I've posted this before, but in the light of Luther's card game idea (incidentally, great concept - sorry I didn't actually post in the thread, but I couldn't really think of anything better to say than "nice idea!") I thought I'd repost the good ol' "Full Random Wormage"

2 to 6 players

You Will Need:

Worms World Party (or Worms Armageddon with 100% unlocked)
A standard d6 die
A d12 (available from all good gaming shops)
Some friends who are not adverse to a spot of hot-seat Worming.

Rules:

1. Start a game with the Full Wormage scheme.

2. The first peson to go rolls the d12. This chooses which function key row your weapon will come from.

3. Then roll the d6 to choose the weapon on that row. Six is a "row wildcard", allowing you to choose any weapon from that row.

EXAMPLES:

Rolling a 1 and then a 4 (1, 4): Homing Pigeon
(6, 2): Napalm Strike
(11, 3): Concrete Donkey
(3, 6): Any weapon from the F3 row (Shotgun, Handgun, Uzi, Minigun, Longbow)

4. Suicide Bomber (4, 4) and Surrender (12, 2) are "full wildcards", allowing you to choose any weapon. However, Kamikaze (4, 3) and Skip Go (12, 1) must be used. Yes, even if it's your last worm.

5. Weapons on the F8 row have a special rule: you can choose to use the F8 weapon, OR the corresponding utility. E.g. (8, 1) can be Ninja Rope OR Jetpack, (8, 2) Bungee OR Low Gravity, and so on. (8, 6) allows you to use any of the nine weapons/utilities on the F8 and Util. rows). (8, 5) is a special case: as this is a hot-seat game, there is no Invisibility. However, the Scales of Justice are pretty impressive in their own right, so there we go. You also get to roll again, given the non-turn-ending nature of most of these.

6. Any deliberate attempt to avoid using a weapon either by waiting for the time to run out or incurring a minor injury from a fall or a mine results in forefitting the round (Reasonable accidents such as simply running out of time while performing a complex manoeuvre are permitted).

7. After the end of the turn, the next player goes through the same process.

8. Continue until you have a winner!

I think this needs to get hardcoded into WA game so you can play online too (without having the ability to punch your opponent).

When/if WA gets a WormPot mode, only being able to use a random weapon from your inventory for that turn would be superb. Then, you wouldn't just need to use the Full Wormage.

Still, this is an ace idea, I might try it.

Why crap?
You'd choose the surrender, which is a full wildcard.

What should you do if you are in a cavern and roll a row 6? Or you have 1 worm so Worm Select dissapears and then roll 12,5? I assume you just roll again. Also, the rules state that you must use your weapon, but what if you get a prod and can't physically reach an enemy? I take it you just need to waste your weapon. The number of times my worm has had to kill himself because he's trapped in a hole and gets a ming vase. Still it's all part of the fun.
