A New Approach for Collectible Card Games


May 24, 2009

We like to play kids games with our kids. It can be a bit painful to move those little pieces around the board, but its great hanging around with the kids. Kids games can be a lot of fun and it’s not rotting anybody’s brain. Unlike video games there is also a strong social aspect to sitting down with friends and playing a fun game.

One popular kids game is the collectible card game. Where the fun and collectability of a collectible card game focuses on the characters and a complete deck and everyone has access to the same resources they can test their ability rather than their bankroll. Most parents don’t have a pile of trading cards to select from and even if they did probably wouldn’t know which ones to use.

There are a lot of other choices] when searching for games for kids. There are the obvious board games that we have all played from the time we were little. There are also adventure games, word games, and for the older kids - war games. Trading cards have become a popular hobby for kids young and not so young.

However, some of the most prominent games that involve trading cards can be very difficult to learn. One of the downsides of a trading card game designed this way is that kids can spend themselves into an unfair advantage - affecting game balance and putting entry level players at a disadvantage; for parents, purchasing hundreds of bad cards to get a few good ones could be a real burden.

It doesn’t have to be like this. A trading card game can be just as interesting when everyone has access to all the cards. What’s more, the waste of paper and funds is sharply reduced if a collectible card game is modeled on full access to cards.
