It's really strange I think. I hardly ever play anymore (no one around here
has even heard of them) though once in a while
I build a deck or two. Just for fun. I wish (as do probably most of us that
lurk and watch the list for something of interest) that it
had been a more successful game. The net expansions are cool but is lacking:
there is none of the spectacular art work, which
made the game that much better. So now I see offers to sell boxes of cards
of a "dead game" and I look at my stack of
approximately 4000 cards (including two of every rare save the promos and
cyber-psychosis).

Now I am trying to decide is it worth collecting dust and playing
occasionally or to get rid of it all.

It was great Crack while it lasted!

Greetings
Like yourself, I find it hard to get a game going. I usually
Shanghai the wife or one of the kids into playing. As well as having to make
little concessions(usually, its having to follow up with a game of the original
Star Trek card game(Shudder)). I have heard it mentioned on a message board
somewhere, that a Pbem program is being worked on. Whether it gets completed or
not, is something else. But there are still ways to play by Email, but they take
a good while to complete. As far as the game being dead, well, I believe that
the future expansions have been put on hold ( read canceled ).

Joe.
