* ShippingGoggles: Suspiciously Romantic Random Pinic... and a few other cards.[[invoked]]

A campaign has been [[https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/get-tsssf-to-bronycon launched]] on Indiegogo to get the game a booth at [=BronyCon=] and print official card decks. There is also a [[http://www.patreon.com/horriblepeople patreon]] for it.

* PeriodFic: Hearthswarming: A Detailed Account.

* ThemePairing: [[invoked]]There are multiple goals for that. Alicorns, Changelings, Unicorns, Lesbians...

* ApocalypseWow: The card "Worldwide Threat of Destruction" involves a [[EldritchAbomination Cthulu-esque one,]] while its flavor text [[UpToEleven implies at least one other apocalypse]] [[FromBadToWorse at the same time...]]

** Several cards reference WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft. Ditto for {{Fanfic/Cupcakes}}.

* TakeThat / NeverLiveItDown: In-universe. Hank the guard is not fondly remembered by Twilight.

[[http://tsssf-tcg.tumblr.com/ Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder]] is a tongue in cheek tile/card game that pokes fun at {{Shipping}} in general and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' Shipping specifically. The premise is simple: Twilight Sparkle is secretly an avid shipper of everypony (and non-pony) she meets. It's up to you to help her write her ships to her satisfaction; you do this by expanding the Shipping Grid, comprised of ponies linked by ships, and completing shipping goals before any of your opponents can. The winner (or, perhaps, shameful loser), is the one that can reach a pre-set number of points first.

!!Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder provides examples of:

->"Shipping is what happens when I decide two ponies love each other very much."

** One of the fics quoted, which seems to be a story about Smarty Pants coming to life, is called [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Scientific Progrss Goes BZAP!]], referencing a famous Calvin and Hobbes gag.

** WordOfGod has it that ''Of Ponies and Peril'' itself is one, long running joke about ''FanFic/FalloutEquestria''.

* HelpHelpTrappedInTitleFactory: One of Cheerilee's cards is this with her pressing her face against the card like a window.

** Cheerilee is very aware she is in a shipping card game, and she wants out.

* MentorShip: Twilight apparently has a serious crush on Celestia, to the point where three goal cards portray her dressing up other ponies as Celestia.

* HetIsEw: Apparently the opinion of Twilight, although there are a number of Het goals so it's more likely she has a meh reaction.

* YuriFan: Twilight Sparkle, apparently. [[GirlOnGirlIsHot Shining Armor too]].

** A couple cards reference ''Disney/{{Frozen}}''.

* ExpansionPack: Three, plus six Mini-Expansions. ''[[http://www.secretshipfic.com/xtra:current/ Extra Credit]]'' adds new goals and ships to the game, ''[[http://www.secretshipfic.com/pu:current/ Tales of Ponyville University]]'' (Formerly High School Romance and Summer Lovin') is centered around college age versions of the foal characters, and [[http://www.secretshipfic.com/nhb:current (Some) Holds Barred]] features cards made by the game's Indiegogo backers. More expansions were planned but were canceled with the dissolution of Horrible People Productions. There was also a special-edition "The Con Life" expansion sold at [=BronyCon=] in 2015. A custom pack, called "Under Review" includes [[WebVideo/MLPAnalysis many of our favorite anylists]], including [[WebAnimation/SilverQuill Silver Quill]]. Another pack even involves [[Blog/AskFlufflePuff Fluffle Puff]].
