Yugioh Revisited Part 3

I'm going to discuss the final component of a Yugioh deck. I've discussed creatures so far which are basically the backbone of your deck. Then we discussed spell cards which are essential to augment your deck for different strategies. Last but not least I'm going to discuss the final key component of your deck which are traps. Traps can be the most important part of a deck, they can either seal the deal or turn an entire game around. My favorite trap card is mirror force which has the ability to destroy all monsters that your opponent controls in attack mode.

Yugioh Revisited Part 2

This time around we're going to discuss another aspect  of Yugioh. Today I would like to talk about spell cards, though not as flashy or cool looking as monster cards spell cards are a necessary part of any deck. Hands down my favorite spell card has got to be the equip spell card Mage Power.With the ability to add 500 attack and defense points to any monster for every card in your spell and trap card zone it can turn any monster into an instant beater.

Yugioh Revisited

Last time I spoke about Yugioh, I asked what everybodies favorite cards was. I have realized that this is a bit unfair because if you're all like me then you have many favorite cards. I have decided to ask about favorite cards again but this time taking a bit longer to do so. Today I want to know your favorite monster card. Post in comments and add a picture if you can. As we already discussed earlier my favorite monster card is Lava golem.

Support your Local Gamers

Today's fast-paced world doesn't always take into account real-world-face-time with the people we play games with. Video game often replace what used to be solid blocks of time that were spent sitting on the floor or around a table with friends and family and just being goofy and having a good time with each other. Too often we forget there's real humans on the other side of the controller and tangible board or card games give us that reminder.

The advent of the Internet allowed a proliferation of small, independent game designers to develop whole new worlds of tabletop and card games that are not found in most  "big box" stores. While games like Parcheesi, Monopoly, and Pictionary are easy staples to fall back on when dealing with groups that don't have established patterns already in place, these newer games allow for refined individuality within groups and a more customized bonding experience. 

The beauty of a small brick and mortar store dedicated to these types of games is that it allows people to try out many of these newer offerings to see if they even enjoy the games' themes and mechanics before committing hard earned dollars to obtain the games. It also allows people to develop local communities built around like-minded people who often become friends (and occasionally archenemies within in the world of the game, itself!) It also encourages audience participation, which leads to its own layer of complexity within the world of the game.

Warhammer

So today I want to discuss a bit of an older title called Warhammer Fantasy, it was the very first large army collectible miniatures game that I got introduced to. I want to hear from you guys if you used to play and what army you chose to go into combat with. Just in case you're curious my army was the dwarven military. Talk to you soon

Collectible Card Games

I was just curious how the rest of you got started playing CCGs. I started off my gaming lifestyle with videogames, but was then introduced to CCG's and I instantly fell in love with them. I have always been the player who goes out of my way to try and break games. With videogames even using cheats/hacks you can only do so much, with CCG's however you get to go above and beyond the normal limits. To this day there are players who keep coming up with strategies so broken that the game companies have to change the rules in order to stop them. So again let me hear from you, tell me what game it is and what the most broken combo you have ever come up with is. for example mine for Yugioh is 1)Macro Cosmos,2)Gravekeepers Servant,3)Vanity's Emptiness, 4) Mask of Restrict, and 5) Imperial Custom. When all out on the field together it basically shuts the entire game down, of course you need to be prepared for other strategies and have multiples of most of these cards.

Malifaux

Malifaux is a game based around small squad combat. The best way I could describe the lore is steam punk combined with magic. It's played on a 3' x 3' square with whatever terrain you want scattered about. It is a highly strategic game that combines miniature figures as well as decks of cards. It's not a cheap game to get into, but it's also not ridiculously expensive. You could spend around $100 and never have to buy anything again which is why it appeals to some gamers, who are tired of the TCG model and having to spend sometimes 1000's of dollars to get specific cards that they want. I have enclosed a link to both a video of the game play mechanics, as well as the main page for the game.
