Review of a dead CCG: SimCity - Boardgame Reviews

That's right, a review of a long dead CCG. Why would I do such a thing? Because if you're at all like me, then you've probably played CCGs back in the 90's, but eventually quit them like they were a bad drug addiction when you finally came to your senses. You haven't touched the stuff in years . But then, one day, you came across some of your old cards out in the garage, or up in your closet behind some old stuff, and you took them out and looked through them, enjoying the feeling of nostalgia and fondly remembering how fun some of those games were (or how horribly bad, depending on which cards you found). A lot of the CCGs you used to play are now long dead, and a thought occurs to you (inspired by LCGs, games like Blue Moon , and some CCG draft formats you may have heard of). You've played the games like Blue Moon and Dominion  that purportedly "scratch the CCG itch" and discovered for yourself that whoever said that is just fooling themselves. A large amount of cards for a dead CCG can be bought for much less than most board games cost, and they potentially offer much more variability and replayability. Thus began your cautious foray back into the world of CCGs, if only to aquire some cards that you can use as your own non-collectable card set. You're interested in old, cheap CCGs and how suitable they are for play in a "non-collectable" format. If you're at all like me, anyway. I picked up a couple starters and boosters for SimCity: the Card Game upon seeing it in a game store not too long after it was released (1995). The only extra sets they ever made for it were starters based on specific cities (there was one for Atlanta, Chicago, Washington DC, and New York). It shouldn't be hard to find cards cheaply online nowadays. Unlike most CCGs, you only need a couple starters to have all the cards you need to play. As a CCG, it's sort of weird; Mayfair has managed to make a CCG devoid of most things that define CCGs. All players play from a common deck and lay cards (city blocks) to score points. Each card has a bunch of numbers on it (like value, population supplied or required, polution, and crime) along with depictions of power lines, roads, and/or rails, and a plain-looking photo of the building represented by the card. Everybody builds a single city together.
