Entry #3: (Insert Battle Theme Here!) Final Fantasy TCG

 It's hot outside isn't it? So pull up a chair and grab a tankard of ale! I've got a game to introduce you too! Now this game is not new. It actually came out in 2016 in North America. But it's a great game that fixes a lot of the issues Magic the Gathering has. And it features the cool characters from the video games! What's not to like?

INFO--------

Game: Final Fantasy Trading Card Game

Game Type: Trading Card Game/Collectible Card Game

Release Date: October 2016

Players: 2

Playing Time: 1 Hour+

Difficulty: 3.30 (out of 5)

Publisher: Square Enix/Hobby Japan

Price: Varies Starter decks are $15

Originally released in Japan in 2011 the game was rebooted when it was released worldwide. The premise of the game is simple. Each player brings a pre-built deck of 50 cards (no more than 3 copies of any one card). Players play cards by discarding cards for crystal points (CP). You can also play backups which dull (tap, turn sideways) for 1 CP a turn. You also control forwards, which attack, and summons which have game altering effects. To win the game you must deal 7 damage to the opposing player.

A Forward

A backup

A Summon

One of the cool things about this game is the EX burst you see on that summon (it can be on any card type). When you get damaged by the other player you put the top card of your deck into your damage zone. But when they hit a card with EX burst you get to still do the ability! Awesome right?

The game plays quickly and is fun to collect. Highly recommend it!

Entry 1: Welcome to the Tavern!

 Greetings friends and welcome to the tavern! Maybe you have read my other blog, Four Eyez.  I started that blog way back in 2010. It was dedicated to all things nerdy. Flash forward 12 years and I have to say while I am still a nerd, the blog didn't really reflect me anymore. I actually had it on hiatus for years.

Now, I am still geeky and nerdy. But I realized gaming in general is my hobby. Anything from TCGs, video games, board games, and everything in between! I also am a beer fan (hence the name tavern!) but to read about my beer adventures check out my other blog  Here .

Now this blog will cover tons of gaming stuff. I'll share my thoughts, and pics from my gaming. Also I will share videos and blog posts from other content creators which add to the gaming landscape. 

So are you a gamer too?  Welcome to the tavern!
