himitsu_tcg | ( omikuji 11, last chance candy )

At Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples in Japan, one will often find a site to purchase an omikuji, or a random fortune, for a small price. They hope to draw a blessing for the future, rather than a curse. Those who do draw a cursed slip tie it to a tree in hopes of negating their poor fortune ahead. But those who are blessed have much to look forward to... or so they say.

Maybe you're not superstitious, but a small offering will appease the Himitsu gods and maybe even grant you a blessing! But our omikuji will be slightly kinder than the ones at shrines. Anyway, here's how the game works:

1 card will buy you 1 fortune, so it must be a single card. You can only buy 1 fortune per round. Your fortune will be determined by a randomizer. Simple enough, right? Here are the possible results:

大吉 (daikichi, "great blessing") - 8 random candies
中吉 (chuukichi, "average blessing") - 6 random candies
小吉 (shoukichi, "small blessing") - 4 random candies
半吉 (hankichi, "half-blessing") - 2 random candies
半凶 (hankyou), "half-curse") - You don't win anything... but you do get to keep the card you used to buy your fortune. Basically, nothing happens. :,)
凶 (kyou, "curse") - You don't win anything, and you lose the card you used to purchase your fortune. :(
大凶 (daikyou, "great curse") - You don't win anything, you lose the card you used to purchase your fortune, and the next time you play, your entry will cost you an extra card. Bummer! Better tie that puppy to the nearest tree for better luck next time.

The cards used to purchase fortunes will all go into the Grabby Hands pile (unless you draw the half-curse fortune). If you drew a great curse in the last round you played in, please note that in your comment; we'll operate on the honor system since I will forget after awhile. :)

This round will end November 4th at 6:00PM EST. Remember, your candy is redeemable at the store until November 9th. I know I haven't even done any of the previous round's rewards and am totally behind on a lot of stuff; I've had a crazy busy week, but I thought I'd at least get the new stuff up. Expect a windfall of rewards on Saturday morning + other updates after I'm post-Halloween sober.

Since I haven't done last week's omikuji don't worry about throwing in a second card for great curses. Just one will be fine for everyone.

半凶, a half-curse. Could have been worse... keep your card for your trouble.

Wish me luck~

凶 Oh no, a curse! We'll be taking your card, but at least nothing worse happened...

大凶 A great curse. Augh, the worst! We'll be taking your card, and it'll cost you an extra card to play next time, but we're certain that your next draw will be better... probably.
