What is a simple trading card game for my wife and I?

Asked by Axarraekji (247points) November 30th, 2011

We have never played any trading card games. We want to casually get into playing a fantasy trading card game, not a board game! I bought two Yugioh starter sets but it appears a little more complicated than I had hoped for. Should we try Yugioh or go for your suggestion? Thanks for your time!

I always thought Magic was simple. Stick with the core set and the basic rules and it’s pretty straight forward. They sell pre-constructed decks with instructions on how to play them which seem to make it a little easier to get a feel for it if you’re just starting.

I’ve been told the Naruto TCG is fast and easy to pick up, though I’ve never played it. Never tried Yugioh either so I can’t really compare for you.

At the very basic levels, Magic is simple…. except when it isn’t. Trust me, I had to carry a copy of the comprehensive rules in order to prove that I was actually playing the game correctly (I did some crazy things) and that doesn’t even count the specific card rulings…. in short, M:TG is as simple as you want it to be. A “Stompy” deck (big Green reatures) and a “Burn” deck (Red direct damage) are simple ; my “Kyren Chainsaw” was contentious amongst those who didn’t know the rules, but perfectly legit though I wish I had a nickel for every time a person asked, “Wha… ho… huh?!”.

Shadow Era is simple, but is online-only.
