Combat Cards

Unlike many games, which have transitioned from RL to SL, Combat Cards is moving in the other direction, with plans to eventually create real-life sets of the cards. “For a game like this, we have this incredible visual element [in SL] that really enhances it,” said Osprey. “In RL, you can have tangible cards with clear graphics. We don’t have to have just one or the other – each has its strengths.”

Last night’s Introduction to Combat Cards saw two session run, and the second of those saw SL journalist Jeremy Flagstaff (SL Podcast) experience Combat Cards. Jeremy admits he’s not a games player but how did he find it?

The game was fun, I have to admit. I only played one round with Comhrag, and he says you start to get the strategy down a bit more after a bit, but it was still lost of me for the most part. The real genious of this is the minions of fans of the cards games in real life. An uber geeky crowd, who would be perfect for Second Life.
