I Played 7 MORE Indie TCGs in 7 Days

[@mythiktcg]

Loved the cheekiness 😂 We appreciate the quick and simple review!

[@briochebrioche8976]

Dude how does this channel not have more subscribers ? The production quality and content are both great ! I thank the algorithm gods for recommending this to me, and hope it does the same for someone else

[@CardGameCrypt]

Hey thanks, appreciate it!

[@tankytots696]

Yeah I think the main reason he hasn’t gotten more traction is because of KZbin’s algorithm, it’s rewarding shorter content with like daily or every other day uploads. If KZbins algorithm was based on quality this guy would have at least 50,000 subscribers. But alas quality content takes longer than a day or 2 to edit and so KZbin’s algorithm isn’t going to push him. But I hope he knows that his quality is much much much more appreciated! Don’t change your quality for subs, but also don’t be afraid to roll the dice on some shorter easier video ideas If your goal or want is to grow faster! ❤️

[@CardGameCrypt]

@@tankytots696 Hey thanks mang, but honestly I'm not very consistent and this channel has a very low amount of videos (only 16 as of this one). The card game niche is also incredibly small, there really aren't many variety card game channels that don't have a main game people come for. I'm just trying to make the type of content I'm not seeing in the niche! Kinda bringing a little bit of the old school video game reviewer (normal boots) flair to cardboard.

[@scarlet_jade]

Facts, funny, good information, and makes something bad or crazy interesting.

[@thomasclowater9471]

@@CardGameCrypt Yeah I was gonna say that the main reason is probably how small of a reach the subject matter likely has. That said, keep up the good work!

[@RensCollectibles]

Mythik is a fun game to play. I never played Yugioh, so I'll take your word that it's similar lol.

Awesome video! This type of content is exactly what the indie TCG space needs!

Thanks!

[@splatterkins]

You had me dying at the "WHY DID YOU PUT IT THERE?" part during Zu Tiles! And kudos to going back and showing Gem Blenders latest card designs. It's interesting to see the differences in the games. Looking forwards to the next video!

[@NertheInsane]

Came to be amused, left genuinely intrigued about some of these games.

[@daforkgaming3320]

I think it would be interesting to see TCGs/LCGs where combat isn't the main focus. Usually it might have to be incorporated in some way to keep the amount of placeable cards on the board in check but when the goal is to just do as much damage as possible or stall the game until you can overpower your opponent it starts to feel repetitive.

[@happiman9484]

I like when the all dog

[@dahuntre]

Academy of Arts is VERY based on Flesh and Blood - the attack line and the cards look almost one to one, except Varia, too, with the moments and starting equipment cards

[@table-topthrowdown3222]

Fantastic quality and coverage. Insightful too. But you have 7 videos here my friend! I only found this by accident (keeping an eye out for Rise info). Keep it up!

[@CardGameCrypt]

Hey, thanks! I know people like their lists - I wonder how the videos would have done as one-ers instead of a bunch at a time. I might have to try it.

[@sohcahtoa9113]

Honestly, this is a great series that I would love to continue seeing more of in the future. Keep up the good work and don't stop making this type of content!

[@zutubetiles]

Another banger. 10/10. Would (and will) recommend.

[@GiantMonsterGames]

Love it! Keep making this series! even if you need to scale it back to like 3 TCGs in 3 days or something. As 7 is a LOT.

[@CardGameCrypt]

Thanks! Yeah I thought about explaining the games a little less in depth. Some of these are borderline "how to play" level lol

[@GiantMonsterGames]

@@CardGameCrypt That is one of the things I like about this video. you give a very good Idea how the game is played.

[@swrivalscg]

Finally, the goated video is delivered 🙌🏾 Great job as always.

[@Brouzu]

Great video, looking forward to the next one. It'd be cool to see videos about older card games as well, I grew up playing the old Decipher Star Wars tcg, and that game is so cracked.

