Hi,
I was going through my game closet recently and was looking through some of the boxes of CCGs I've acquired (but never play) over the years. I was wondering what other CCGs (besides Magic:The Gathering) people out there own. The ones I found and wish I could play again at some point include the following:
Vampire/Jyhad
On the Edge
Heresy: Kingdom Come
Shadowfist
Deadlands: Doomtown
Legend of the Five Rings
What about it? Anybody have some cool card games that just didn't make it to the success of sustainability but are still a lot of fun to play? I remember some really cool games of Jyhad back in the day, and when Shadowfist debuted (I think I got it at Gen Con 1995) my friends and I kept our roommates awake (and annoyed) playing all night long.
On the Edge I actually did some demos for at various game stores, but I never got a regular game going with anyone, although it had a feature I really thought was cool, which was that the winning condition is based on scoring points of influence and not killing off opponents. That meant everyone was in the game until the end, although the fundamental drawback was that you need at least three players to really get that game going.
Heresy was interesting, great artwork, interesting concept but it never really went anywhere and I only managed to play a handful of games. Still, I wouldn't mind giving it another go. I always thought that the setting would be great for an RPG, and last I heard
WotC purchased Last Unicorn Games some years back.
Anyway, if you have any interesting game suggestions or stories that are related to non-Magic games, please post them here. Thanks!
