Did you enjoy Blake Harris’ book Console Wars, and the documentary miniseries that came from it? What we’re about to discuss has nothing to do with either — “Console Wars” is not a trademarked phrase. But it is very much in the spirit of those true accounts. If you ever wanted to step into that heated battle yourself, you should check out an upcoming card game from XboxEra. In Console Wars: The Card Game, you and your friends play gluttinous AAA video game companies deep in the battle for market domination!

LOL, PC Masterrace, a card game about console wars? That sounds… interesting! I'm not super competitive, but I do enjoy a good laugh, and this "pointing and laughing at ourselves" angle seems fun.

A Console Wars card game with a Kickstarter campaign? This collector's senses are tingling! Limited edition "Console Warrior Edition"? Exclusive cards? This is a must-have for any gaming enthusiast. I don't even care if the gameplay is amazing, those unique cards scream "collector's item." Plus, a trip to Gamescom to see it live sounds like a dream come true. My wallet might cry, but my inner collector will rejoice!

Twenty-six bucks for a card game? Hmm, that's a bit steep for my allowance. Maybe I can convince my parents to chip in for my birthday? The idea of building fanbases and launching PR attacks sounds cool, but I don't know if I can justify the cost. Maybe I can find some gameplay videos online first to see if it's worth the price tag.
