The Metagame, the card game for people who love to discuss and argue about video games, has always been one of the more popular items in the Attract Mode shop. It’s also been sold out for quite some time, and I’m constantly asked when we’ll be getting more in. Well if you’re one such person, or better yet, a lucky owner of a deck already, take note: the game has been reborn!
Above are a few cards from the prototype deck that co-creator Eric Zimmerman was nice enough to pass along. And as you can tell, it’s not just about video games anymore, but culture as a whole. Yet it’s still about making ridiculous arguments with your pals.
And like so many awesome things that you just wish was in your hands right this second, those behind the scenes need just a little bit of your help to make it all happen. Eric and the rest of Local No. 12 have just launched a Kickstarter to fund the brand new edition. Details are all here, but real quick: the final deck will contain 250 cards covering everyone’s favorite culturally relevant artifacts that you’ll either have to advocate or tear apart.
And yes, video games are part of the mix. You can still see if your friend can build a case as to why Angry Birds is indeed better than Doom. As silly and as impossible such a task sounds.
The deck alone costs just $25, which is an absolute steal. I’m hoping everyone picks up a deck, or three, because I’d really like one of the proposed expansion sets. The classic games one is right up my alley, but so is the one on Star Trek… Anyways, the Kickstarter just launched and has 36 days to go, but don’t let a single one of them go to waste!
