If America has discovered one thing, it's the value of cashing in on other people's ideas. Take Yu Gi Oh, for example. This franchise is centered around a Japanese comic book where teenagers play a collectible card game to decide the fate of the Earth, and with a storyline like that, merchandise wasn't too far behind. Not only did they make a card game based on the game in the comic, but they also made books, video games, and even a full fledged animated series. This was good for America, because around this time the Pokemon juggernaut had lost some of its strength, and investors are always on the hunt for fresh juggernauts to harness. Of course, success breeds imitators. Yu Gi Oh was no different. Soon, bright and flashy remixes of other children's games appeared, like Beyblade with tops and Battle B Daman with marbles. (I think Bakugan is based on some form of children's drinking game. I believe this is the case because, every time I watch the cartoon, I'd rather be drinking.) Like Yu Gi Oh, these franchises mutated classic games beyond all recognition with exaggerated gameplay and wide eyed protagonists in a world where culture is defined by how well you twist your toy.

Is this what the classics are doomed to become? Have our children grown so jaded that the simple toys of yesteryear fail to provide any sort of entertainment at all?

Here are a few of my ideas to renovate classic children's games for a new generation. With the appropriate cartoon or comic book tie in, these ideas will make me very rich. But, I'm willing to share, so if any of these ideas appeal to television producers/toy makers/rich and beautiful widows, please meet with me as soon as possible so we can discuss my future.

Pogs. In a world where pogs are the most popular game on the planet, a young, spiky haired boy named Ryo fights to earn the title of Supreme Infinite King of PogBattlers. To succeed, he'll need to master his pog slamming skills alongside his trademark pog, Oversized Dragon. At his side is his large breasted kinda on and off girlfriend Mizuki and Chim Chim, his hilarious monkey sidekick. At his back is Valius, androgynous and long haired rival who seeks the title of Supreme Infinite King at all costs. Ryo must train hard if he hopes to surpass his rival and achieve his dream.

Foosball. In a world where arguments are resolved in games of foosball, a young, spiky haired boy named Akira struggles to free his world from the Grand Dark Ballers, a society of evil foosball players who use their lethal foosball skills to rule with an iron fist. To defeat them, he must use the ancient art of Foosballdo, a playing style incorporating eight sacred foosball shots that attack the vital points of any opponent's defense. Accompanying Akira on his quest is Reiko, a girl with a skirt that gets shorter in every episode, and Pinky, a large blob creature who happens to be dangerously perverted. If Akira is to save the planet, he must defeat the Four Divinist Generals before he is allowed to take on Emperor Baller himself for the fate of the world.

Solitare. In a world where monsters are captured within playing cards, a young, spiky haired boy named Byakko wants to find the Ace of Poles, the only playing card produced for the secret fifth suit of solitare. Sealed inside the Ace of Poles is the legendary Super Fantasma Phoenix to control this monster is to control the world. Aiding him in his journey is a skilled solitare player named Fuuma, who hides her affection toward Byakko by routinely beating him half to death. However, the evil mage King Joker is also on the hunt for the Ace of Poles, and with an army of mind slaves at his command, it's going to take a lot of exciting and gruesome monster solitare battles to get to the end. It all leads up to a final confrontation with King Joker, where the Ace of Poles and Fuuma's life hangs in the balance.

(NOTE: This idea applies to the original Japanese version. Before bringing it to America, it would have to be heavily censored and revised in order to market it to children. All instances of death would be erased, scenes of violence would be cut and refered to as "noogie time", and character dialogue would be rewritten to make it more suitable for young viewers. Therefore, we could expect the English version to hold approximately forty nine card puns per episode.)

These are but a few of my brilliant ideas. I'm confident that, using this basic structure, even backgammon can become exciting and viable. If you'd like to learn more get rich quick ideas, please send me a check in an envelope made out of $50 bills.

Until then, I'm off to watch Super Battle Jacks XE.
