I played Lorcana for a bit then realized you can get cards that look identical under a jewelers loupe for 1/10 of the price and I got out of it. A few months later the market price for all the cards cratered. I wonder why?
- 2muchcoffeeman 5mo agoYou stopped playing because there are fakes? Was the game not fun?
- HeavyStorm 5mo agoAt least someone is asking the right questions.
- ZiiS 5mo agoFor many people not paying the artists is less fun, for nearly everyone paying 10x the price is not fun. Obviously a brillian game might overcome this but it can easily cause someone to move on.
- KPGv2 5mo agoThis is a false dichotomy. You don't need to acquire the expensive cards to play the game. I enjoyed Star Wars: CCG back at the turn of the millennium even though I didn't have any Yoda, Vader, Luke, etc. cards. I think I had a Chewbacca, maybe? Yeah, I traded with a neighborhood kid for it, and later his mom called my mom to try to take back the trade.
- nickthegreek 5mo agoright? Net Runner specifically allows proxy cards at events and even give you pdfs to print you own cards. Owning random expensive cards is no way to play a fair game.
- rationalist 5mo agoI have a three Gaea's Cradles, been thinking about selling them and playing with proxies. Do you think now is the time? Especially with a possible recession/lay-offs?
