I've been playing games for a long time, and I will admit that with age I'm getting more and more lazy.

I love card games, but I don't want to bother anymore with opening packs, making decks, trading cards, researching the value of cards, etc...

I really just want to sit down and play.

This game has me very intrigued.

I totally agree! I just hope my local game store gets people to play and FFG has some sort of prizes or ranking for players even if it is just through their app.

I wouldn't consider you lazy, but wise beyond your years.

All of that went by the wayside when we found out there were better ways to spend our time. I prefer playing war-games to painting minis; and I prefer playing card games to opening-sorting-researching-deckbuilding-buying-trading-etc... This game seems right up my alley. Not a big investment to start, and really, what two gamers couldn't come up with a way to defeat the "unique" aspects of the game? Like morning cereals - straight outta the box or add your favorite fruit.

You should try Smash Up: Here's how you build a deck:

Step 1; you pick a faction

Step 2: you pick another faction

Step 3: you pick all the cards belonging to those factions and you shuffle them together.

You now have a deck.
