Don't underestimate the cards, if there is a rigorous and meticulous scientific system, scientifically balanced rules, rich and interesting gameplay, zuihou plus an excellent sales platform, the cards will definitely be popular around the world, such as Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Pokemon, Blizzard's Hearthstone, etc., Magic has even become a national sports event.

However, it was only 1989, and these cards had not yet appeared, and the first Magic cards were only made in 1993, so Yang Yun decided to detonate the bomb early and be the first person to eat crabs in the market.

The Three Kingdoms Kill card actually follows a card rule, and the originator of this card game idea is a western cowboy-style game called "Bang!" that is popular in the United States.

Sheriff (lord), deputy sheriff (loyal minister), traitor (traitor), gangster (anti-thief), the weapons used, the actions performed, are basically the same, Bang = kill, Missed = flash, beer = peach, Indian invasion = Nanban invasion, etc.

Released in 2002, the game won the 2003 World's Best Traditional Card Game and Best Card Design awards, making it an enduring classic of tabletop card games.

Games such as Three Kingdoms Kill and Pirate Kill are drawing on Bang! The essence of the rules, and after appropriate changes, it is given a specific range of background stories, localized, interesting, and reinterpreted to make a classic.

This is the same as the dark please close your eyes that will be popular all shijie in the future, all under a certain rule, after rational and balanced design, the reproduced group gameplay, is a test of intelligence and mental strength, a game that competes for eloquence and reasoning ability, and is very popular with high-IQ players.

It's just that the background of the story of the Three Kingdoms Killing may not meet international requirements, so Yang Yun hopes to cooperate with the Parker brothers to jointly launch this "Bang! >> game cards, and promote it to all shijie, so that "Bang! These games have become popular games for high-IQ people, and then bundled sales of the Three Kingdoms, with more advanced and more exciting gameplay, so that the Three Kingdoms Kill is hot, and I don't know how to feel the recognition of the players, which can also play a role in promoting the culture of the Three Kingdoms.

The most haode idea is that the game "Please Close Your Eyes When It's Dark" has swept the world, and "Bang! >> Card games became popular, after everyone was familiar with the rules, more fun, more expansion packs, richer content of the Three Kingdoms cards, bundled sales of the Dragon Teng Three Kingdoms game and Yi Zhong Tianpin Three Kingdoms as the Three Kingdoms strategy, who will not play the Three Kingdoms, let whoever play the Dragon Teng Three Kingdoms first, read Yi Zhong Tianpin's book of the Three Kingdoms.

A science student at Princeton University can't understand Liu Bei's benevolent and virtuous card function, so let's study the Three Kingdoms!

An MBA from Cambridge University doesn't understand Zhang Fei's roaring infinite killing skills, study the Three Kingdoms!

A Munich car designer does not know that Weishenme Hua Tuo's peach can save his life, study the Three Kingdoms to go!

So since there is such a good opportunity, "Bang! and the Three Kingdoms Kill card game, Yang Yun must not miss it, as for whether the Three Kingdoms Kill can succeed in the end, anyway, let's talk about it, try it, he will not lose it.

Yang Yun didn't simply find a paper mill in China, bought a few cutting machines, and began to print a full set of 265 cards for the Three Kingdoms, and did not panic General Zhang Lin Huoshan took out these expansion packs to print, just didn't want the bad domestic environment to spoil this game.

What he wants is a high starting point, either he doesn't make cards, or he wants to do shijie best, leading the shijie trend!

It's a pity that George Parker isn't interested......

it! Or this damn political killing! Yang Yun thought indignantly.

It's not a thing to be so silent all the time, Alexei asked in a low voice, "Are you going to set up a joint venture with him to set up a factory in the United States?" ”

A flash of inspiration!

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Yes! Blockade China, then I will come to the United States to set up a factory!

At first, I always wanted to set up a factory in China, because the domestic land is cheap, the labor cost is low, the salary is low, and the profit is high.

As a result, I set a formula for myself, as if I had to set up a factory in China.

Yang Yun smiled, the US blockade is a matter of this year and a half, and when China and the United States visit each other's leaders, the trade between the two sides does not know how diligent it is, and then the factory will be relocated to China, just a time difference!

Yang Yun smiled: "Mr. Parker, maybe I made a mistake. I was asking, would the Parker brothers be willing to accept a Chinese partner? ”

George Parker's brows relaxed, this is the most correct thing to do!

"I wonder if Mr. Yang has any suggestions?"

