The Stargate card game is beta testing online. It's a fairly easy game to learn, but the beta testing is almost over (April 18th so I've heard).
My user name on the site is "DraxxGrimm".

Have you played in any tournaments?
They are long... 50 minutes per round. The sealed ones are 6 or 7 rounds.

So, who's takin' bets on how long it'll stay "popular?"

 

[Mooseman]

I actually like this game and can play it to some degree......
Don't know how long it will be "popular", if ever, but mostly that is the marketing dept and their organized play people.
Hopefully, they won't flood the market with tons of sets and kill the game that way.

Finally won my first game (actuall, I smashed) but only after making myself go through the entire "Tutorial" again.

I swear I thought I could've just *winged it* the first dozen times I played but I never won

...I hate "tutorials"....

I win alittle more than I lose, but it's not that important, the game play is very good.
When are you ever on line for this? I've played herbanion 2 or 3 times already.
Have you tried the tournaments?

 

[Killer Joe]

not yet but I have like 35 unopened boosters and don't know why

 

[Mooseman]

Open them as they aren't letting you keep them after testing is over.

 

[Killer Joe]

What, they're mine?

Awesome!

Will they let me keep any of the cards I already have opened or will they whisk them away, too?

 

[Mooseman]

They corupt your wish of keeping anything........

 

[Killer Joe]

When does it end? And do you know if they're comming out with a real version of the game as in physical cards.

Yes they are. Supposed to be released this month.

 

[Killer Joe]

Man, the least they could do is let us "Beta" testers keep the cards for playing the game for them.

I would buy "Pre-cons" only of this game because I couldn't sink any real cash into it.

 

[Mooseman]

There are sealed tournaments next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, at 8pm each night. You will get virtual product, prizes and they are crediting each beta testers account with some precon or starter and boosters when it goes live on the 27th?

 

[Killer Joe]

Of course, I'll be away...
