Now, I may have had my head places best left unmentioned, but when was this announced? I don't remember seeing or reading anything about it... until I stumbled across the page, that is.

I remember reading something about a Simpsons CCG awhile back. Don't remember if it mentioned WOTC.

Yep. They're doing it to fill the vacancy left by Pokemon. It's too bad, but I guess Pokemon USA can maintain the TCG of their brand.

Well I played a demo game at Gencon and the demonstrator stated the 4 decks they had were all there were at the time. They were also the same ones used to demo at Origins. She was very carefull about not losing any.

I will say that I had never played TCGs before then and I tried all of them at Gencon. The Simpson's was definately the most complicated of the all. Magic and Star Wars was pretty cool though.

Thanks for that.

Gen Con 2002

Wotc had promo stickers for The Simpsons CCG at GenCon Milwaukee in 2002. The people there said look for it around Christmas of that year.

I forgot all about it until I saw this post. Hopefully this Christmas maybe?


Peace and smiles

They were having issues with it but last I heard it is back on track...I am waiting here for it!

I have never played a TCG
*gasp*
but I will start with The Simpsons TCG.

I may quit my day job if all goes well. .
