Includes two packs of Redakai cards (22 total) and a clever device that both stores the cards and opens to become a portable "battlefield" to keep cards nicely stacked during game play. If your opponent has an X-Reader, too, they conveniently snap together.
For the basic battle, each player selects a single character card and constructs a game deck consisting of anywhere from 10 to 40 ATTACK and MONSTER cards. Since each booster deck contains 11 cards (typically a character card, 2-3 Monster cards and the rest attack cards), this starter set contains ehough cards for a two-payer game. But it is really designed to outfit one player. Having two packs allows you a little some flexibility when you construct your deck. But fans of the game will no doubt want more cards, especially since there are not enough cards to play the advanced version of the game: you need at least three character cards - per player - to play.
The game itself is played a little like the classic...
Easily the coolest card game I have seen in a long time. It's similar to other trading card games, but the cards are holographic, which had me and my friends transfixed. The game play itself is simple enough to understand at first, but then you discover that online there are instructions for an advanced game. This is less easy to grasp, and since we only had one set of cards, it was difficult to try this part. Still, one of my friends and I spent the better part of an afternoon playing. Val (F15)
As a starter pack, Redakai comes with the basic card holder and cards. The 3D cards (both creature and attack cards) is what impresses the players the most. The convenient storage of the cards in the portable battlefield is what impresses me the most! Kim Moennick, Parent
