The old Micropose version I believe was a Sid Meier game. I always remember seeing it in magazines but never tried it out myself.

I'd like to try and find a CCG or Card Game that the Mrs. and I could play together, but not sure if the theme of Magic would interest her, anyone have any opinions on a good one for hooking someone?


Dominion is a pretty good standalone card game. For me, as a retired magic player, it does a good job of scratching the itch without actually being a CCG money sink.

I'd recommend it for anyone who enjoys the deck building aspects of CCGs, but wants a standalone game that can be played quickly.
