And just because I am curious, how many of you would have enjoyed a real life trading card game based on Transformers than an app based one? My point of view (not based on a/the transformers card game.)

Well, a real life trading card game, some countries may not have that specific kind of card game. If you want to play with people from other countries who also play the same trading card game, my guess is you have to go to that country to play with other people(Just my thought). Adding on, in my country, most of the card games are just "single-player", where no team effort/teamwork is required. You usually will talk to your friends/talk to whom you know. And, if you do happen to talk to strangers, it will most probably be in a competition/event that is held locally.

Whereas, in this app-based game, you can form your own deck, be it a free one, or a paid one. Exclusive cards are also available for purchase, just like in a real life trading card game, known as "booster packs". It really depends on your luck whether u got the card that you have wanted. But to get the raid cards that you have wanted, it is rigged as hell, or just pure luck. In terms of playing the game, during events you can play with your allies, from all over the world, as this is an app on the Google play/Apple app store. Adding on, teamwork is required to defeat bosses/get certain rankings. You can also chat with other people, the chat on the bottom right is one of the things that helped in terms of teamwork. At first we are just "strangers", but after a while we started adding allies from there. To be honest, 98% of my ally list comes from this wiki itself. With the wiki and forum, communication between each other/giving tips and tricks/strategies are possible.

All these are just my opinions. I do not mean to do a direct attack to anyone. Yeah, the multiplayer is a good draw. I think that some card games have digital codes to unlock stuff online to play with people from other countries, but I was just wondering how many people would spend their money on actual cards. The $200 that some people pay per episode would get you 200 $1 packs (or 100 $2 packs, etc.). But the app is free and most of the cards are so you have me there.
