I know this is likely an unpopular opinion, but I’ve never liked card collecting games. It’s like having gambling microtransactions in my card games. I don’t tolerate those in video games, why would I in card games? Why wouldn’t I just play Wingspan or Uno or Catan or one of the many other excellent “normal” card/board games instead?

Yeah, I’ve stopped playing dark pattern games too. A loot box is a dark pattern, even if that takes the form of a randomly sealed pack of cards. Also I’ve always hated going to a tournament to try to socialize, but the only words I get told by anyone are “turn” and “trigger,” so fuck that noise.

Turns out, when your product is a piece of cardboard anyone can print it off at home. The game itself is fun, but yeah I hate the micro transactions/gambling too. Luckily in most play groups proxies are totally welcome
