  • Not at the show I frequent. When I say I’m close with store owners, our kids have sleep overs. So I assume you in getting their full opinions because I’ve brought this up with the new my little pony tcg. It’s overwhelmingly adults. Even for my little pony. Sold out in a day to adults, every single one. The majority of those guys open in store.

    The kids aren’t in tournaments for the most part, you get one or two sometimes in a big one. The trade shows are mostly adults. They aren’t buying boxes off of eBay for $300 a pop. They aren’t buying from stores.

    Maybe it’s different outside the US 🤷‍♂️ but we someone with close ties to owners and a wife spending 6k a year on cards I fail to see more than a paltry amount and I have never seen the kids at school playing Pokemon or any other tcg outside once playing mtg. I just feel like I would have seen some modest population of kids at some point.





  • Can we stop pretending this is made for children? It’s a way to control inventory and force owners to play by their rules and control the brand. I have been to tournaments and the wife spent 4k on it already this year. MAYBE 2% of people I see are children and every single one has a parent with them. Given the opportunity the two shop owners I know would happily forgo this garbage and keep their events 18+ or just handle safety themselves.

    Stop giving feel good excuses for card companies to continue to turn this shit into fomo crazy events and telling people where they can fucking play and with who.

    Working out in the morning is one of the best ways to improve your life. Unless you’re about to head into heavy manual labor you should definitely go out for a run or lift.

    You’ll have more energy and be better for it. Even a broken clock is correct for the wrong reason twice a day. Fat unhealthy neckbeards are the ones writing this shit.
