Kingdom Hearts Trading Card Game?

I just heard about it in my issue of gameinformer magazine. If you got it or are waiting for it, it's on page 68. The Starter Deck is $11.99 and Booster Packs are $3.99. Here's a direct quote of what was posted in the magazine:

Here's something you can give your nephew and actually not dread having to play it with him. Easy to pick up, but packed with some deeper strategy. Fantasy Flight Games' Kingdom Hearts Trading Card Game will have players fighting the heartless while traveling to different worlds from the hit series. It's got to be better than that Match the Annoying Animal Sounds game you got him last year.

Visit www.fantasyflightgames.com for details on the KH TCG. I have no clue if I delivered this info before Chocobo Heaven got it, but I hope it's helpful!

Nope, this wasn't here before.

I can understand putting the card game into the KH3 game, which might ahve been a good idea depending on how they do it, but to sell it in real life without even putting it into a game for them to learn the basic rules, is not gonna work. Like a 10 year old of this day and age is going to have the patience to sit there and read rules. I can't even get my nephew to sit still for ONE minute, much less two just to READ something that doesn't have shiny pictures all over them.

How old is your nephew? He sounds quite little to me. Around 4, 5? Anyways, the TCG sounds interesting. I might pick up the starter deck to see what it's like. I don't think it will ever get to the magnitude that Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon are getting but it seems interesting. Only time will tell. And it's only $11.99. That's not too bad. To the Wal-Mart!

He's like nine.

It would be interesting to see how it plays, though.
I do agree that it'll probably never get to the magnitude of MtG, YGO, or even Pokemon.
