Are there any board games which are like trading card games?

Anibal Scheid: I would take a look at Race for the Galaxy. It is plays up to four and provides a very satisfying game experience. The game itself is a civilization building game. You put planets into play and build up your empire while competing with the other players. It's non-collectible and will have a limited number of expansion sets (set 1 is already released and adds solo play plus a fifth player in addition to more cards).

Ambrose Mumma: there are a couple ways to look at this.dominion - which I have not played - is supposed to take the feel of CCG "drafting" and implement it wellRace for the Galaxy and san juan are good card games, I really like Race. but there isn't anything in it that "attacks" your opponent...it really is a race to build the biggest and baddest empire...Flying Frog productions has stated that both of their games...while board games have a big CCG influence on them...both last night on earth and a touch of evil have you collecting cards (! both "instants" and items) to use for and against various players on the boardilluminatti was sold as both a collectible, and as a box-set with all the cards. it is very different from magic...but is definetely a neat game and worth taking a look at.Fantasy flight game has two card games that they call "living Card games" or LCG where the cards are sold in "sets" almost like expansions...so rather than the person who is buying the most gets the best cards, you just choose the set you want to play with. This is specifically to target the CCG-type game without the buying tons syndrome that infects magic and others.these two are A Game of thrones LCG and Call of Cthullu LCGThere are also handful of non-collectible card games that are supposed to have that same feel. Blue moon, Cold War CIA vs KGB, Scarab Lords, and minotaur lords are all examples of this. I haven't played, but know people who have and really enjoy them (especially blue moon)and lastly...you could do wha! t's called a draft. in this there is a set number of cards, ! usually a box of unopened boosters or something, and everyone who is gonna play that night takes a set amount, opens them...picks a card (or so..) and passes the others around.so you get the pick of the cards you have, then 2nd pick of your neighbors...and so on until all cards are chosen or all have a deck....Show more
