Excellent! Although I won't have anyone to play the card game with, I'll more than likely pick it up anyway.

Thanks for posting that.

Companies turning MMO games into Card Games and Pen and Paper games is just taking it a little too far.

Well, when seen how well it happened the other direction with the Dungeons and Dragons product. Although that movie bombed in the movie theaters, I thought it was pretty good; however, it could have been really kick-ass as a multi-part series.

Well, technically this is the reversal of it.
Just like Magic the Gathering, it spawned a few games that were completely irrelivant to the game.
Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds, the game in question, was just a generic game with Magic stamped on it and a few names thrown in.

hopefully they'll make an apprentice package of it and we can play online against each other or something

I was never one for card games (with the exception of Steve Jackson's first version of Illuminati: http://www.sjgames.com/illuminati/). As for the pen and paper role playing game...it's been done, and i guarantee it's been done a helluva lot better : Champions http://www.herogames.com/Products/champions.htm

Although some of the math can be a hassle (bring a calculator), it's one of the best RPGs that i've ever played. You can create any type of character with it (comic book heros included)...i'm not kidding, ANYTHING.

only TCG i really got into was Magic. Pokemon and Yugioh were fun too but buying enough cards to make a killer deck would have been too expensive so I only play the gameboy and computer versions.

My thoughts exactly. The original Illuminati was a strategy game (a completely whacky and off the wall card game), but you only had to buy it one time (like a deck of cards...well, they may have put out an expansion pack, but, again, if you purchased it you had all of the cards).

I actually have a few friends who might buy and play the CoH card game. If they do, i'll try to get them to post a review here

when i went to japan they had some crazy arcade games that you had to buy decks for. you controlled your army by putting the cards on a playing field and moving the cards around to attack. guess they had some kind of sensor the game could read but definetely a lot more complex than the arcade games back in the states.
