Card Chaos: wreck this page

The Ace, a little card magician in a top hat and a playing-card cape, turns the page you’re reading into a playground with seven trick-card weapons. Letters fly, buttons shatter, lasers burn, and a jackpot vortex swallows whole paragraphs. Nothing is really broken: one click puts it all back.

Card Chaos needs a keyboard and mouse. Open this page on a computer to play.

Things to try

Questions

Does it really break the website?

No. Everything happens in your own browser window, and only there. Destroyed things are simply hidden; reloading the page, or “Put the page back” in the menu, brings everything back. Nobody else sees your mess.

Will it mess up my card game?

No. Your games and statistics are saved separately and aren’t touched. After a round of Card Chaos, put the page back and carry on playing.

Can I play on a phone or tablet?

Not yet: it needs a keyboard and a mouse. Look for the 💥 button at the bottom of any page when you’re on a computer.

Can I share it?

Yes: add ?chaos to the address of any page on this site, like bigcardgames.com/?chaos, and Card Chaos starts as soon as it opens.
