Description

Mad Delibery is a Mad-Libs style fill-in-the-blank card game; you play as a politician delivering a speech off of a hacked teleprompter. Play cards from your deck of word cards to fill in the missing portions of your speech; after you've filled in all the missing portions, you can read the end result and see how many campaign donations you earned.

Story

This is it--the big day. You're confident, prepared, and ready to deliver the most important speech of your political career. You know in your bones that this speech will clinch the election.

Unfortunately, so does your opponent; that's why they've hired a hacker to interfere with your teleprompter. You're a politician, not a speech-writer, but if you want to save your campaign you'll have to find the right words to substitute in the hacker-garbled portions. If you strike the right tone and don't mess up the grammar too badly, you might even convince your constituents that nothing's wrong. Deliver the speech using your own (sadly limited) vocabulary, and maybe your audience will be so happy they'll donate to your campaign.

Now, what was this speech about again?

Instructions

Mouse controlled.

Selecting your character determines what kind of cards you'll get in your starter pack.

Before and between speeches, you can buy new word cards and reorganize your vocabulary deck to prepare for your next speech.

During speeches, your teleprompter shows you the tone and part of speech of each missing word in your speech. Match these as closely as possible using the cards from your deck to earn more money in campaign donations. When you've replaced all the words, you'll get a chance to read off your speech and collect any money you might have earned from campaign donations.