[@CardGameCrypt]

Thanks! Talking about old games was actually the original intention of the channel (I have a video on one of the old Digimon games), but then the wave of new games started coming and I thought they would be worth talking about.

[@runiverse2301]

What a fun video to watch :) Thanks for explaining all these games so well. A few of them look particularly cool too.

[@ratbaby3107]

Academy of Arts seems like it took a significant amount of inspiration from Flesh and Blood. With the heros with different stats and abilities, and that "stack on a chain" is kinda like the combat chain, but the combat chain resolves as it goes.

[@oarmfan]

Getting gem screwed is a particular element that you simply have to build your deck around in Gem Blenders. Can confirm. It usually just allows you enough resources to circumvent it that it is rarely an issue if you know what you are doing (during deck construction).

[@GrievelornTCG]

Awww yeahhh

[@ActualDes]

Well well, it's the Varia man

[@lostboycmd]

Academy of Arts' card frames look a LOT like a certain other three-word-named TCG

[@KemonoFei]

very good video, love the content. Keep it up

[@BABABABABANCHAN]

if you like rise's visual keywords (i know you did deep down) i recommend playing inscryption, it's a solo sort-of roguelike (as in it's just not rogue-like for its entirety) deck-builder; with a focus on card placement (grid board, creatures can only attack opposing space), customizing your deck and breaking the game (it also has 4 archetypes, each using its own ressource)

[@justaproxy3509]

nice ❤, so pro, grettings from rusia 🎉, excelent job❤

[@Big_Dai]

Oh my.. that Varia's 10 point system is interesting! I can imagine a variation where Players place a LOT of cards on the board they cannot possibly pay for, and for the Opponent to prioritize what to respond to and try to come out the victor (spending cards and such) on mini battlefields you might not end up paying anything for.. but keeping them away and distracted from a different spot! It could make for an interesting game of chicken.

I was wondering how you choose which card games to show/try? If you'd like, I have a few cards games that you might find interesting, and would love to hear your opinion on?

[@CardGameCrypt]

I don't know that there's a method, just madness. What games you got?

[@ankyloinc.]

@@CardGameCrypt Well, I've got 2 projects, one called Phytora which I've got videos about. It's a battle card game where you win by attacking directly to get a certain amount of points. I've stopped working on it because it had some fundamental flaws in my opinion, the other project I haven't publicly shown yet, but you're a chef competing against your opponent to get customers. You play food cards to customers and whoever has the higher total value wins the customer. After a few rounds of that whoever has the most customer points wins.

[@luminisdetrimenta5845]

You have to learn Trok TCG, a card game from Argentina, unique artstyle (+18) very fun, medium velocity of gameplay (strategic but agile)

Yeah the gameplay for Ryse is kinda… iffy. But I have to say. They have the best quality physical cards in the TCG world. Spot foiling, spot gloss, embossed seals, and texture. RAINBOW EDGE FOILING and good card thickness.

26:00 turned off the video to listen to Slipknot. Wow that was good. Lmao

[@aaronjuarez1827]

[@BleachWizz]

2:00 - which means it's the chain from yu-gi-oh xD any way this first game definetly borrows a lot of mathematics from dots and boxes. The 4 cards scoring system is LITERALLY the same game. I mean it in the literal word of literally. but indeed dots and boxes with with mechanics feels interesting.

[@TSDreamCreative]

Most of these do not look great. The massive rush and design of TCGs has definitely led to a lot of derivative games, or games with very little proper playtesting (especially blind playtesting). Out of all of these, I think Academy of Arts and Varia seem the most interesting. AoA, while looking like Flesh and Blood (including the graphic design) appears to play quite differently with a very different resource system (while derivative of many modern TCGs, the split in Light and Dark is unique) and a different game tempo. Varia might be the most unique one I've seen, but the dice definitely doesn't grab my interest. I know someone who picked up RISE and I will admit, it's a very beautiful game. But the mechanics and "Complexity" look terrible.
