  Even just bringing up Duel Masters for a second reminds me how much I absolutely adored that game as a kid. They really took the most promising game & shot it behind the shed

  Some guys at work have been playing digimon way more than actually working

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-endwHLS_0&amp;t=562">9:22</a> correction. The old digimon card game didn&apos;t have particularly fixed evolution lines. They frequently had multiple digimon they could digivolve from or to, although the list was fairly restricted compared to today&apos;s open digivolution paths.

  I&apos;ve only played two games of the Digimon TCG, but one thing that I found really nice about it compared to Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! was that there wasn&apos;t a single point where I had to search my deck for a card, then shuffle my deck, which can slow down play considerably. This is in part because of how cards could digivolve into each other by steps interchangeably instead of fixed lines or requiring fixed combinations of cards.

  Great video! I agree a lot with how digimon resource system tries to fix some very well known issues with other systems. A piece of feedback, though: please make sure your slides show up long enough for people to read text/cards. &nbsp;Some are shown for a split second of time, like the tts logo.

  This game really reminds me of some European-style modern boardgames, particularly Patchwork with the memory resource system, and Wingspan with the effect stacking. Maybe the tight &amp; elegant gameplay elements were inspired by those styles of games?

  Loved this video, please make more. I’m researching developing a card game and this was very insightful

  My completly arbitrary rule for playing a tcg is it being turing complete

  Nice video! I&apos;ve heard a bunch of praise for Digimon&apos;s resource system in passing, but this does a really good job laying out why people like it so much.

  One thing to keep in mind, the oldest digimon card game failed here with how the game play got edited.

  Other resource systems you might find interesting are WWE Raw Deal Lord of the Rings TCG, and the Star Wars CCG (Decipher)
