For new players, it's a very good entry point. 5 investigator decks, lots more tokens, decent rulebook. For veterans, they may want to look at the card pool and see if there is anything they want to add out of set. I will say the new acrylic tokens from @Gamegenic_ is a game changer. Every type of player should get some of those.

@Marky_X_ IPs can bring players to the table, but it has to be good to keep them there. Games like One Piece and Riftbound have done that. Only time will tell if Cyberpunk can do the same

I complain about IP based board games all the time But there is a reason why they do it

@DiceAndNames @d20woodworking Hopefully you mean check out the video, as the sets themselves are selling out. 😉 I’m glad I got Revised Content, and may get some fan stuff at some point.

@d20woodworking has a great video about the end of LOTR LCG evergreen content. Other than fan content, the game is going out of print, which is a shame. I only discovered it in 2024 and it still feels fresh and modern.

It was just announced that the Altered TCG has been cancelled. This is a real shame because the gameplay is really fresh and unique. But even when I saw the game behind closed doors at Gen Con in 2023, I said that day that this business model had an uphill climb. Print on demand, online trading and QR codes are systems not conducive to most LGSs. And without the support of the LGS, it never really had a chance. I would love to see the game refreshed with the standard TCG model or as an LCG. The gameplay has a lot to offer.

Sadly, @Altered_TCG has cancelled their campaign for their next set and will be ending the game. As someone who believed in the game early on but fell off, I might do a post mortem video at some point, but my sincere condolences to everyone who continued to believe and play it.

Great advice 💯 It's WAY more important than you think. Remember, if things go as planned you're gonna have lots of Youtubers saying it over and over again as they pitch it to their audience. Make it short, interesting + unique (but not too weird) And easily "SEARCHABLE!!" 🚨

Naming your game Your game's name matters more than you think and more than you'll want to admit. Most game names are forgettable. Euro board games are notorious for this, often naming their games after a city (e.g. Carcassonne, Quebec) Avoid adjective-noun, noun-of-noun or some grandiose, action-packed, and completely interchangeable with fifty other games on the shelf (e.g. Elite Fighters, Jewels of Whatever) Put a soft-cap of 3 syllables in your game title. Your customers will Google your game name and search you on Amazon/Steam, and they need to remember your name. You'll notice that words Google and Amazon don't break this rule. If possible, stick to one word. Good examples: Doom, Patchwork, Horrified, Pokemon, Blokus, Gloomhaven, Halo, and Minecraft. Go weird if you have the option. Standing out matters more than sounding impressive. Let the game name itself. You're just listening for it.
