Hi @Cunard, this one was created as an article in 2021 but got moved to draft space due to notability issues, and it was deleted as abandoned. I recently requested to have it restored, under the assumption that like the similarly-titled board game there are probably enough sources to prove its notability.

Hi BOZ (talk · contribs). Here are some sources about the subject:

"Mad Magazine Card Game". Mad. No. 105. July 1995. p. 34. Retrieved 2024-06-10 – via Internet Archive.
The article notes: "Parker Brothers released a companion to The Mad Magazine Game in 1980, entitled The Mad Magazine Card Game, Artwork on the playing cards and box was again by Davis; the objective was to lose all your cards. Unlike its companion game, the Mad Magazine Card Game has been unavailable for a number of years. Foreign versions of the game exist; the example shown was made for sale in Japan."

The book notes: "Mad Magazine Card Game (Parker Brothers). Get rid of cards in your hand by matching previous discard in color, rank, or message. Message cards also allow some dirty tricks on opponents, but a "What me worry? You worry!" card can turn the tables. Two to 6 players."

The article notes: "One of the best new ideas has been the Mad Magazine Game. It sold so well last year there's a Mad Magazine card game this year."
