Stargate Online Trading Card Game Interview with Evan Lorentz
DreamStation.cc was fortunate enough to interview Evan Lorentz from the Stargate Online Trading Card Game. Based on the hit series that was spun off from the feature film, the Stargate Online Trading Card Game takes ten years of Stargate SG-1 and turns it into an innovative online experience as well as a paper trading card game for playing in person. Be sure to check back with DreamStation.cc when we review the Stargate Online Trading Card Game.
DreamStation.cc: For those of our readers who are mostly into video games, what exactly is a Trading Card Game (TCG) and how well does the genre lend itself to an online game such as the Stargate TCG?
Evan Lorentz: Unlike regular card games, where all players share a single deck of cards, a trading card game lets each player bring their own deck of cards that can be customized to his own personal strategy. He can choose from any of the cards he has collected, and might use different decks in different games. Just as sports trading cards show you the different statistics of specific athletes during specific seasons, the cards in a trading card game are all different, and depict the specific ways they each play when you use them in a game.
The trading card game dynamic is well suited for online play. The computer polices all the rules of the game, so you don’t have to be concerned if you come across a card you don’t completely understand. The computer also allows quick and easy management of your collection, and offers tools to make building decks a snap.