"How about we invest in a factory together to produce killer game cards?"

Bang！ and the concept and rules of the Three Kingdoms, before Yang Yun came to the United States, he contacted Alexey's lawyer friend in Hong Kong and applied for the registration of patent protection for this kind of card game, and by the way, he also applied for the game copyright of the game when it was dark.

The rules of the game are very special, the number of identity cards in this game is not much, the important thing is that the new and innovative game rules can be promoted through the Parker brothers' game brochure and other offline methods, Yang Yun can only have the copyright, you can define the name, but if you want to make an exclusive profit, it is impossible.

In real history, it was not until the 90s that someone successively summarized the rules of the killing game and spread it on a small scale, so Yang Yun was not worried that there would be infringements, and he was properly pocketed in advance.

Borrowing the venue and tools of the Downey Toy Store, Yang Yun made a stack of simple cards on the spot, and held a live game in the Downey Toy Store in the most popular 12-person standard 3 cops and 3 killers.

Judges, Police, Killers, Civilians, Charge, Vote, Kill, Out!

It's a new game like I've never seen before, and hearing these exciting keywords has made the staff at Downey Toy Store and some of the curious customers very interested.

Yang Yun assumed the role of a judge, organized a manpower, and publicly explained the rules of the game.

It is not difficult to close your eyes when it is dark, but the difficulty lies in whether the player cooperates, whether the judge can control the big scene, and it is absolutely fair to ensure that there will be no mistakes during the game.

Fortunately, the invited staff and customers were high-quality people, and with the participation of high-profile characters such as George Parker and Downey, the game went smoothly.

After drawing cards, according to the rules of the game, Alexei became a killer, George Parker and Donnie were both policemen, and under the command of Yang Yun, everyone entered the state, very qualified, and listened to the command.

The first time I played, the police side who cooperated tacitly won the victory, and Alexey was the first to be arrested early, making a lot of jokes.

It's almost enough to show it here, there are some things that everyone knows very well, George Parker is such a shrewd character, and he has long seen the huge market prospects of this game.

The three of them sat down again, and George Parker smiled and asked, "This game is fun, and if it is promoted vigorously, more people should fall in love with it." But what about the pure card type battle game that Mr. Yang said? ”

Yang Yun smiled mysteriously: "I have two other more interesting card games, as long as Mr. Parker agrees to accept me as a Chinese partner, I will tell you the truth!" ”

George Parker Daxiao: "Can I refuse?" Yang, no matter what we talk about today, you have to crown the hat of the Chancellor on my head! I think I'm hooked on this game! ”

Yang Yun said with a smile: "Why don't I make Downey Toy Store my own stage in the past few days in the United States?" ”

George Parker turned his head exaggeratedly and shouted, "Donnie! You've won the U.S. Super Lotto! ”

……

……

After five days, Alexey still hasn't heard from Nintendo, he is already desperate, Nintendo must have rejected KTT's unreasonable demands!

"Damn! Although you are the boss, there is also my interest in it! Alexei came to Donnie's toy store in a rage, and he decided to let Yang Yun learn a lesson from his hubris!

Fifth Avenue is a famous shopping street, and Downey Toy Store is in the golden mile, with Disney and Hasbro cartoon characters on sale in front of the store every day, which is very popular with women and children.

But today, Alexei noticed something different, hundreds of young people lined up in front of Donnie's toy store, blocking most of the street!

Everyone was talking excitedly, looking at the freckles on their faces, the high-count glasses that many people were wearing, and the words killer, judge and other words popping out of their mouths, arguing a few words from time to time.

"What are you waiting in line for?" Alexey is not so sure.

A few boys looked surprised and asked, "You don't know?" Of course, buy a killer game commemorative package! In all of New York, this is the only Downey toy store that sells it, and it teaches you how to play! ”

"There was a whirlwind of murder in New York, and all the universities spread it! Almost everyone at Columbia University is talking about it! ”

"It's the same at NYU, but only a few of us can play a little bit of fur, and I must learn it today!"

A male voice came in next to him: "It's not just New York, I'm from MIT!" This kind of high-IQ game, of course, is worth our research! ”

"Really? You MIT have also heard about this game? So Harvard should know that too, right? It looks like this is really a game that only high-IQ people play! ”

"I'm going to get a limited collector's edition pack! Killing games are sure to be the most classic high-IQ games in history! ”

“……”

Alexei finally understood that in just five days, I don't know what means Yang Yun and George used to spread the killing game to many Ivy League universities, and successfully advertised it as a game only played by high-IQ people, which was sought after by countless college students!

