Stargate trading card Game?

[Rail'k]

I was wondering if anyone is willing to pressure one of the trading card game manufacturars like Decipher to make a Stargate trading card game? if so reply and send me an email to Railk3000@yahoo.com Thanks

[Rail'k]

I think it will be a great idea. and it will be fun

[the_fours]

it has so much potential as a CCG

[SeaBee]

As much as I think this would be a fantastic card set, I would like to say

NO! PLEASE!

My son already collects Yu-Gi-Oh, Jackie Chan and Duel Masters to an obsessive level, and I would have to buy a bigger house if he starts on another one! :D

I think it would just end up like that stupid game Magic

[Rail'k]

:D If yoy are interested in pushing to create one send this to The Head of Decipher At chairman&ceo@decipher.com


Dear Mr Holland, Chairman and CEO of Decipher:



Because of the increasing popularity of Stargate I believe that making a Stargate Trading Card Game would be wise. Just think about it Stargate Sg-1 is going into its eighth season, and it has spawned a spin-off “Stargate Atlantis” which will start in June. Also in just a few years they are going to come out with a second Stargate movie. Personally I think it is a prime time to make a Trading Card Game out of it.



How are we going to do this you ask? Well you may play the sights like in the Star Wars Trading Card Game and also have two sides like in Star Wars. With that you could play the other cards like in the Lord of the Rings trading card game. The Sight cards could be similar in format to Star Wars but fore each planet there is a Stargate. The other cards could have the same layout as Lord of the Rings but also could include spaceships. Instead of ures you would have races, which are for the good side The Asgard, Humans, Tok’ra, Jaffa, and other. The evil side would have the Gould, The replicators, Jaffa, and other.



This is just a suggestion, if you don’t want to make this trading card game that’s OK, but I would like some feedback.

Thanks

Sincerely:

[Rail'k]

i Have sent This email once and got no reply that's why i think if we get more people pressuring decipher they may give in and make one.

You mean extremely popular?

I don't play it, but you gotta admit, it is (or has, and will be-some years are better than others) pretty popular.

Yes popular but not that popular decipher is the company that makes star wars, star treck, and lord of the rings trading card games.

[KokiriChild]

Isn't there already SG1 collectors cards out there? I believe there is *hasn't been down to Area51 recently Edit: A sci-fi store, not the place in the USA!:P* if there is we could put pressure on them to make a trading game!

[-Jules-]

I think a trading card game would be great! I think it could be popular as the show is becoming more and more popular.

[the adventurer]

SG-1 Card Game would be great, I'd make it something like this.

All players start with a Homeworld Card, every turn you can play one Cheveron card, Cheverons are used to deploy Character, equpment, and Event cards on your Worlds. 7 Cheveran cards in play let you play more Planet cards, you can only have 7 cheverans per world under your control. Opponents can attempt to invade your worlds and take control of them and steal your cheverons.

[Ocelot]

Well, Rittenouse Archives has already made a collectible card program. It basically dominates the Market, so it wouldn't make much sense for another company to try and make a new game....

[Lostinmyownvoid]

After reading this thread I (an ametuer game designer) have decided to take a stab at designing a SG card game. Once I word the rules properly I'll post the first draft.

[WurdBendur]

I just want to see a game made by someone who actually PLAYS card games. Stargate has to much potential to end up like the Dragon Ball Z CCG.

[Lostinmyownvoid]

WurdBendur that why I'm making one which if there is one made it will hopefully take a leaf out of mine game's book.

Sounds cool I was thinking of making one before I read this and still might.
(I think I could do a better job of it than alot of the companies would)


i Have sent This email once and got no reply that's why i think if we get more people pressuring decipher they may give in and make one.

Most companys won't make somthing segested to them. they don't want to pay you for your Idea.

[yaaayoubetcha]

Magic was a great game, but Wizards ruined it.

When Decipher had the license for Star Wars they had a great game. Far superior to what Wizards puts out.

Decipher or Alderaac are the only companies that I'd like to see make a CCG. I think it would be great. B5 had a surge of popularity, so they should realize the 'niche' markets can be exploited.

