It's tougher than yu gi oh and has better meaning than MTG

I play because it's the best game besides Magic (not saying Magic is better, they're on the same tier imo), you don't have to spend a fortune every time new cards come out, and I like most of the people I see at tournaments.

The people I get to hang with that I normally wouldn't. Scheaf, Pol, Colin, Daniel w., etc.
Oh and my love to abuse any game system which the no banned cards allows me alot more options with it. Yugioh's banned list changes so often its crazy.

It's a freaking awesome game! so much strategy, it's great!

I enjoy the Redemption community, fellowship, strategies, competition, family friendly game play, I can share with non-believer gamers and non-gamers, I can share with Christian gamers and non-gamers, the Biblical background it teaches with scripture, tournaments, meeting new people/players, and all the whoopie-wows and whizz-dings that come from being part of something so great.



Godspeed,
Mike

it's just really fun and i made new friends plus it's way better then MTG and yu gi oh

I play for the community and the fun.  I play Redemption over other TCGs because it has a Christian base which makes the game more enjoyable.

The game simply is one if not the best tcg I have ever played, there are so many awesome strategies and the tournaments are super fun. Oh, and most of the people are really fun to hang out with especially here in the southeast.

"You just played WHAT?"

Those reactions alone are worth it.

I was going to start this as a thread and then found that it already existed.  So here it is:

Top 10 reasons I love Redemption (not necessarily in order)
1 - The Biblical basis for the game
2 - Rob Anderson, whose generosity and focus on fun and fellowship are awesome.
3 - The great players.  People like Gabe, Arp, Kirk, and Maly.  They win and exemplify Christ doing it.
4 - The great leaders.  People like Reyzen, Bryon, Berkenpas, and Schaef.  They invest themselves as a ministry.
5 - The great sellers.  People like Ken, Michalizn, and Brad.  They keep the game at prices where everyone can play.
6 - Old friends who I've reconnected with through the game.  People like Jon and Archibald.
7 - New friends who I've made through the game.  People like Brian Reid (RIP) and too many others to list.
8 - My local playgroup who I get to teach the game and play with regularly, and who do better in Bible class as a result.
9 - The strategy of the game that keeps me having to think, and react, and learn.
10 - The forum, where I get to talk about deep things (and hopefully impact some lives), fun things, and learn new ideas.

Bonus - Hopefully someday this last one will be getting to play with my kids, but they're a bit young at this point

I originally got the card from my mom when I was like six or something. When I found out my buddy Nicky played, I re-met Daniel (Polarius) and we started playing Redemption like every week. Now, it's just what we do. On top of that, I get to hang out with all of the [k]razy people.

I found this game mainly just because I loved collecting cards since I was young, but my dad thought that my Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards were "The Devil," so he found Redemption for me about five or six years ago and bought me my first starter deck. So I started collecting, and I learned the rules of the game from a friend, and I started going to tournaments, and now it's pretty much built into my system.

Now that this has been necro'd up, I thought I'd mention that I passed on the top of the class in my first college Bible course without reading the textbook once because of Redemption.
