Tonight I stopped over at my parent’s house and went up into the attic and found my old WildStorms CCG cards. I have four boxes filled with cards which have sat up in the attic for about 10 years now. Waiting….

Waiting for the day when one of the kids becomes old enough and interested enough in collectible card games and wants to play with me. Eva started a few weeks ago becoming interested in playing Magic the Gathering. I had a couple of starter packs and she asked if she could use them to play. I said sure and we played a few rounds. I figured it was time to dig these out so that we could play. I have an almost complete collection of cards somewhere, in a giant rubbermaid tote, probably also in the attic. Way back in 1997 or so when these were being produced I ordered them by the case. I traded online and I was very knowledgeable of the cards. However, I never played. I knew no one who played. So I’ve been Waiting…

Waiting for the kids to be ready to play. Now they are and now we must learn the rules of the game and then put together decks with which to battle. There is a comic book version of the rules somewhere in my archives that I also need to find, but in the meantime I found a WildStorms CCG resource page that has all the rules on it. I’ll get Eva a copy to read and we can play in the near future. I the meantime I need to find my collection and see about completing it. I have 6 cards missing, I think.

At Sweet Suite I ad the good fortune of coming home with two Lightseekers Starter Packs (Affiliate Link). I have worked with the PR rep for TOMY for a number of years and he set one of each pack aside for me. I was really thrilled to finally play this game. Then I got home and time passed and I got swamped with so many things. I kept seeing posts from the Lightseekers Official site and Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. I saw the toys in Toys R Us and on Amazon.com. More time passed and I did not get to playing the game. I had no excuse, too. I had opened the Starter Packs in New York so that I could carry everything home. the boxes are huge! I even picked up some accessories at Toys R Us to use including a Starter Deck for the Tech element (Affiliate Link), a Spinblade 3000 (Affiliate Link) and a Flynamo for my Tyrax character, Jax. There is a whole heck of a lot that goes along with this game and so I made the video below to explain it the best I know how and to give you a look at how everything works.

Lightseekers is a Toys to Life Game, but it is more than that. Lightseekers are action figures, but they are more than that. Lightseekers are Augmented Reality, but they are more than that. Lightseekers is a Collectible Card Game but again, they are more than that. There are so many facets to Lightseekers and it is only continuing to grow and expand. See what I mean in the video below.
