Why it started
OpenTCG has started about a month ago, from the wish that there was some real _free_ system for playing Trading Card Games on-line. Yes, I know there's Magic WS that you can use too play on-line but frankly it's way to primitive for me. First of all, there's no automatic judging at all - you have to do everything, and I mean EVERYTHING manually. Also, the game really lacks much of the Magic feeling. I realized that when I first started it and it displayed a big list of 11000 cards. A TCG/CCG is fun BECAUSE it's collectible, because you DON'T have all the cards.
Ah, there's a lot of reasons why I wanted to make this -
a nice concept of it all can be found here.
