Sitting thinking of ways to get the younger kids involved in VS without being over their heads becuase of all the different mechanics and keywords.

And boom the idea of VS Junior came to mind. The same basic as VS only scaled down for younger kids. The basics would be there, attacking,defending,reforcement and such but without all the extra more complicated rules. They could be the more cartoon versions of characters from the TV shows. And would be a great starting point for beginners as well.

Could possiblity be a way to have them be upgradable to VS when they get to the knowledge level to step up.

As well as giving you collectors more to collect without us players having to buy more cards.

So tell me what you think and tell UDE what they ought to do about it as well if you think it is a viable option.

VS Junior? Maybe, treat all text boxes as blank, then use only plot twists that have basic effects (e.g. affects ATK/DEF values, gives reinforcement, etc.)

It seems like a good way to get a beginner to not just learn the game, but to master the basics (especially formation)...

they're called started decks, thank you come again

I think they call these "Starter Decks" and they actually are a pretty good place for jr. players to start out. They focus on teaching the phases of the game (via the 'rulebook' insert) which is the best place for a new player to start. The textboxes on most of the characters are blank and those that do have text have a bit of "reminder text" to further explain what the ability does.

(Edit: beat by the short-but-sweet version)

Dont be a dick. Trying be productive and help the game not to be the target of people like you.

Yes, understand the concept of "starter decks" but looking the appeal a more cartoon look would have on the younger players.

I don't know if it needs too much simplification my 5 year old knows all the key words and what they do, and she can't even read yet. Well she's working on it, but she knew them when she was 4 and she couldn't read a lick then.

She also understands flight / range and can tell me the name of each character in her spiderman deck.

If you're talking about doing essentially, a starter-deck based on the Marvel / DC Cartoon shows, this is actually a subject that's already being talked about in the expanding VS thread.

It's really an idea that has alot of problems with it. One huge issue is, of course, visual contrast. If you'd like to read what people have said and maybe give a rebuttle though, I have a link to it in my signature, and I linked the title in the paragraph above as well.

Save up for Harvard or MIT.

Sweet. I wanna meet this superkid

If you come to PCLA you may have your chance.

This idea does has it's merits, but I don't think it should be a separate game. Rather, make a few "Essential Collection" sets or something of that nature, perhaps an initial two, and an additional one every or every other year.

For example, you could have a DC Introductory Pack - but since most kids don't know what that means, you would put Batman/Superman deck on the front, and then on the Marvel put Spider-Man/Wolverine. Just simplify the game, and use as little text as possible.

Although, something interesting to note - there is a Marvel Super Heroes Collector's Club type thing offered through the schools (my mother is a teacher, so she uses her free points every month and I get it :P). Granted it's like $12.99/month but you get all sorts of things, including thirty more cards for this "Marvel TCG" they made up. It's totally simplistic, with most cards only having three numbers or so on them (and the only text is flavor), but it's still an interesting introductory product.

Hey, don't feel bad; I've played people at PCs who couldn't read either

Hey I saw that in my daughters scholastics magazine and I was wondering what Marvel Super-Hero game that was (hope beyond hope was VS.).

ah well thats umphochunate. in't it Stu