Walking into the Donnie toy store, Alexei saw Yang Yunzheng and the owner Donnie, sitting at two large square tables, leading a group of customers to play the game when it gets dark and close their eyes.

Different from normal games, most of the people who were killed opened their eyes with great interest, watching Yang Yun preside over the game, and at the critical moment, they would show a sudden expression of enlightenment, and they had a deeper understanding of the rules.

Every customer who feels that they have learned will buy a limited collector's edition promotional bag in the toy store.

This limited-edition commemorative pack not only contains a detailed introduction to the rules of the game, but also exquisite murder gifts, identity masks, patrol whistles, accomplice communicators and other peripheral products specially prepared by the Parker brothers.

And inside the pack, the Parker Brothers Company has left a hint that during the Christmas season, they may launch a new card game that is more exciting and fun than closing your eyes when it gets dark, which makes buyers look forward to it!

There's a counting board at the checkout counter that shows that 35,830 copies of the $20 limited collector's edition pack have been sold, for a total of $716,600!

It's just a limited collector's edition bundle that contributed $710,000 in sales! Alexei was silent, but he knew that this had just begun, and before Yang Yun negotiated cooperation with Parker Brothers, Parker Brothers had not started to exert any force at all!

When the table was over, the ten college students stood up, shook hands with Downey with a smile, hugged them, and ran to the cashier to pay for them.

After the cashier handed the gift bag, she erased the numbers on the counting board, and at Downey's instructions, wrote a new line: "Limited to 50,000 copies!" 14160 servings left! ”

"What? Will weishenme be limited? "A tall college student was in a hurry.

The female clerk smiled and replied, "Of course the limited edition will be limited." There are 14,160 copies left, so there are not many! Maybe they will all be sold out today! ”

Alexei thinks that Donnie's clerk really grasps the psychology of customers, and these numbers are all hinting that it is too late to buy it soon, if you don't buy it again.

But there are more than 10,000 copies left, how can it be sold out in one day! Alexey was completely unconvinced.

The tall boy was also a little unconvinced, and asked hesitantly, "Can I bring one for my roommate?" ”

The clerk shook his head: "Sorry, customers have to buy in person, all Downey toy stores in the country have this rule, so as to ensure fairness." ”

"Jane! Princeton booked 530 copies! A clerk ran out of the inner room and shouted to the cashier.

The cashier Jane replied, and then revised the statistics board number again, and the remaining amount became 13630, which stunned the hesitant boy.

"It's not fair! Weishenme Princeton University can be booked? We at Columbia University are also Ivy League! ”

"That's right! It's not allowed to be taken away, what is the rule? weishenme can others buy 530 copies? ”

"You can't do that, it's discrimination!"

A group of students who had not yet left gathered around and protested loudly.

Downey walked over and reassured, "This is an order from Princeton's Downey Toy Store, not Princeton University." That's just to say that there are already 530 Princeton customers who have participated in the local Dark Close Your Eyes game experience. However, among the Downey toy stores in the country, only the New York headquarters has the goods, so customers from other places can only make reservations by phone, and we will ship them there tomorrow. ”

"Jane! The University of Pennsylvania booked 954! The annoying caller ran out again, and Jane, the cashier, unhurried, wiped off the counting board, and the number became 12,676.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Downey said lightly: "Maybe you don't know, the limited edition gift pack has been on sale since this morning, we have ordered 20,000 copies at the Downey toy store in San Francisco, the engineers at Caltech and Silicon Valley, they love this game very much, and even Jobs and Bill Gates are asking me for it!" ”

Before the voice fell, the caller came again: "Jane! Princeton adds 190 copies! Their store door was about to be trampled down by those students! ”

Downey took matters into his hands to change the number to 12486 and shouted, "Let those Princeton guys stop selling!" Leave a little more for our New York kids! ”

The phone was stunned, and he agreed and turned to leave, because the damn ringing is here again!

Jane looked at the group of college students in a daze, and said with a smile: "What are you still stunned about?" Tell your classmates to come quickly! It's really out of stock! ”

Wow!

A group of students frantically ran out of the door looking for a pay phone, rushing the unknown queue inexplicably, and Donnie and his clerks laughed so happily that they high-fived each other in celebration!

Yang ...... You're such a madman...... What a genius too! Alexei couldn't comment on it, he shook his head at his partner, the young boss, and couldn't raise the courage to argue anymore.
