I think the only major reprints that have happened is when they swapped the Chapter Pack model from 40 cards to 60. Star Wars is the kindest of the LCGs, where it does include 1x each Objective Set, you can get a complete selection for the cost of a second core set, without anything missing. An introduction to the game, which is what FFG want with those products.ĪGoT and CoC pretty much only have 1x of each card in those boxes and those haven't been reprinted with 2x each card or whatever.
Extra costs to making new artwork for the challenge decks, plus extra cards added to them would also increase the cost. Extra cards for a complete set, that's what, another 70 cards to fit in the box? Another set of markers/dials to support 4 players instead of 2? Extra cost/box space. Updated rulebook/challenge decks to include easy/difficult scenarios I can see happening.Įverything else you describe could easily slap a £60 price tag onto the box. My mention of a "1 year OCGTN subscription" was basically wishful thinking that FFG and OCTGN would find a mutually beneficial business relationship.) While I like the convenience of OCTGN, I personally think it's weird that they are charging people to play their borderline illegal product, and I would never pay OCTGN unless FFG actively endorsed them, which would probably not happen unless FFG received money from each OCTGN subscription. This would allow the early quests to "catch up" with the later quests in terms of correctness, convenience, and (in the case of campaign mode) game play depth.
What else could be thrown into the 2.0 box set (or individual quest packs) to make you want to buy it?Īnd how much would you be willing to pay for all this?Ģ) rules include nightmare and easy modesģ) rules include campaign mode (for all quests, not just later quests)Ĥ) "missing" cards from Core Set (so that there are 3 copies of each)ĥ) new versions of cards which have had errata appliedĦ) new versions of cards which need a difficulty indicator (for Easy mode) The bundling would appeal to newbies, and the card upgraded would appeal to existing fans.įor added incentive the box set could also include:
So, for a reasonable price someone could get the entire LotR LCG series released so far, in an upgraded format. Version of the LotR LCG series with the following changes:ġ) rules revised and expanded to include/incorporate post-release FAQs, rulings, etc.Ģ) Core Set now includes 3 copies of each Core cardĤ) rules include nightmare and easy modesĥ) all cards marked with difficulty (for easy mode)ħ) rules include campaign mode (for all quests, not just later quests)Ĩ) new Boon/Burden cards added to all quests (or any other cards used by campaigns)Īdditionally, it would be great if all the 2.0 expansions and quests could be bundled in one big
