CCG: Collectible Card Game a la Magic: The Gathering

http://www.sfbok.se/kat/img/39949.jpg http://www.sfbok.se/kat/img/21958.jpg

Has anybody tried out this CCG ? I wonder if I would like it since I am a huge a Song Of Ice And Fire fan and I like a game of MTG now and then.

I am a huge fan of Song Of Ice And Fire too. Do you know when the 4th will come out?

Since I read those books, I find most other novels too cheesy to read.

Dammit! I promised myself I would never buy collectible card game again after I burned my 1000$ worth Magic: The gathering collection and my Star Wars collection, but just looking at those two images make me want to go buy some, NOW.

I need to support my favorite writer... right?

Just one or two pack, then I'll stop...

At least I know that nobody where I live has ever read them, so I am in no danger of finding people to play the game with, so I guess I"m safe for now.

Heh been there too, I have about $1000 (US$ [img]smile.gif[/img] ) worth of Magic cards (A Black Lotus, 5 Moxes, 50 double lands, just a to start) gathering dust.

And I too think ASOIAF ais the best Fantasy series ever written. Unfortunately, a Feast of Crows will only be out in April 2003.

Meanwhile these two sites are worth checking out:
www.westeros.org and www.georgerrmartin.com

My birthday is in April. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I started playing magic a little before ice age. Sometimes I wish I did not destroy my collection, it would be worth a lot now probably...

The translation is not a good one. A French friend of mine started reading the French translation but switched over to the English one quickly.

For example: Direwolf is translated to Loup-garou (Werewolf!). He was very confused about the first book, kids aquiring werewolves as pets [img]redface.gif[/img]

Furthermore each English volume is split up in two or three French ones.

It does not suck, it is just worse than the English version, but still great. Even below average translations can't screw up such a masterpiece. As long as you do not tell them the English version is much better they would not know.
