Other deck building games have been a lot of fun. They have had things holding them back, however. Some play like solitaire, not The Basketball Deck Building Game. Some are unbalanced, with drafting cards that only one side can play with. We have team cards, but you can choose which to play with if you don't want a random team. Some have too much luck as a factor. In our game, you don't have to 'buy' a card every round, so if you want to be able to draw a card at a given time, don't build a very large deck. This has been tweaked and worked on heavily! We wanted some randomness to take advantage of the card game aspect as well as in real life basketball, some weird stuff can happen like a pro athlete missing a lay up. We have a mechanic that you don't have to discard your whole hand at end of every turn for some teams, this is huge to limit the randomness. In the end, we believe this is the most balanced and strategic game to hit Deck Building. I have been looking for ways to make sports games for a long time. I always felt like something was missing or didn't make sense. This game is not all inclusive, when it comes to Basketball, however it is very balanced and a lot of fun! New rules as of November 6th, 2011. I hope this helps those that were confused as how to play.
