![]() ![]() ![]() It really depends on the player, how their brain works, and the time commitment of learning EVERYTHING about the card. There are several layers of strategy in both games, and to try to compare the two and declaring which one is easier to play would be damn near impossible. This difference, at least in my mind (and watching my son), makes Legends of Runeterra easier to pick up, especially since reading is still a little bit of a struggle for him, and then trying to interpret what he read in regards to the game just leads to frustration. You then look at the Legends of Runeterra cards and discover that there are very few cards with very lengthy descriptions on it, and they basically cover all of the bases (what can it do, what effects on the game at large, etc). This, of course, is to make sure they have completely described what the card is, what it can do, and what effects it has on the game at large. Most of the Pokemon cards, not the actual creatures, but all the other cards, seem to have a short story’s worth of text shoved onto it. Let’s start off with the cards themselves. I would immediately assume that Pokemon would be the easier of the two for him to pick up, you know because of the cartoon and the fact that he already owns physical pokemon cards, but I would be wrong, dead wrong. He’s taken an interest in The Pokemon Trading Card Game as well as Legends of Runeterra. The reason is that my son is starting to play. That right there, the learning curve, is something I’ve really noticed as of late. Sure with the advent of online gaming it definitely can make things a bit easier, but there’s still the learning curve. The biggest hurdle that I’ve had to overcome, almost every single time, is that it's hard to find people to play against. Since then I’ve dabbled in Legends of the Five Rings, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Middle Earth, Dominion, Pokemon, Hearthstone, and now Legends of Runeterra. ![]() I used to pour over every word that the card held hoping to find something that no one else had discovered so I’d have an advantage over them. It’s interesting that when I was growing up it was all about Magic the Gathering and the creation of the perfect deck (I always aimed for what I liked to call a Chess Deck (Black and White)). ![]()
