Guardians is a great (but long out of print) CCG that deviates pretty far from typical MTG-like mechanics. It's actually more of a "boardgame with cards" if that makes any sense. The cards contain lots of high-quality art and 90s nerd humor, if you're into that kinda thing.

I've heard Guardians is not fun, but the card art is indeed gorgeous. The 90's nerd humor... I could really do without, though.

I tried playing guardian with someone who had quite a collection and it was pretty boring. Style over substance imo.

Forgot to mention Munchkin. Pretty fun "dungeoncrawler" game with humoristic characters, items etc. Great fun.

I love bohnanza and also munchkin.

I really wish there was a place to play munchkin online as I never have groups to play with in real life.

Also has anyone here tried Wizard101. its a free to play MMO (the first little bit it free anyways) and you are a wizard who builds a spell deck to battle monsters. basically imagine a tone downed version of Magic the gathering played in an MMO. its pretty fun and actually very kid friendly. https://www.wizard101.com/start I have a level 10 ice wizard

There is a contest on Instructables about toys. I am debating whether to enter "Make your own card game" or "Make custom playing cards", and ideas?

I was just browsing around Boardgamegeek and discovered that there was a Sim City CCG in the 90s. The cards look absolutely amazing:

I've decided to develop a card game. It's about tower building... More deets later. I'll post pictures when I get the cards printed for sure!

@CAS

Those sim city cards look very neat.. Interesting. I like the pictures.

I'm willing to bet the guy on the top left card is one of the game's designers.

Munchkin is great.  The learning curve is quite low, although you will appreciate the game's humor the most if you have prior background in DnD/other RPGs.  Nothing like a game where the primary objective is to screw over your friends Smiley .

It's also a party game, so you'll also need to play it with at least four players (preferrably more) to get the most fun out of it. Getting as many of the myriad expansions as possible (and using them all together) is advised as well.

I wish more RPGs had that kind of silly humor that munchkin does. there is a game that's kind of similar called Those Pesky Humans with dungeon crawling it looks pretty awesome, but its not a card game. I need to get in on some of these free online CCGs. what the best one though?

There's a Munchkin RPG, which is, very fittingly, based on the 3rd Ed D&D (or "d20") ruleset.

I haven't tried it but it might be funny idk. I kinda lost interest in RPGs because I don't have anyone to play with anymore.
