Should we start a special CCG thread where we talk about playing and the rules? or maybe this thread is ok?

Anyway I need help on faceoffs and when are you supposed to turn over (and pick a new) Problem Card? Even if you beat the Problem it seems like you're supposed to leave it long enough for a faceoff, but I'm not sure after that.    I have other questions, but I don't know if this is the right place to ask.

My take on the MLP CCG.

Pros
- Keeps in spirit of the show with no violence
- Neat little flavor text and easter eggs
- Doesn't require as much planning and strategizing as say YGO.

Cons
- Rules are long, complicated, and confusing
- Gameplay is long, complicated and confusing
- Difficult if not impossible to learn without someone playing with you and showing you

I got the Rainbow Dash/Rarity starter deck and three packs and went for a trial run with a friend. And this game was just utterly baffling and overcomplicated. The rules were printed on the play mat and a seperate card and I still didn't get it!

I'm a veteran of Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon TCGs, both of which have their own share of confusing rules. But I've (unofficially) volunteered with the Pokemon booth at SDCC twice to teach kids how to play the Pokemon TCG and in five minutes they're on their own without my help at all and usually by game two or three I have seven year olds wiping the floor with me. Half an hour into the game I was confused and still needed every step explained.

I've heard it compared with Magic the Gathering (if it were slightly more complicated) and I definitely see some overlap in MtG players and MLPCCG players. This is definitely not a "pick up and play" TCG like Pokemon and really requires some homework and someone else sitting there teaching you how to play.

Overall, if Enterplay simplifies the game I feel like it'll garner a little more attention from the younger crowd in the Pokemon/YGO demographic. I'm kinda disappointed and will probably end up selling my deck and cards. So if anyone wants a complete Rainbow Dash/Rarity deck plus three booster packs worth of cards let me know.

I vote for staying here I think this seems like the thread most people are visiting for the game so if people want to turn this into a general discussion thread on all things MLP CCG then that sounds like a great plan Any other threads on the subject we would just merge in here in order that people can have one go-to thread.

O..M..GEE!! There's an MLP TCG!!! I had no idea!! My husband and I love trading card games! (He always whooped my tail playing the Neopets TCG. )

OMG, OMG, OMG!!!

Okay...*deep breath*...when did this come out, how much do the starter sets cost, and where can I get it? I neeeeed it!!!

[Scraleos]

I love collecting cards, I have many, many Pokemon cards, but the thought of con exclusive cards, etc, really puts me off, as they usually go for a lot of money.

We got booster packs and theme decks at Walmart and a starter set at our local comic book store.

I justed order the two starter decks off of Amazon today. I demoed the game at GenCon, and filled out the survey, which mentioned a special surprise they'd email you in Sept. I was kind of expecting a coupon or something for a discount on the game (hence why I waited). But I never received anything. Did any one else get in on this?

I'll probably try and pick up booster packs later on, after I get a better feel for the decks and the game play.

I wounder if anyone would like to trade some of the older collectable cards for some of the new TCG cards~ I have a box of extras of the old cards that are all doubles. I just about have those sets complete... should we start a trade thread for them?

[SaelaVe]

Thank you so much, gabumon!
I picked up the Twilight/Applejack theme deck and my husband got a couple of booster packs tonight at Walmart. They only had one theme deck so hubby's now on the hunt for another starter. We are so excited to start playing!

[Sanadaookami]

I just got a Nightmare moon out of a card pack  I thought some people might like to see the card pack version with the Pre-release one~

I have two starter packs, and about 8 booster packs, now I just have to learn to play! My boyfriend has played MTG and a Star Wars card game, where I've never played anything, so I'm hoping I pick it up quickly.

[hathorcat]

Why did they change some of the cards? Any particular reason in general or just normal and varied editing reasons?

[octocorn]

We sat down last night with the game and the rules and after an hour of staring at the rules and watching tutorials on youtube I still have no idea how to play.  I finally just packed it back up out of frustration.  I'm probably missing something huge, but it made zero sense to me even how to do the first round beyond one person drawing a card, and one person not drawing a card.
