With
the Neopets Trading Card Game, kids can enjoy the thrill of
collecting cards and playing an exciting Neopets card game
virtually wherever they go. Kids can start with the Neopets
Trading Card Game: Two Player Starter Set, which
includes 2 30-card starter decks, a playmat, 2 dice, and a
bonus 8-card booster pack. A rulebook is also included.
Players
aim to win contests for their Neopets, in the arenas of
strength, agility, magic, and intelligence. If they win a
contest on their turn, they can place an item or Equipment
card in their bank. A total of 21 points of items and
Equipment cards wins the game!
Players
select 3 Neopets, shuffle them, and place them on the
appropriate stack on the playmat. The rest of the cards are
shuffled and placed on the Deck position. Each player then
draws 4 cards. The player who starts draws a card from the
deck, flips over the top Neopet card, and places it in one
of the 4 arenas (strength, agility, magic, or intelligence).
Paying attention to the individual Neopets stats, players
elect to place their cards in the arena where they have the
best chance of winning.
There
are 234 cards to collect altogether. Every booster pack includes
Virtual Prize Codes that can be used on the neopets.com site
for the chance to get special items for their online pets.
Expansion
packs are also available. The game involves strategy and
somewhat complex rules, like any trading card game, so it is
best for children approximately 8 and up.
