Awesome concept and very fun. only downfall is that creature conflict gets confusing at times.

Amazon's selling this for $33.90 and up & I see why

I read a customer's list of RPG must haves and this came up. Naturally the price $33.90 at the time made me gag a bit. Now, I won't tell you where I got it cheaper (b/c if I EVER decide to sell this game, I want no less that price above) but I did and still love it. Someone called it 'MAGICOPOLY' and I think it does sum it up.

What I enjoy the most about this game is the 'beginner's luck' factor. No matter how great your card deck, you can still lose to almost anyone (IA or lucky, litle unnamed 12 year olds... sorry, personal grudge). Easy to master and the music's not terribly annoying. REPLAY value = HIGH. A MUST BUY!

Neat game, Great Card Art, IA cheats in Story Mode

Culdcept has great card art. It is a neat game. It is fairly difficult. The IA cheats in story mode. Example: The IA character
had landed on a peice of my land and lost the battle with my creature and had to pay a toll of 280 putting the IA behind. On my turn my character landed on a peice of the AI's land. The creature defending the IA's Land was a gaint bat with 30 hit points. The bat had no additional land to boost it. My creature
survived the bat's attack and did 90 points of damage to the bat
destroying it.I thought great now I'm going to win. Instead the battle was said to be a draw. My character had to pay 280 coins back to the IA character putting it back into the lead. Also
the bat remained on the land as if it had not be destroyed.
After that, I TOOK THE GAME BACK TO THE STORE.

Wow! What a fantastic game on so many levels. I would agree with folks that say it is a bit daunting to learn when you first start, but if you are patient and take the time to read the manual and online help included in the game, you will get past the learning curve and have a great time with this one. All the fun of a boardgame like Monopoly combined with the addctive nature of collectible card games like MTG make this hard to resist. The graphics are nothing fancy, but are more than adequate - afterall the focus here is on gameplay, not glitz. If you are looking for a good multiplayer game, or are a fan of collectible card games you can't go wrong!

I love this game and have played it for over 100 hours. Its Magic the Gathering meets Monopoly. It takes strategy and luck to win. This game has a high replay value too.

Great Boardgame for Parties

This is a board game, ignore the whole video game business (except the nice ability to skip clean up). The monopoly analogy is apt, except with the right force behind you, you can take over park place with a giant pulsing amoeba. Many queues are taken from Magic: The Gathering, especially with creature abilities.

The hours melt away playing this thing. This coupled with the ability to addict your friends make this a great party game and after burning through the short plot-light single player campaign, toss in the drive occasionally for a refreshing play style. Worth its SRP and a great game to pick up in a bargain bin or here used for cheap.

The game that keeps on giving

I am not a Monopoly/Magic fanatic (I've never even played Magic), but this game is the most fun I've had since RE4 on the GameCube (or was it GTA: SA on PS2?). Luckily I rented this title through GameFly, and after having played through this once, it has made me to decide to purchase the title. This one flew under the radar in late Dec 2003 due to larger releases that were much more popular.

Do yourself a favor and give this one a try, you will not regret it. And no, it is not overly complicated, but does take about 5 minutes to get the basics down.

Multiplayer Payoff

The box art is poor, the rules are intimidating, the graphics crawled our from your Super Nintendo, and yet the game is incredible. I found a copy, not on display on the shelves at my local EB Games, but behind the counter. If I wasn't searching for the game, I'd have never found it. I'm glad I did.

Think of landing on Boardwalk with hotels in Monopoly and having the chance to fight it out to see who really owns the property. Not only was it easy for us to learn without reading the rules, but the deck-building aspects make every multiplayer game that much more worthwhile. The winner earns more cards than second place, who earns more than third place, and so on. At the end of the game, even the loser feels better off for having played.

I've played Top Shop for the PS1 a ton, and I'd say this is heads and shoulders above it in terms of game depth. We've played around six games in three days, and I can't wait to play again!

IT GETS BETTER EVERY TIME!

OK I have a ton of PS2 games. For some strange reason this is the only one I won't get rid of. You can play this game a 1000 times and there will always be a different outcome. Yes it takes some time to get used to, yes it is more complicated than other games, however, you will enjoy the strategy involved and it will suck you in for hours if you allow it to. I'm 37 and I can't put this darn game down! If you like Monopoly, Pokemon, and Magic the Gathering then get this awesome game. It beats ANY PS2 game in my library. The replay is great! I still don't have all the cards you can get.
