• Make a card that fits the current challenge.

• Include an "If I Win" (IIW) for tomorrow's challenge if you win.

Each day we use the challenge of the previous day's winner. In the case of a tie, we'll use the IIW of the tied player who has least overall points.

Votes you receive each day go to your points for the duration of the month. The top overall scorer(s) at the end of the month will be the winner(s).
