If you’ve been playing Fantasy Flight Games’ Star Wars Living Card Game (SW LCG) of late, and have been looking for a bit more depth, on top of what the boxed game has been providing, you might have heard of this website called Team Covenant. Strategy articles on the game might not exactly be […]
Earlier, I reminisced about how I used to play the Star Wars Customizable Card Game (SW CCG), and how I observed that the game’s design really shows us “oldies” the progression that card gaming has gone through. Well, card games are a lot simpler nowadays, but hey, if you’d like to hit up on […]
One of my most memorable card gaming experiences happened early in my “journey” – actually, 1996 to be precise. I was getting bored of Magic: the Gathering, and thanks to my cousin’s persuasive powers, I was lured into the Star Wars Customizable Card Game (SW CCG), made by Decipher Inc. Decipher was cashing in […]
I’ve a confession to make: I’m a bit of a Blood Bowl Team Manager Card Game nutter since the game made its debut back in late 2011. Heck, I managed to persuade the local gaming group to do a “league” throughout much of 2012, culminating in a number of “dream teams” and custom/homebrew Star Player […]
Phew, it’s been a crazy week, month, and everything, but aren’t we glad there’s still some holidays left? Well, at least I know what some of us can do during the upcoming Chinese New Year holidays – play boardgames! Better yet, play brand new ones! Subang Jaya-based Meeples Café has just gotten across […]
So I recently blogged about how I’m trying to revive the pretty-defunct LOTR TCG, which was made by Decipher Inc. And the initial results are promising, with several Fellowships and Shadow forces coming into intense skirmishing over the past week and a half! In a nutshell, the game has everyone fielding their preferred Fellowships, […]
Yesterday I blogged about the LOTR Deck-Building Game (DBG). DBGs by the way have been picking up in momentum, especially in the last few months, with some big name franchises making the simple yet fun “cardboard” transition. Wait a minute, a card game about Lord of the Rings? Now where did I hear that […]
Has everyone caught The Hobbit yet? Well, I have, and I have to say that while it was a decent movie, I’m still more of a Lord of the Rings fan (yes, that earlier trilogy). Looks like Cryptozoic made the smart move to cash in on all things Middle Earth, with an LOTR game, […]
My previous blog post focused on the new(ish) Legendary – Marvel Deck-Building Game (DBG), by Upper Deck Entertainment. I had mentioned that while the game was solid, the artwork left a lot to be desired (subjective call by yours truly I know, but I was sorely disappointed after having seen some really awesome Marvel comicbook […]
