Not really a CCG. Has anyone played the Bavarian game of Schafkopf? It's played with a non-standard deck and it's complicated. Best played with 4 players (kinda like Commander in MTG).

Official rules from 1989 are here:

Kind of complicated.

I work at an LGS that will be a store for official events. I already have a case (4 boxes of 32 packs each iirc), each starter, and each playmat preordered. As soon as we get demo kits for the game we’re going to promote the shit out of it

I’d be interested in it, if I had a solid in person playgroup. Though that kind of goes for all card games. At least with Disney backing it, it might gain enough traction to make an impact into the causal crowd.

Even if it doesn’t do well in a competitive capacity it’s still going to print money simple due to it being a Disney related product.

I have to say that I am happy that they finally added the new support card to the Traptrix archetype on Master Duel.

They feel much better now, more combo potential and better answers, even if you go second.

Absolutely insane how much that card is worth. I’m glad it was just a random person who got it and not some huge store.

TheInfernoman · August 5

lots coming next year. I look forward to the cowboy set.

Yeah, it’s insane that MTG is still going strong after all these years.

My new deck on Yugi

This was the reaction to it on the discord XD

Hecatom · August 10

It seems that my return to Yugi Oh! has been cut short by Konami adding the KAshtira archetype and the cancer they bring 🤣😂☹️💀

No idea, the only thing I know about it is that it had some controversy due the system being lifted from another project from other company, apparently, or something like that.
