GAME mechanics

  • Hand Management - In the X-Men Trading Card Game, hand management is crucial to maintaining control of the game and making strategic decisions. Each player starts with a set number of cards and must decide which card to play each turn, considering the possible effects and how these cards interact with each other. Knowing when to hold certain cards to optimize your future moves or surprise your opponent is essential. Often, depending on the situation, you'll have to choose between playing a powerful card or protecting the one that could be a lifesaver on the following turn. I remember the time when a quick decision in a tournament made me discard a card that seemed useless at the time, but would have helped me win the game. Planning, analyzing and always expecting the unexpected are key to this mechanic.
