Cardfight!! Popularity

If you remember at the first of the year we reported that Cardfight!! Vanguard was going to be released as a trail run here in the U.S.  Evidently, this trading card game has become popular enough that Bushiroad has awarded UltraPro the license to produce and market Vanguard accessories which will include card sleeves, playmats, and deck cases.  The expected release date is set for February 2013.  If it has become popular in your area you might consider adding it to your library’s playing card tournament events.

New TCG for Marvel

This might be one Trading Card Game libraries will be interested in that have gaming collections and tournaments.  Upper Deck is working on a Marvel Universe deck building game.  It is being designed by Devin Low, formerly of Magic: The Gathering.  This game is fairly familiar in that players will battle each other, but it has one twist, the game itself has built in villains that attack the players trying to destroy them.  No release date is scheduled yet and the working title is Legendary.
