    Hot dam this game is a glorious chaotic mess and I am totally here for it. It's fascinating how well it executes its theme, which should be impossible to get accross. But you get all the aspects of being a pro-CCG player or the hero of a card playing tv show, all nicely bound into a pretty complex, but not overwhelmingly so game. Using the simulation approach to the tournaments was the key, keeping it to 6 card plays that matter is perfect. What a neat game and i wish i could play it a lot more than i do.

    L99 isn't always perfect but they're the masters of making games that are absolutely packed with content. Even smaller games of theirs like Pixel Tactics feel like they crammed as much as they could into a game that costs $10.

    I bought this game not too long ago with several of the expansions and I have not been even slightly disappointed since! This game is everything I could have ever wanted in a board/card game and it gives you the same feel as playing a full blown tcg without any of the the regret that comes with tcgs and blowing hundreds of dollars on booster packs and singles 😆! Definitely worth every cent if you want something challenging and unique to add to your collection that you and some dedicated friends can bust out.

    Great review Jarrod! I generally avoid games that require me to negotiate with other players but this game might work if I can only trade a card for equal value. Then maybe it becomes a win-win transaction. Thx!

    • @3MBG
      @3MBG  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Trades are actually pretty rare compared to just selling it to the aftermarket and having someone else grab it there, which is a form of indirect trade. Which also speeds up the game as well.

    Looking forward to their reprint.But for this game I will have to overcome my urge to sleeve every board and wargame in high end sleeves. The cost would be crazy high, the sleeving would take forever and the draw decks would probably be really high

    • @3MBG
      @3MBG  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The cards are solid, and unless you are planning on playing this 200 odd times, i would really not be worried about wear

    • @jimbobjones9330
      @jimbobjones9330 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Given how the store deck is constructed, unless you intend to play with the same store decks dozens of times, you really won't need to sleeve them.
      Plus, given how much cardplay is in this game, you really don't handle your cards that much. About 90% of the time, any given cards are just sitting there on the table (not in your hands or anything)

      @@3MBG The other expansion is collusion. It was Kickstarter only, but they are repacking it and most of the mini expansions into new boxes to get them back on the market. Also, instead of dealing 6 cards from the top of the store during deck building, you deal 3 from the core set and 3 from the store.

    The heart of the cards isn't real. If anything, the cards are kind of jerks with how many times I've been screwed by a bad opening hand.

    • @3MBG
      @3MBG  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lol, bad and good random cards is part of the whole CCG experience. I once won a sealed deck tourney for a game because you got 2 boosters, and both of mine had broken foil cards in them

    1:55 Quick correction, trading cards can be done with non-equal star values, you just are __required__ to pay the difference in cash. This is to discourage players being taken advantage of too much.
    Other than that great video for a game that I'll get when it goes back in print next year, hopefully.

    • @3MBG
      @3MBG  ปีที่แล้ว

      IIRC, that's an optional rule. One not recommended with new players

    • @raphaeld9270
      @raphaeld9270 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ​@@3MBG There is a " Free Market Mode" but it rather throws away the requirement for equal stars+cash on both sides:
      "Free Market Mode is an optional rule for
      advanced players who are very confident in
      their card evaluation abilities.
      With Free Market Mode, players may make
      uneven trades. That is, both sides of a trade do
      not need to match up in terms of __Millennium
      Dollars and Star Ratings__." (From the latest rules I could find, p.15)
      The rules for normal trading from the rulebook read as follows:
      "You can always Trade with other players
      directly, without using the Aftermarket.
      However, any trades made between players
      must be equal value trades. That is, the __total
      of all Star Ratings and Millennium Dollars__
      must be equal on both sides of the trade.
      If you are making a trade that clearly benefits
      one side more than the other, you may wish to
      ask the other side for Friendship in addition
      to the other trade items."
      (p.9 of the same rules)
      But as I said, great video rule regardless :D

    • @3MBG
      @3MBG  ปีที่แล้ว

      Ah, yes, very correct. I think i may have taught it to people with equal trades just to simplify it and it stuck in my head.
