>>43252376>Just out of curiosity, what card games has everyone played? Pokemon, Yugioh, Magic, L5R, BattleTech, Android:Netrunner (if you count LCGs), and a custom one I built.
>What was your favorite?Actually, my custom one was. However, of games that made it to market (I'm still salty about the politics that killed my game), Magic is my favorite still.
Pokemon was too shallow and I didn't like the fanbase. Yugioh has like a million fucking issues. L5R just wasn't popular nor as deep as Magic can be. BattleTech I mostly tried because I liked the art. Netrunner is a good game, but it just didn't completely click with me, dunno why.
Magic has complexity, depth, and solid gameplay. The fanbase is fucking terrible and I hate that the game has been co-opted by the secondary market to such an insane degree that we consider cards in a financial light instead of a gameplay one. Otherwise though, Magic has a lot of upside.
