The Card Battle Thread

[sggg]

Let's talk about Card games.

I have recently gotten into Cardfighter's Clash for NGPC. It's the first and only card game I have -- but I ADORE it. It is insanely addictive and oodles of fun. I actually just picked it up on a lark. I was bored and figured I would try it. It took a while for me to "get it", but once I got past the learning curve I became hopelessly addicted. That's especially impressive because I don't know or care much about 90% of the characters in the game. The game is so good though!

Anyway, since I love this game so much, I'd like to hear some more about other card games. I have been meaning to pick up Culdcept II for Japanese Dreamcast, and after reading some reviews and FAQs and the Culdcept thread here a few months ago, I decided I should probably give it a chance. So I plan on getting that one soon....

What are some other good "card games"?

The problem for me is that no other card game was my beloved Capcom and SNK characters. Maybe the Phantasy Star one will have the Mega Drive characters? Please?

I guess you can include Lost Kingdoms since it's a card type game. Castlevania: Cirle of the Moon also has "cards" but probably not the way you wanted to play with them. Yi-gi-oh is another card battle type game too although I don't know how good it is, I imagine a card pokemon game. Anyways check those out in reviews or rent them if you want.

BTW STAY AWAY from DBZ card battle.

Well, the lack of knowledge of the characters didn't have much impact on my love for CFC. I don't like 2D fighting games so a lot of the Capcom and SNK characters have little to no meaning for me.. I don't care much about the RE characters... and so on. ---- But, I do think that if the game was populated by characters which I actually cared about I would love it even more -- so much so something like a Sega card game would be off the charts.

I had forgotten about the upcoming Phantasy Star Card Battle game. I am definitely looking forward to that one though!

Me neither, but I must admit I was mildly curious when I saw some adverts....

Anyone wanna fill us in?

Shadows of the Tusk for Sega Saturn is worth checking out.

It's sort of a cross-breed of Tactics Ogre and Magic: the Gathering.

There is a Genso Suikoden Card Battle game for GBA which unfortunately is only available in Japan, one of the better card games I played lus it has all the Suikoden characters in it which is pretty cool

Shhhh! Rama will hear you and DUAL MONSTAS will show up

The Yu-gi-oh GBA games are actually really good. The newest one, number 7, seems to be the funnest to play. The duals are shorter than the previous ones (like Yugioh 6 expert 2, and yugioh 5) I don't give a shit about the show, but the games are worth a try.

Another good handheld card game is Pokemon for the GBC. Yeah yeah it's Pokemon, but oh well. It's a nice card game that's really simple to learn and hey you might love Pokemon. Its worth a try.
