play 3 Verse cards per turn, and 3  Action cards per turn. 
• You can only activate 1 Pre-show Card effect that is activated by returning it to the pre-show deck, Per turn. 
• Reversing a verse or Action You can reverse your opponents verses or Actions in one of two ways: 1. Playing a Reversal from your hand  You may only play a Reversal if your Hype Rating is equal to or greater than the hype cost of the Reversal AND the Reversal is the appropriate type to reverse the card played. If all the requirements are met, the verse or Action is reversed and trashed. Any effects listed on the Reversal card take effect, then any damage in the Damage triangle is dealt to the player whose card was reversed. The Reversal is placed in your hypestack (any damage value on it increases your hype rating). your opponent’s turn ends if you Reverse From your hand or Rhymebook  2  Verse or action cards during their turn, or if a card effect states otherwise.  You are not required to play a Reversal from your hand. 
•  2. Overturning a Reversal from your Rhymebook When you take Rip damage, you overturn cards from the top of the deck equal to the amount of damage received. If while doing so, you overturn an appropriate Reversal you stop taking damage immediately.  (reversals when turned over from the Rhymebook always cost 0 hype- as a printed value) 
• IMPORTANT: You may not do any of the damage indicated on a Ripped Reversal.  
• IMPORTANT: if a verse card has more than 1 typing, I.E – Chopper and Banger are listed—  
• You can play from your hand or overturn during rip damage, Both a Chopper and a Banger reversal card or (re action card for actions) and “stack them” to reverse the 1 hybrid typed verse.  THIS COUNTS AS 2 REVERSALS PLAYED AND ENDS YOUR OPPONENTS TURN REGARDLESS OF EFFECTS!  
• If a reversal has more than 1 typing, it counts as 1 reversed card when it reverses a card.  

SECTION 5: Affiliations  

• Any affiliation your artist card has you can play cards with the same symbol/ affiliation.  
• This counts for – Verses, Reverses, Actions, Re-action, pre-show cards and Featuring artist cards.  
• IMPORTANT – Artist specific cards work the same way as affiliations do, they are just artist specific!  
• CARD EFFECTS CAN CHANGE THIS!
