Sony Online Entertainment’s new free-to-play online game Free Realms launched last week, and now it’s time for the pay-to-play collectible card game.
A collaboration between SOE and trading card [[link]] company Topps, the Free Realms collectible card game mirrors the one built-in to the PC game. A point’s based creature-dueling title, the first physical release features more than 180 colorful cards that are sure to have children annoying the hell out of [[link]] their parents every time they wander by the card aisle at their local Target. Making things even worse, each set contains virtual loot cards, redeemable for exclusive in-game pets and items.
Booster packs and starter decks should be trickling into retail locations this week, priced at $3.99 and $9.99 respectively. The starter deck comes with a 40-card deck; a playmat; and exclusive black Labrador in-game pet; and exclusive in-game t-shirt; and an exclusive in-game racing cart. There goes my disposable income for the month.
I mean, there goes parents’ disposable income [[link]] for the month. I would never spend good money for an in-game pet. Not when Baron Von Fluffy is already decked out as a kitty dump truck.
