Upper Deck adds to CCG plans
So on top of the DC CCG planned for July, the Marvel CCG at the end of March, and the TMNT TCG due this month (which manages to be a mouthful despite the abbreviation), Upper Deck has more news. According to ICv2, Upper Deck plans two more collectible games: the
Sisterz are doing it for themzelvez
It seems like every post I make these days is about some absurd new Hasbro initiative, but here goes: the G-rizzle has obtained some info on Star Sisterz, a collectible charm-bracelet-based game that combines the popular beaded trinkets with truth-or-dare-style questions on cards. It is actually a Wizards of the
Companies gearing up for GTS ’04
WizKids has announced their GTS premiere and giveaway, of course. But I’m hearing that AEG will have a surprise to give to retailers, too: the Spycraft CCG. I haven’t been able to confirm this yet, but that’s what I’m hearing. I’ve also heard that the next expansion set for the
Playtest report: Cyberpunk the CCG
There’s a lot of buzz lately about Cyberpunk the CCG. Around my area, much of that buzz is gamers asking “What’s it like?” or “Where can I get it?” It seems some local retailers have been reluctant to buy into another collectible game, at least until it’s a verified Runaway
Duel Masters: might not suck completely
After reading the article in Undefeated and hearing opinions from a couple of local retailers, I have to say that it looks like Duel Masters will be a credible game design as well as an actual, good business move for WotC. If you want the next Pokemon, it makes sense
OgreCave review: Torches & Pitchforks
Matthew has gone out monster hunting in Torches & Pitchforks by Green Ronin. He’s reported back on the stylish card game, and gives us his verdict in his latest review. Have a look.
More goofy **** from Hasbro
Hey, because if we combine Shadowrun Duels with Z-G, that ought to go over: XEVOZ is not just a metal band from 1979 but a new collectible action-figure-parts game from Hasbro, for the 6-and-up set. From the nicely done demo, it looks to basically be a simple dice game using
APE brings Big Top, Anathema
APE Games has finally released two card game titles I’ve been waiting to have a look at: Anathema and Big Top. Of the two titles, Anathema is obviously the darker, themed around the Salem Witch Trials. Illustrated by Drew Tucker, whose murky, brooding works in Magic and Jyhad are widely
Green Ronin in 2004
In Green Ronin‘s annual state of the union address, company president Chris Pramas looked ahead toward plans for the new year. Citing a theme of “diversity,” Pramas mentioned several highlights on the schedule for 2004, including a card game and board game that have yet to be revealed fully. Naturally,
Much Ado About Foglios
Through the help of a tipster, we learn what Studio Foglio is up to. Apparently, in an update sent to the Girl Genius Yahoo group, Phil and Kaja Foglio let fans know that the recent decision by WizKids to close its new publishing department would not affect plans to continue
Cheapass expects you to talk, die
It’s on: Cheapass will be reprinting the classic Before I Kill You, Mister Bond with a new title. They just don’t know what that title will be, which is where you come in. Come up with a good name and you might win a year’s supply of new Cheapass stuff.
WotC and Pokémon settle lawsuit
Apparently, continued pursuit of legal proceedings weren’t necessary for Wizards of the Coast and Pokémon USA. The two companies have agreed to settle things out of court after WotC charged two former employees of revealing trade secrets to their new employer, Pokémon. No details have been revealed, and likely never
M:tG Darksteel: new high for pack prices, new low for expansion titles
It’s official – Wizards has figured out that every other CCG in the damned world, including several of its own, sells at the $3.29 price point for just 10 or 11 cards. As the article points out, Yu-Gi-Oh is committing highway robbery on that score, but only one game at
You got your chocolate in my game mechanics!
Ever felt the need to combine Strange Adventures in Infinite Space with Magic: the Gathering? If you have, you should probably hold back, because it turns out someone already has. This is the nicest original-to-computers online CCG I’ve seen yet. (Via Penny Arcade, of course.)
