Trading Card Games 

Trading card games have come along way. Growing up I saw many games. Many have gone, but some of the biggest Trading Card Games are still around today... People might remember card game fads such as Star Wars TCG, Battletech TCG, Ani-Mayhem, Legend of the Five Rings, and the Lord of the Rings TCG. The only one which still exists is Magic the Gathering, Yugioh, and World of Warcraft. For each game that is still around must have its positive points and games which have vanished from the scene must have made a drastic mistake. It is best to look at the fun factor, balance, and design of each sucessful and unsucessful title if there will be a lesson learned here at all.

So who do we look forward to as the successors of these titles? try and think about Las Vegas and their playing for a goal... great tables... drinks from servers... lots of fun and entertainment. This means a place where people can go and expect a experience. What type of experience? That lays in the hopes and dreams of future Card Houses. A growing institution of food and cards, Card Houses are growing with the scene of underground Rinascimento.

There of course also lay the mechanical issues in each use of cards. The games which are used as reference and some games which are made for deuling one another. Without these common game mechanics people would not be playing it, so its best to sit back and think of the simple things which get people to continue to use cards. Chance, Control, Risk, Goal, Passes the time, Easy, Each card does one thing or a combination with another card. This is what makes peoples love of that little piece of paper.

Why work on projects with cards?

There is a huge untouched market of things you can put on them. Think paper with notes. Using it for education, Common References you need to remember, maybe even step by step instructions that you want in a compact place? Using cards in a variety of ways can help many people. We are trying to make it so cards are not primarily used as gaming tool, but as helpful aids in day to day events.

When people mention cards the first thing people think of is either a Greeting Card for an occasion or Playing cards which you use for gambling. The second thought they might have is Trading Card Games, but they don't usually ask themselves what kind of card. People do not see enough products on the market to get them thinking that cards are useful things. Most people are not likely to involve cards in their life because of that reason.

What is Eclipse Knights trying to do?

with the research on Rinascimento and its developement we are trying to get people to see the true potential of using cards on a day to day basis. Cards will be made with a variety of incentives...Recipes, Instructions, Guides, Workout, Dancing, Drawing, Coloring, Games, Language, Home Improvement, and Self Help... these are just a few of what are the targeted uses of cards.
