This is the reality I knew even as a kid when all my schoolmates played and collected their TCG's, from Pokemon to Digimon to Yugioh: I didn't get into it, because I realized from the get go, that even if I'd learn to master the obnoxiously complex rules and mechanics, I'd have to bankrupt my family
is this game really worth the hassle at this point? I find it hard to believe you can fail at making a Card Game in this day and age, and still be relevant. It's not exactly rocket science.
