Card of the Week: Yu, Venerable Lord
|
| Adversaries were actually one of the later additions to Stargate TCG; in the earliest incarnations of the game, they were little more than glorified obstacles depicting the major villainous characters from the show. Even once they were broken out into their own separate card type, the rules of how they worked went through a few changes before settling into their final form. This version of Yu is arguably a small homage to the very last take on adversaries before the final version. |

Card of the Week: Harsh Conditions
|
| It was in late 2006 that Stargate TCG was finally starting to look like the final version that was released in print and online. The cards had all been written and were in the midst of careful playtesting. The designers were waiting to hear about "image approval" from a number of the actors from the show. I was betting that Amanda Tapping wouldn't say yes to images like this one and Blood of Sokar. But to her credit, she's proven very willing to be pictured in not-altogether-flattering settings. (You'd be surprised, but in the work I've done on various other TCGs, I've learned that many actors don't always like to be shown... well, actually acting like this.) |
