I've just come across this thread. I'm not spamming (well not really) as people have asked where they buy games from. Mr Sparkybird runs an online board game shop, which is obv where I get mine from!

yes Carcassone is a great game for kids. Also proving very popular with our friends children and their parents is In a Bind - designed in Brixton, great stocking filler/small gift for nephew/nieces etc. Although I have almost given myself a hernia trying to play it!

What's a deckbuilding game?
Click to expand...
a game where you have a big card set, out of which you construct a smaller deck to play with.
Magic the gathering probably the best known game to use the mechanic as a core part of the game.

Gives a lot of opportunity for each time you play to vary the game as you make decks that work differently and ime gives a strategic element to games as you decide what kind of deck you will build. A good or unusual deck build gives you an advantage in playing the game.

Played the first chapter this afternoon. He was really into it. Took a bit longer than expected (they said 90 minutes and it took us just over 2 hours cos I kept having to look up the rules and he was fannying about) but, to be honest, anything that keeps his attention for that long has to be alright and he asked if we could do the next chapter immediately afterwards.

Little does he know that this is the first step in his inevitable descent into lifelong geekdom.


Mwa ha hahaha

Ha.

A game of cards which your 'deck' is built while playing the game as opposed to collectible card games or living card games where you build your decks prior to the game.

Ah, that's interesting, having only played ccgs and lcgs I didn't realise there was a different type of game using a similar mechanism, does a game like that have 2 parts then, one where you build the deck and the other where you play it or is it more fluid?
