So Ruben, how does it feel to be immortalized as a trading card?
So I’ve recently gotten obsessed over Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series, after quite a few of my friends recommended various “Abridged” shows to me. It’s one of the greatest internet series I’ve ever seen. I’ve never laughed so much at something like this. But of course, it’s brought back my love for the actual card game.
I have a tin full of what I estimate to be around a couple of hundred Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and as of a couple of days ago blew the dust off them. My brother has his cards, and we played a game or two, bringing about nostalgic feelings you’d expect from such things.
This morning I contemplated buying another deck so I could get hold of the new rule book, to reacquaint myself with the game. It’s been quite a few years since I played and I know the rules have changed quite a bit.
This was one hobby of mine that unlike tazos, Pokémon cards, and Where’s Wally, stood the test of time. I KNOW no-one plays this anymore, and “card games are for kids”, but this was a big part of my life, and regardless of what it is, it’s definitely a fun game.
Did anyone else play this game? Or am I the only nerd in the house?