[BGrifter]

Yes popular but not that popular decipher is the company that makes star wars, star treck, and lord of the rings trading card games.

All of which combined have less sales than Magic? Completely ignoring the fact that M:TG was the game to pretty much invent the genre? *grin*

Haven't kept up on it, but the game was approaching twenty expansions last I recall. Between the success of M:TG and Pokemon Wizards of the Coast were able to purchase gaming giant TSR, a little company responsible for a game called Dungeons & Dragons. (gee, i've totally outed myself as a gamer g33k with this post *smirk*)

I think it was alderaac that made the stargate rpg looks cool but i don't want to pay 50 bucks.

just wondering how far you got on this project. I know I said i might make one but i haven't started yet, I still might just not yet to bussy.

[Ancient 1]

I think it will be a great idea. and it will be fun
And such an original idea. :rolleyes:

[Gorthaur]

I'v started work on a card game. I would post a concept idea but I haven't had any time to work on it today, and there are some thing that need to be changed befor i ler it out relised that the game system would be very boring and hard to do ( it had a gm to make the story i thought cards to do that would make more sense. )

[[Hitokiri]Nguyen]

Well, maybe if it was an online thing and free, I'd play it. But just the thought of a CCG based on Stargate makes me shiver. I don't know, but it's not that I don't have a respect for successful CCG's, it's just that Stargate doesn't have that much stuff in terms of merchandise or anything buyable. I think it would kind of...dull it down or something. I wouldn' like it too much.

*SLAP!* *SLAP!*

HOW DARE you insult Magic the Gathering... One of the first Trading Card Games and one of the best and undeniably extremely popular games?

I cant think of another CCG that even comes close! If stargate is to have a card game, then someone should make a plea to Wizards of the Coasts because they have quality products.

:eek: HOw can one insult Magic like this? It's probably too complicated for lower IQed people anyways that deem it unplayable and stupid.

[TheHomegaMan]

In terms of gameplay, I'd say that Alderac should get the game. I've been playing their games for years, and they are the company who's games I consistently keep coming back to. Magic gets way too expensive after a while. They aren't truly in touch with the fans, not anywhere near to the extent that AEG is. And only a company more interested in money over the game, like WotC, would offer cash tournaments and the like. WotC is run by businessmen, while AEG is run by gamers.

The design team for the most recent arc of Legend of the Five Rings, quite possibly one of the best card games out there in terms of story, strategy, and gameplay, is mostly made from people who played the game and know enough about it to see trends and correct them. NEVER has an L5R card been banned. EVER. Yes, there is the odd errata, but in general AEG does it right the first time. I can only think of one dark period in L5R's history, and that was when WotC bought the game from Alderac. Ask any fan of L5R and they can tell you, WotC nearly killed the game. Ever since Alderac repurchased the rights the game has been on an upswing and is doing its strongest sales yet.

Decipher has the best visual effects for cards, hands down. Look at the real Star Wars CCG and Lord of the Rings CCG to see what I mean. Excellent use of photos. The way they do their work is second to none. The only reason Decipher lost the Star Wars license to WotC was because Decipher wanted to offer the fans set tours and possible roles as extras in the Star Wars prequels. LucasFilm denied them that chance and WotC swooped in with a fat wad of cash to snag the license.

And to whoever it was that said Magic was pretty much sacrosanct due to being the first, think again. Magic is on top primarily due to a 2-ish year headstart in the market over other licenses and an amazing marketing campaign. A solid amount of people who started out with Magic have dropped it in favor of other, better games. It may be the gateway, but that's due more to the company than the game.

OK, so overall I'd say that if Alderac could get some Decipher style art for the cards we'd be set. AEG does a solid job of designing games and keeping the pulse of the fans, an important thing given the fan base for the Stargate franchise. The moment WotC gets its paws on the license its doomed. It will be about making money, not about the game and the people who play it. Besides, given the fact that AEG already has the rights to the RPG, it won't be much of a stretch for them to get the rights to the card game as well.

