* Steve Jackson Game's ''Hacker'' includes a can of [http://www.sjgames.com/hacker/img/deluxe_hacker_lg.jpg Jolt Cola] on the box picture. |
|||
* The [[Collectible Card Game]] ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' likes to slip Shout Outs and in-jokes into the titles and art of its cards. Probably the most high-profile (that references something outside of ''M:tG'' itself anyway) is Nevinyrral's Disk. "Nevinyrral" is "[[Larry Niven]]" [[Sdrawkcab Name|spelled backwards]]. Niven wrote a series of stories about magic as an exhaustible resource, the nature of which was proven in the story "The Magic Goes Away" by a wizard who enchanted a spinning disk in such a manner that it used up all the mana in its vicinity, exploding violently in the process.) |

** There's also [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=4737 Time Warp]. Flavor text: "[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show|Let's do (it) again!]]" |
|||
** The flavor text on the original Weatherlight version of [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=4483 Disrupt] was "[[Pulp Fiction|Oh, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?]]" |
|||
** Innistrad is ''filled'' with these. Sure, we have some that only fall on "classical horror tropes" territory, but we have some ''really'' specific stuff as well, like [[The Fly|a scientist that transforms on a insectoid monster due to an experiment gone wrong]], [[Jekyll and Hyde|a researcher that manages to transform his violent side into a brutish, monstruous alter-ego]] and [[Plants vs. Zombies|a group of Defending garden plants that has protection from Zombies]]. |
|||
* The [[Star Wars Customizable Card Game]] is made of this trope: Smuggler's Blues obviously, but also Mostly Armless and Bionic Hand "We can make him better, stronger, faster." |
|||
* The ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Tabletop Game)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' card game is absolutely loaded with shout outs to various [[Konami]] games along with other works and series, enough to warrant [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Tabletop Game)/Trivia|its own subpage]]. |
