Collectible Card Game:

Pro: Interesting game mechanics.
Con: You'll do better if you spend more money.
Pro: Complex rules system that rewards players who really learn it.
Con: 99% of players are insufferable dorks.

What do you think?

I would rather play almost any Steve Jackson game, but particularly the one called "Munchkins." Coincidentally, I would ALSO rather hang out with dudes that play Steve Jackson games.

Slight waffle because MAGIC does have some pretty awesome card artwork. But not much of one.

CRAP!

Crap.

What's the matter, to stupid to play AD&D like a real man?

Meh. They're completely different games. The only thing they share is the lame fantasy theme. I could get a chess set with fairies and goblins, or I could play poker with a deck of playing cards with dragons and crap on them, or I could play one of the Lord of the Rings board games. All five - completely different games.

Now, "Talisman" or "Hero Quest", that's a different story.

Calling out Magic as gae hardly makes one a fratboy.

On second thought, I don't even know why I'm posting on this thread. I mean, seriously. A C/NC on Magic cards?

Christ.
