dragondice
is not a card game as such, but an interesting multiplayer dice game concept, as it is a
(nother) collectable game-system. I bought an number of starter sets just for
try out. Above you see some of the dices. Multiplayer game. |

c23 (WotC), bought 3 starterdecks, haven't played yet.
Based on the ARC system, based on its turn on (simple) MtG mechanics. (For the record,
the game was on sale, less than half-price, that should say enough I guess).

combat
card game from Games Workshop. Not much of a collectable card game
other than you can buy sets of various races. Heavily leans on the
Warhammer concept of Games Workshop. Stupid game. |

digimon is
riding the waves of Pokemon. Although the game mechanic is different, the
marketing concept is simular: TV-series, puppets, CCG. The cartoons look far
more agressive, though it is not quite targetted at the girls segment. I don't
think this game makes much of a chance. Game is published by Bandai, 2000 (ISBN
3-296580-055203 / Spanish version). |

guardians is a

secondly reading the reviews didn't encourage me to play it (I was allready into
MtG). I bought one starterdeck, game is 'dead' |

hercules, based on the

with C23 (look above). DEAD. Published by WotC/15608, 1998. ISBN1-57530-562-3. |

jyhad,
later renamed to Vampire (basicly because Jyhad is not a name you to want to use for
an American Game). Idea is that your characters are vampires and live on the
blood of others. Fighting game. |

the
last crusade is a tactical wargame, using the card for move ahead in a 3x3
(cards) arena on different terrain. Meanwhile you control you headquarters,
airfield, stockpile and reinforcement. Sounds better than it actually is, I
guess. I was not impressed, although some good reviews. Did buy 4-5 starter
sets. |

magic the gathering
(mtg):
mother of all CCG's, created a worldwide phenomonon. Game is designed
for 2 player but can easility be extended. Game contains both
complexity and flexibility. Game has lots of extenstion (a thousand or
something different cards). I own x000 cards (where x is a figure,
either 9 or 10).
Game is designed by Richard Garfield, published by (WotC). Game is
available in many languages (incl. chinese). |

middle
earth is typical 'Tolkien'-spin off. Many of the
characters of Tolkien are involved (I don't own all the cards, but I guess, all
of them). The game has some 'heavy' players, nevertheless this game is
considered dead. The game resembles the card version of Elfenland, as its goal
is to travel along locations (you own as cards). Propably one or the only
interesting CCG's next to Magic The Gathering. Cool artwork. Game is extended
with Middle Earth: The Wizards and Middle Earth: The dragons (and propably many
more). DEAD (for the moment) |

mlb
showdown is
simulation of a baseball game, where you are able to collect 'real' baseball
players and put them in your dream team. Each player has unique qualities (more
or less identical to the real life player) and a certain 'value'. Basicly, just
as with Warhammer, the better, the higher the value: each team has restrictions
to a limited number of value. Interesting game, but it helps if you are a
baseball fan and into collecting baseball cards. |

pokemon is a spin off from the popular
japanese Manga series. I own a few hundred cards, as my kids enjoy
collecting the cards (mmm, maybe it helps when dad is an active game-collector). The game itself is poor copy
of MtG (see above), although it is kind of funny. Variou extensions (Jungle, Fossil, Team Rocket, Neo,
Gymleaders, etc.). Cool Marketing concept though! (Hey, this is WotC,
remember!). |

portal is the beginners set of Magic The Gathering. Game
mechanics are simular, but simplyfied. Some of the cards can be used within MtG,
but in general, the cards are not compatible. Although an amusing game, not much
of a CCG, as the cards are not worth the money, you better start off with magic
and get taught by a MtG player: interupts, artifacts and complex cards are
removed from the Portal game (compared to MtG). |

starwars
is another spin-off from the famous Starwars movies. The game is quite
enjoyable, especially if you are a Starwars fan. Basic idea, you can put down
your sites (so can your opponent) and you have to dominate. You can choose
between the light and the dark side. A few fanatic players around. You really
need a LOT of cards to have a competative deck in tournament format (15 X-wings
really help, just wondering where you can get 15 of those). |

young jedi, another 'where comes this from then?'. Some kind of dead, has

and 12 promo's. Precedence/1997, ISBN 1-885681-91-7. |

x-files
is a typical 'whodunnit'-game. There is a standard game and an advanced version.
Each player chooses an X-file card and the opponent has to identify this card,
using his own card to get clues. I was not impressed by this game, actually
boring. This CCG is
'dead'. |

xmen,
some game are boring
even before they are published. This game should be a spin off from the movie
X-Men and should appeal to those who just abandoned Pokemon. Not much of a
chance, I guess. Published by WotC, 2000 |

xxxenophile
is a R/X-rated game, not as much for the game but for the cartoons on

give an idea of what is depicted). Currently published via Steve
