"The race is not always to the swift..." Alternative Wins in EVE: TSG. Part I.
By Brian Connolly
Part I: Tower Wins
To the casual CCG player, one of the most off-putting things can be the feeling that the competition is just too intense. You’re constantly finding yourself up against hardcore players who have amassed a wealth of heavy-hitting rare cards, whose decks tend to rip your “Starter Deck + two boosters” attempts to shreds. So how do you beat down these tourney-winning, noob-devouring monsters?
Greetings and welcome to the new EVE: The Second Genesis web site. This short guide will aim to explain some of the strategies behind EVE: The Second Genesis.
Regardless of the type of game you are playing - be it a computer game, a board game or a game of poker - making a series of unrelated short-term decisions means that you're essentially playing the game. It might even win you a few games. If you want to win consistently, however, you must have a strategy for the long run. In this game, that strategy has a lot to do with money.
Hello there! I’m Calmdown, and I’ll be your host for the next, well, however long it takes you to read this article. I’ve been playing collectible card games for around 12 years, and the Eve-CCG since it first came out on pre order. With the assistance of my trusty playgroup here in Liverpool, I’ve managed to clock up something in the area of about 300 games of Eve: TSG so far. I’ve written this article to help Eve beginners, whether new or old to CCGs, understand the basics of deckbuilding and some of the game’s unique facets. I’ll hopefully be covering more specifics of most of the topics discussed here in future articles, so stay tuned!
