New living card games
#6
I popped into my local game store earlier in the week, net runner is the most popular card game but is out of print apparently and they can only get it in occasionally, at which point it usually flies off the shelf, so I'd be reluctant to try to start that game unless we can easily get multiple copies of the starter and an easy access to whichever booster we wanted.
As to game if thrones, I wouldn't start the lcg as I already have the TCG and although I can use all those cards in the same way as everyone else in the lcg rules, I would be at an advantage because I would have cards not available to every one else.
What I'm trying to get to, is a game where all of us can start at the same point, that would be the most balanced way of doing things. From that viewpoint, Cthulhu has so many boosters available, someone with a large capital could, in theory, buy all the cards and be at a significant advantage over someone who couldn't afford to purchase much more than the starter set.
Having spent time looking at them all, Cthulhu is my least favourite but warhammer, lotr or Star Wars would be my choice. Warhammer has 6 races to choose from, 3 order and 3 destruction. Star Wars currently has 4 but will eventually get a further 2 according to ffg. Lotr has 4 'spheres' which I guess work the same as races. Cthulhu has 8 factions, which can all be combined.
