I have tried yu-gi-oh and pokemon but don't get on with them. i think its all the magic and stuff. can anyone recommend any other trading card games that are worth playing?

hi, i'm a mum and my 10 year old plays, i'm looking for someting that i can enjoy as well.sorry if i'm too old

Jihad was popular many years ago, there are probably cheap sets on ebay. They might even still make it although under a different name.

Jihad sounds a little ominous for a 10 year old but I will check it out. Thanks for the ebay suggestion i hadn't thought of that. Are there any good sports ones? :

I have had a look on ebay for sports games and only found something called match attax, does anyone know if this is any good?

Magic: The Gathering is really fun.

how long have you been playing?

Magic: The Gathering?

Yup Magic, is it the best? If so why?

Well, it's similar to Yu-Gi-Oh, really except that you get more cards for the same price, the tournaments pays more for winning and it's more for mature players. I doubt you'll see any Yu-Gi-Oh card depicting a guy getting his head ripped off by a zombie or a dragon torching a knight.

Fair point, have you played "call of cthulhu", pretty damn scary if you play by candlelight! It's scared the living bejesus out of us on a number of occaisions. Not bad for a card game.

call of cthulhu - isn't that a role play game, I remember that from my uni days. Very scary if played in the right environment. I didn't know it still existed let alone was a card game. Where can you get it (this one would be for me, i think Sam, my 10 yr old can grow into it)?

Hobby shops or ebay, it rocks!
