Most have gone the way of the Dodo (Netrunner, On the Edge, Heresy), a few have stood the test of time (M:TG, L5R), and you've sworn off CCGs cause they're "money pits." Well lately I've been buying up OOP CCG starter boxes for the cost of an Inprint CCG's starter. Now that ain't so bad, is it?

Regardless, here they are since not all titles include CCG in the name.

Please add those I left off.

CrystalicuM is a Polish CCG set in a 'fantasy/space opera/steampunk' universe (think Spelljammer) and with anime/manga like art.

One of Polish CCGs. This one is set in 17th century Poland, with players representing warring factions, each trying to get their king elected to the throne.

This is a great game. The game is good with two players, but shines in multiplayer. The offical tournaments are multiplayer.

Well worth a look.

I love the game and cannot even begin to explain the amount of interaction and chaos that occurs in a multiplayer game. The best part is the company does not focus on it being a collectible game. If you want to just go buy one starter, you can play with your friends. If you purchase 2 starters or one starter and a few boosters you are ready to compete.

Another rare winner in the glutted field of CCG
I have played 85% of the CCGs out there, this one shines when playing 3 or more.
A real treat in a difficult genre.
The website is also top-notch, so support, forums, cardlists, etc are all available at your fingertips, er, mousepointers...

I've never played a CCG before and I heard great things about this one. But I found the print on the cards to be significantly smaller, fainter and harder to read than other games, so much so that I had to take a pass. I bought into AGOT and MtG, which I have no problem reading. If the publisher of Allegieance reprints in more legible type, I'll grab it up in an instant.

After playing M:tG for years and sinking gobs of time/money into it, I vowed to never play a CCG again.

Until now.

This is a really good multiplayer game. I love the shared resource and diplomatic/political aspects of this one.

With only 220 cards available to date (first expansion due soon), only 2 copies of a card per deck permitted, and rarity more based on artwork than utility/power, this game is not very expensive either.

7. Netrunner [Average Rating:7.51 Overall Rank:148]

Netrunner (1996), Dead (with only one expansion).

Still Expensive.

Apparently this one went OOP because it "plays so well out of the starters."
