TCGs have long been a brother-in-arms for many gamers. Unfortunately, many of the online TCGs available require a deep pocket, a dedication toward memorizing tactics and rules, and a willingness to sit around during off-hours as you wait for an opponent to come online.

"Urban Rivals" changes that.

The Cheapest TCG
A massively multiplayer trading card game, "Urban Rivals" is not only the most entertaining online TCG I've ever played, but it's also the cheapest: free. In all of the commercial offerings, being able to compete in a computer-based TCG requires the purchase of numerous booster packs or themed packs, building just the right deck in order to dominate everyone else. In "Urban Rivals, " though, you can play without ever spending a cent, and eventually it won't matter thanks to the nicely-packed user market, which allows you to purchase cards using in-game money ("clintz") earned by winning.

The basic rule
In case you still haven't quite figured it out, the game revolves around card battles. Each player is required to construct a deck with a minimum eight cards; once a challenge is instigated, four random cards will be taken from each player's library, and be pitted against one another. All cards sport both a power, and a damage number. Power determines which card will beat which; for example, if you use a card with 5 power and your opponent uses a card with 2, there's a very good chance you're going to wipe the floor with him. Damage determines how much you hurt the opposing player when your card wins its duel; each player starts with 12 hit points, and the one with the lowest after all four cards are used is the loser.

Further more
While the game is simple, it's not that simple. On top of damage and power, cards also can obtain abilities, such as increasing their own power, decreasing the opponent's, or even copying the attributes of the card they're facing. So yes, the game is easy to learn and simple to understand; but no, it's not so simple that a good strategy is meaningless. Against good opponents, "Urban Rivals" is just as mind wracking as a game of chess.
