The CTA “L” now has it’s own card game.

Transit Tees in Wicker Park has created the ultimate Chicago game that will seem wearily familiar to commuters “LOOP, The Elevated Card Game.”

The goal of the game has a definite UNO vibe:  the object is to get rid of your cards before anyone else…but instead of laying down same suit, number, or color…you have to match line colors and stations.  You even have the ability to “transfer” from one line to another.

And in place of a “skip,” “reverse,” or “draw 4” — you have event cards. For instance, the “manspreading” card will force opponents on either side of you to ante up a card.  Because….of course it would.

The creator of the game says it is limited to the Loop because of the sheer amount of cards that would be forced into the game….but do I smell expansion packs in the future?  Hint, hint.  — [eric]
