@lpdude72 Actually they did it with SOE as a PC game. Called MtG - Tactics. I tried it, and i don't like it much. Same with Guardians of Graxia. It just feels like cards are pushed to the background and in reality you are playing a clasiic turn-based strategy game. Having to watch the field/board and all the possible movements distracts from the playing cards aspect. And they change mechanics a lot to make it 3D. I still prefer classic MtG game.

@icarius87 thanks for that last remark. I helped getting the new artists in gear for this edition and I am glad the artwork is as well received!

@spiderfingers86 the collectible aspect is only OPTIONAL not mandatory.

There should be a game of the movie eXistenZ.

@lpdude72 NO not another variant, I just managed to get the other 4.98 x 10^15 other ones down!

Just pretend its not collectible then, this game is completely playable out of the box with nothing more ever needed.

Existenz is German and just means Existence

How long until we see a Dicetower version of Monopoly Tom?
Quite a good review. But from my own experience with this game, there are a few points I disagree with:
1. It's NOT a collectible game, all the stuff you need is in the box.
2. He says it's nearly impossible to reach one of the end dots, which is not true. For example, the arnunnian alliance deck has a great speed strategy which is hard to beat.
3. Too bad he doesn't mention the fact that a lot of flavor has been added. I love the story and the new amazing artwork.

@jamstrat yeah after looking more into and finding a video where the designer states that the boardgame components dont have to be collectible. That gives more interest to checking it out.
