Living Card Games

Well they're something a bit different!

This is going to be a pretty brief update today, just a heads up really. I'm not the worlds biggest fan of card games truth be told. Magic the Gathering brings me out in hives, not because it's a bad game as such, but because I just don't like the idea of having to buy all those cards and booster packs. That's a whole different level of gaming addiction I don't want to go near. However, I have in the past played card games with friends, and found them a fun diversion. So I have to say that the so-called 'Living Card Games' from Fantasy Flight Games have intrigued me, games like Call of Cthulu and Game of Thrones. The idea is quite simple, it's a card game with all the cards you'll ever need in the box. Sure there will be expansion sets, but fundamentally they're a game in a box. So rather than dismissing all card games out of hand I've plumped for two of Fantasy Flights latest offerings, Blood Bowl Team Manager and Elder Sign, just to be clear though these aren't Living Card Games, just standalone card games in a box. I shall get round to reviewing them ASAP, and my review of Chaos in the Old World will finally go live in the next day or two, when I get round to uploading pictures to the article and sorting the formatting out. Peace out!