[Baal_Lord]

I think the CCG would be great, but i must say magic is still the top of the line, the best!

just wondering how is the lord of the rings game?

also I working on a card game as u all may know here are my ideas tell me what u think

card game idea
1 rpg card game with a dm that makes the story and players that use cards to work tword ther goal

2 two or more players that play the roles of goa'uld, tok'ra, earth, tolan, aschen, any others. fight for taratory and to achieve goals set by mission card, (theres more to it but i can't really put it in words)

i like 2 better

things needed dice (d20), GM(1 only), players, decks.

[TheHomegaMan]

The Lord of the Rings CCG was fun, but not too terribly complex. Its basically moving a fellowship down a path of 9 locations and either being the last player standing or being the first to reach the 9th location. I played, but only casually.

Now then! Let's get this baby back on topic! WOOOOOHOOOO!

[Rail'k]

seince stargate now has a larger following then Star Treak i think that it is mor eminent that it should become a trading card game

[Lord_Burke]

Hey everyone. Since this is my first post, I am going to make it short.
Right now a company called GENIO CARDS is in the process of developing a Stargate SG-1 (perhaps the movie & Atlantis to come) Collectible Card Game. We should start seeing previews of the game within the next 2 months, as they have a release date of the Base set, set for a spring release. This is the first CCG the company has undertaken but the have a variety of popular Card products. As far as I know, Alderac was unable to develop another CCG because of the new SPYCRAFT game, it would have been too much for them to handle. For more information send me a message.

Sending them emails to pressure this company into something isn't the way to go about making it happen because they have no say so over it and can't do anything without official approval from MGM.

Right now Rittenhouse is the officially sanctioned trading card producers for Stargate: SG-1.


If you would like this Decipher company to have the rights to do gaming trading cards, your best bet is to ask them to contact MGM or send a letter to MGM yourself suggesting this for future marketing.

[Qtyled]

If it has a well thought out design, like Magic, then it would be good. I don't think it would catch on though.

On another note, how about a Stargate board game. Not like a Monopoly clone or anything. I have no idea of the mechanics, but I think it would be a good idea.

they have one already

[yaaayoubetcha]

a company called Genio has the liscence and is sposed to be releasing something this year....

genio (http://www.genioinc.com/0/index.html)

it's not front page news on the site anymore.....so you'll have to dig in the archives for the details.....

[Nate]

Ahhh and now its not even there anymore.. Genio Closed up shop..

Genio Shuts Down
After Accounting Problems

February 07, 2005
Genio's board of directors shut down the operations of the company in January. The actions come in the wake of the departure of the Susan Eisner, the company's president, in November; and the departure of three members of the board of directors, the CFO and the CEO (who had only been with the company since November) in January. Those actions took place after the company revealed that it had incorrectly reported its sales and that it was going to have a $900,000 sales hit from returns (see "Genio Expects Returns Hit"). The company's accounting firm also filed a letter with the SEC stating that the officers of the company had represented to the accountants that the sales were non-returnable.



Genio produced card games based on Marvel characters and Mighty Beans, had plans to produce a CCG based on Stargate SG-1, and had obtained a license to produce and distribute an American version of Myths and Legends, a Chilean CCG that has been very successful in Spanish-speaking countries


So What next?? Are we stuck without agame? Decipher is in huge trouble, I have quite a few friends who recently lost their employment there, big names on the game design side... Brad DeFruiter, Evan Lorentz.. The two designers that were basically keeping ST alive with descent game play. And the support staff got cut too like Kathy McCraken.. That was horrible.. So who can we look to produce this? Genio is out Decipher is out AGE sounds like they can't.. Wizards?? Upperdeck?? Is that all there is in card gaming anymore?!?!?!?! Maybe WizKids Topps??? I wouldn't mind seeing the game produced by brad and evan, but unless they have been hording money they don't have the funds..

Sigh..

Up a creek without a paddle..

Nate.

