No need to apparently. I hemmed and hawed because I didn't want to invest in another CCG, though it looked rather unique and interesting. I debated over it because I didn't know how well it would go over with you guys. Personally I like the game itself but I think it is cost prohibitive to start investing in. I don't know the different avenues of approach you can use in the game, building a fast fleet, a fleet meant for battle or what have you but I get the general impression that at the time there was a limited amount you could do that before running out of ideas. I don't know if that is really true or not as I never bought cards or closely examined the cards. I avoided it because once I heard that you had a killer combo that was nigh undefeatable I felt like ' oh well... '. Maybe if the cost goes down a bit and there are more cards that can present different tactics I will check it out and maybe it'll experience a resurgence with us.

Try Letters of Marque and Reprisal. Excellently simple yet detailed system. Definitely spices things up without adding too many rules to remember. http://kaperbrief.net/index.php Enjoy!
