Im going to be sending out "Care Packages" of an old ccg Galactic Empires, hoping to revive a little interest in this long dead(10years)ccg.
I am looking for groups of gamers interested in the old ccg and would be willing to play in the Philly/NJ area.
I would be willing to travel to FLGS's in a wide area to teach and distribute free cards and might be willing to send cards and provide on line and phone support to other groups that would be interested
The game is by far the most complex of any ccg I have ever played,and is primarily a 4 or more player game.It also takes a long time to finish a game(usually).The availlable card base is over 3000 cards of which approx 1500
or so are commonly availlable and cheap(from ebay) There are 30 or so races to build decks around.I also have some varients available to make the game better on game board geek.
The game differs from Magic in that you(sort of pick your blocker and it is easier to take on somebody w/ more "creatutes"(ie ships) there is a huge variety of ships,monsters,crew, space hazards ,luck and base cards to build from.There is an online community at galacticempires.org from which you could recieve support and possibly buy cards from a few peeps that have a huge card base.
It is broadly based on Star Fleet Battles and you build fleets and shoot phasers to destroy opponent ships.It is def a combat game but the way the game works causes very interesting table politics to develop.
Deck constuction is complex and filled w/rules but to a gamer looking for something more advanced than Magic (and sci fi to boot)it is awesome.
Id be happy to answer any questions you have and am really interested in getting this game a little higher profile.
Just one thing,If your just interested in getting a few cards as a collecter of ccgs just be honest and I would be happy to send a few cards to you.
]im trying to put decks in the hands of people that are interested in trying something new and deeper than Magic.
