Babylon 5 CCG

First Post
Did anyone else ever play this? I've just been diggnig through my cards recently and building decks, despite not having actually played in years. I have two friends who I used to play with, and I'm trying to convince a third to learn the game so we can have a respectable four player game. Thankfully I have thousands of cards (already built into 10 decks) along with a couple thousand from another friend (built into two more decks, and two more almost finished decks) so no one will have to buy cards to participate.


For those of you unfamiliar with the game, it has one major difference when compared to games like Magic, or other CCGs. Rather than focusing on 1 on 1 gameplay, the game is best balanced for four players (in the original set, each player played one of the four major young races). Later expansions allowed for alternate factions of the main races, as well as the league of non-aligned worlds.

We tried it but ran into two serious problems.

The game never really caught on here, and because we discovered it late, we never managed to build proper decks. So essentially it died here because the people who would have played didn't hear about it.

Secondly (like you said) because it was balanced for four players, and because finding cards for just two was becoming practically impossible, well... the game sucked.

Also, Doomtrooper was much more fun anyway. And even it got killed by Magic. Which I never liked.
 

I have a ton of cards that a friend gave me (and I mean, like a ton - several of the large card-keeper boxes worth). He was getting out of the hobby, and knew that my fiance and I both really liked B5. We tried the game, but it doesn't work well with just two players, and we couldn't find anyone else to game with, soo... we have a ton of cards taking up space. Anyone want them? ;)
 

I'd say yes mainly because I'm a packrat, and can never get rid of anything. But then I remember that I'm poor and couldn't offer you anything for them.
