Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game Konami’s Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game continues to grow in popularity due in no small part with Konami’s commitment to introduce new cards continuously. This not only keeps the game fresh but it also encourages new gamers to try the game and veteran YGO players to continue to support the product. Often when a game is introduced game manufacturers fail to introduce new product on a consistent schedule and gamers (fickle as they are) tend to move onto new games. Not so with Yu-Gi-Oh! gamers. They continue to play YGO and with new and exciting products consistently introduced on short order they stay with the game. Recently Konami premiered several products over the last few months. Anything from Tins to Decks to Foil Packs can be found. The Duelist Pack Collection Yusei Tin contains Cards from the YGO 5D’s animated series in its three Duelist Packs. Also included is a Yusei All Foil 3-Card Promo Pack, a Starlight Road Secret Rare Variant Card a 5D’s Beginner’s Guide. For Deck boosts be sure to use the enclosed Assault Mode version of the Yusei signature monster Stardust Dragon. The Machina Mayhem Structure Deck includes eleven brand new cards that allow you to employ all new and devastating engines of destruction. Look for lots of Machina monsters that you can equip to assemble bigger and badder machines. Also look for a special The Big Saturn from the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Manga. Talk about a big machine! Included are Monster, Spell and Trap cards equaling 40 cards plus a Rule Book, Mat and Dueling Guide that are ready to play and built to win! Add to game play fun with Konami’s Yu-Gi-Oh! Absolute Powerforce with nine
Cards per Foil Pack. One hundred
Cards come in the Set with 24 Packs per Box.

animated series. Also look for

Star Wars Top Trumps Tournament I came across Top Trumps a little over a year ago. I have to admit I was not familiar with the company. After looking over their website and checking out their products I was intrigued. I obtained several of their games and thoroughly enjoyed them. Not only were they fun to play but they were fun to look at. Many of the games are taken from popular movies and use photos from each. Cards are packaged in a rough and tough plastic containers that keep cards clean, sharp and safe. Top Trumps presents a new twist on their games with its Star Wars Top Trumps Tournament. Packaged in a lidded game box wrapped in Star Wars photos, the game includes six card packs (Episodes 1-3, Episodes 4-6, Starships, Clone Wars Computer Animated, Clone Wars Cell Animation and Top 30 Moments, pegs and card holder with spinner. Cards include battle stats such as battle skills and brains. Gamers select cards from the spinner rack by spin. Six mini-games are played and gamers add pegs to their score bar. Whoever gets nine pegs first wins the mini-games. Players then move onto the final round. Cards equal pegs and whoever has pegs left wins the game. Now this is my kind of game. I don't know about you but I don't have time to get enmeshed in a role-playing game (table or online) or play hours worth of video games. The entire family can enjoy this game and spend quality game time together.

Konami presents its latest booster set, Crimson Crisis, for its Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game. Consisting of 100 cards, the set breaks down into 48 Commons, 20 Rares, 14 Super Rares and 10 Ultra Rare. The 1st Edition comes nine cards per pack and introduces new cards, one of which allows players to upgrade their decks to a more powerful assault mode. Originally halted for release due to Konami's decision to end its association with Upper Deck, Konami released the cards on its own. Delighted fans can find the cards in retail and hobby shops. Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG lives and players can thank Konami for its resuscitation. From the four packs I opened I received an impressive selection of cards.
Top Trumps Do you remember playing War as a kid? Cool card game and easy to play, right? Well, Winning Moves UK Ltd. Has taken War one step further with its Top Trumps Card Game. Unlike other Collectible Card Games, Top Trumps is not complicated; it doesn’t require an advanced degree in strategy or an encyclopedia for a brain to remember all the stats, moves and characters. It’s fun and fast and best of all, the entire family can play it-anywhere! Long popular in the United Kingdom, Top Trumps card games are now being introduced into the U.S.A. and they have become an instant hit. Consisting of 30 cards, each deck is based around a theme. Players split the deck evenly between themselves. The first player places their card down consisting of the highest number from a certain statistic, depending on the deck. All the other players must submit the same statistic. Whoever has the highest statistic wins and keeps the card. Whichever player gets all 30 cards wins the game. What I find especially nice about the Top Trumps cards is that each has a character on it from whatever particular subject the deck is based on. For example I have several decks: Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Horror and The Simpsons. Each individualized deck has face cards with full character stats on the back, including bio information about the character pictured. Not only do you get to see the character you play, but you also learn something about them. In the Indiana Jones cards for example, stats are Adventures, Combat, Cunning, Courage, Greed and Faith & Wisdom. Stats vary per deck. Another nice thing about the decks is that they come in heavy duty, flip
open plastic packs that make for safe and durable protection. Top Trumps come in dozens of types. Pick the sets that interest you. |