Time to contact decipher Again

[Nate]

Time to contact decipher Again
Like I said I think decipher is on its last legs.. I don't think Wars has done as well as they hoped hence leading to the layoffs... I would love decipher to have it because they always put out a great product.. (Even Austin Powers CCG) but I don't think they have the capabilities to take on the stargate license anymore.. if they got it originially instead of this bozo genio company we could be getting it right now..

[Rail'k]

Trust me they probably do.

[Rail'k]

I emailed decipher and i got this as a reply

Railk-

Getting licenses and creating TCGs takes a lot of work, as I'm sure you
realize, and a lot of time. Unfortunately, the current TCG market is
suffering from a glut of new games, and it's very difficult to launch a
new game successfully. This is a combination of retailer reluctance to
carry so many games, and licensors thinking every game is going to be a
huge hit, and asking for enormous up-front costs and guarantees.

If we ever get to a point where Stargate falls into the "viable game"
category, we'll be sure to explore the options. I'm a big fan myself,
and my wife enjoys it even more than me!

Thanks for your suggestiion,

this menes that there is still a chance

[Rail'k]

finally !!!

It has been nearly a year and a half since we first reported that Comic Images (http://www.comicimages.com/) is creating a collectable trading card game (TCG) based on the Stargate franchise (story (http://www.gateworld.net/news/2005/08/comic_images_to_create_stargate_.shtml)) -- and now the first details on the game (http://www.gateworld.net/news/2006/12/trading_card_game_coming_in_febr.shtml#) have finally arrived!

The game will ship to stores in February 2007, with 60-card starter decks ($10.99 each) and 11-card booster packs ($3.49 each). The series includes more than 200 collectable cards for a mission-based game, featuring favorite characters and technology from the Stargate universe.

Game play (http://www.gateworld.net/news/2006/12/trading_card_game_coming_in_febr.shtml#) will involve four traits tied to each member of the original SG-1 team, with starter decks available for each: Ingenuity (Jack O'Neill (http://www.gateworld.net/omnipedia/characters/links/oneilljack.shtml)), Science (Samantha Carter (http://www.gateworld.net/omnipedia/characters/links/cartersamantha.shtml)), Combat (Teal'c (http://www.gateworld.net/omnipedia/characters/links/tealc.shtml)), and Culture (Daniel Jackson (http://www.gateworld.net/omnipedia/characters/links/jacksondaniel.shtml)). Collectors can pick from one of these starter decks for their favorite character, with decks including four special, all-foil character cards.

Booster packs include cards specific to additional characters, obstacles, adversaries, and gear. Each store display of booster cards will include one ultra-rare foil card -- with six different ultra-rare cards in the series.

Here's the series description from Paizo.com (http://www.paizo.com/):
In this mission-based collectible card game (http://www.gateworld.net/news/2006/12/trading_card_game_coming_in_febr.shtml#) set in SCI FI Channel's hit series Stargate SG-1, players seek to successfully complete seven missions (or accumulate the greatest number of mission points) to achieve victory. Thwart your opponents with "obstacles," "antagonists," "disease," and the most ruthless of the Goa'uld System Lords, while simultaneously sending your undaunted Stargate (http://www.gateworld.net/news/2006/12/trading_card_game_coming_in_febr.shtml#) team of explorers into the vast unknown. This series is introduced in four 60-card theme decks (Jack O'Neill "Ingenuity Starter"; Samantha Carter "Science Starter"; Teal'C "Combat Starter"; and Daniel Jackson "Culture Starter") offered in 8-count displays, and 11-card supplemental boosters packed in 36-count displays. Future expansions of the game will include both SG-1 and Atlantis. According to Comic (http://www.gateworld.net/news/2006/12/trading_card_game_coming_in_febr.shtml#) Images, MGM will support future tournament play in addition to the game's retail presence.

Ask your local comic book (http://www.gateworld.net/news/2006/12/trading_card_game_coming_in_febr.shtml#) or collectables store to order the Stargate trading card game (http://www.gateworld.net/news/2006/12/trading_card_game_coming_in_febr.shtml#)! Stick with GateWorld for the latest news.
