Mega Man card game will make me even more poor

Get equipped with Trap Card!

Jasco Games, the company currently making that Mega Man board game, is using the same license to produce a set of cards as part of its Universal Fighting System line. I say without any sarcasm or cynicism that I think this is pretty cool.

Jasco is currently at Gen Con in Indiana showing off the Mega Man UFS cards to the public. Inside each of those spiffy tins is a starter deck, three booster packs, three Robot Master promo cards, and a vinyl playmat. Art from both the games and the Archie comics adorn the merch, which ought to go on sale this October for $30 a tin.

I don’t play CCGs, but I love card collecting. I haven’t had a proper card collection in years, so I’m due to get back in the habit. And maybe I’ll try to learn the UFS rules at some point, too.
