Card Game Creation

I want to create a card game. The refrain hasn't faded since it started this morning. I thought one based off Krae Virdani would be interesting, and I also thought I was thinking about a trading card game.

Hours of research have set me straight. Since I don't 1) have a large circle of friends to collect anything with and 2) don't care to sell it, I am probably thinking along the lines of a "dedicated" card game with an TCG feel. Like, you'd have all the cards, but still build a play deck from it. That's loose at the moment. 

I can't say I've ever played a trading card game. Sure, I've played a few rounds with my husbands M:tG cards, but those were his decks, and they were some mean decks. In fact, I can't touch them any more. (Something to do with beating the creator with his own deck, no doubt.) I have to build my own decks if I want to play, and I don't care to play that much.

Either way, the idea of creating a game has always lingered. I halt every time I start thinking of a computer game to create. No passion there. While thinking about ways to print the Nysidra cards I just finished (not a game, but still cards) the card game idea occurred to me.

I'm still doing research and jotting down notes. I think I know a theme I want to go with, but I have a few game-minded friends that I want to consult first: Jesterman, The Gnat, and Corkchop, to be precise. On this project, I actually know people who could provide insight into the mechanics. 

We'll see.
