Its not just you. Its everywhere. It started really strong and then fizzled and went flat like an open can coke. The game will die and they'll go back to the drawing board and another star wars tcg will hit the shelves. On the bright side, failed card games go down in price so you can complete your collection for relatively cheap.

Seen a bit of a regrowth with Set 3. Hoping that the game can stabilize and grow. Would like it to last as the game play is fun and just nice to have a way to connect with other Star Wars nerds in person.

@boredbarista19 күн бұрын
Do it. It is fun and the more that we can grow the game the better. Like the decks aren't that much money and set three is so fun to draft. I'm really enjoying where the game is going and I want to see it be around for a long time. I would advice if you don't have a local shop that carries it to just order each starter for each set and do some demo games with locals and friends. The starters are really well balanced even between sets.

@boredbarista2 ай бұрын
Yeah, it's had lots of trading cards. These are from the 3rd version of a trading card game it's had in the last 30 years. At some point I plan to get my hands on some packs for the CCG from the 90's to crack, but for now I'm focusing on the newest game from FFG.

@boredbarista2 ай бұрын
Yeah, it's a fun game. Plays very similar to hearthstone in that you start with two resources and gain one a turn. Goal is to deal damage to opponents base till it had 0 ho left. You can either attack their units or their base. Space units can only attack other space units, same for ground units, unless a card says other wise. Luke magic the gatherings commander format you have a leader that has an effect you cam use all game and it can become a unit if you have enough resources. Hmm I should really do a how to play demo video.

I think the insane time between sets, the lack of local tournaments with decent prizes or invitations, and just the stagnant game play compared to Magic for me. I’m offloading my collection to get back into Magic more. I think the game has just lost its luster for me.
@boredbarista3 ай бұрын
See what got me out of MtG was the rapid fire releases and that I basically felt like I had to constantly be buying product each month. Game play I feel is limited because we don't have the depth of sets like other games. It's kind dull that each deck that plays the same aspects (colors) runs basically the same as any other just with minor tweaks based on leaders, base hit points/abilities, and what cards the player has in their collection. Plus a number of leaders don't really have the support cards they need to really make their decks work. Also, I totally agree that the competitive scene is nowhere near the level of Magic or any of the other games. Heck locally out of the five shops only two have SWU game nights and it's kind of the same core of 6-8 players that bounce between the two locations. Any big events are: one- a full day's drive away; two - capped at the number of players; and three - are sold out as soon as they are posted. Like the game has a small hardcore player base but it's limited because not every shop is willing to invest in the game after issues with FFG in the past. Which in turn means that until the player base does grow then we aren't going to have the competitive scene of the other games, but we can't grow if we don't have ways to expose more players.

Fun fact... Lucas film doesn't own all of the likeness rights from the film of all the characters. The models that played the Tonika Sisters in the Cantina scene in A New Hope didn't sign likeness rights as part of their contracts so when the Decipher CCG came out their was a bit of a royalties issue which is also why we have never gotten the sisters as action figures. This is why Fantasy Flight Games and other companies have moved away from using the movie films to produce live-action artwork.

Walmart was made what it is by being convenient and saving people money. It is no longer convenient or saves people money yet somehow people just keep going there in mass. It is far less inconvenient to drive to more than one location to shop and save money than to deal with the countless inconveniences at WM while paying more money.
