Never found anyone interested in playing the game with me, though. And then someone stole my set and sold it. Including my Black Lotus. (My comic book collection as well, including the first Spideys, first X-Men, crossovers etc.) I tried to get back into it a couple of years ago, but there's too much to catch up on, and it would cost me far too much to get back the cards I used to have. That is horrid! Those things are worth proper money now. I hope that whoever stole them gets their boy bits/lady bits (delete as appropriate) chewed off by a rabid mouse.

Someone who I trusted to look after my place when I was on holiday. Some people have no morals, I suppose. I do have some cards - an Ice Age deck, other loose ones. But it's not the same. I used to be geeky enough to spend hours sorting through my cards, building decks, and placing them in folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Pretty sure my best mate back in the day had a fair few of the original cards, one of those weekly mag jobs from the newsagent. We had a few games, fuck knows if it's how you play but one of us would challenge the other one on one characteristic that a certain card had, like whichever was highest I suppose.

Nick83 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Oh yeah. A new kid moved into my neighborhood when I was a kid and introduced me to it. Awesome game. But they killed it through expansion. Was a classic that should have never progressed past the 5th edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Pappy likes to dress up as a wizard and bother people on the street by exposing his wand in front of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
