Title: I stumbled upon you guys
Post by: Eponymous on August 03, 2012, 10:21:51 AM
Hello, everyone.

I played Overpower for years, from the beginning until the sad days of its (official) demise. I have held onto my collection but my wife and I stopped playing a few years ago.

Earlier this week, I found a couple of DC booster boxes in a clearance bin, picked them up and went looking online for GMJr's card listing. Turns out I still have my old files (including a couple of drafts for a Kingdom Come fan set, for example), but the search brought me to overpower.ca, and through them, to you.

I am now living an hour out of Toronto and would love to join you for games sometime.

The Eponymous Pablo.

awesome!

you and the wife should join us at one of the toronto meet ups.  i think the next one is later this month, and is a casual 'meet-n-play'

Great to have you here in the forums. The more, the merrier.  :) You are fortunate to be near the Toronto area since there's a great group of Overpower playing guys over there.

I'm hoping to get out to the meet-ups whenever family and work allow. I really need to brush up on the rules; having played a number of CCGs over the years, I often find myself asking myself "Do I draw 7 or 8 cards?"  :o

I was thinking of writing up a page on the Wiki as a quick refresher for people coming back to the game.

Glad to know I'm not the only one! I only ever played one other CCG (Pokemon) and that was over ten years ago, but I still second guess whether I draw seven or eight every time I play OP.

Count me in on forgetting whether to draw 7 or 8. LOL Especially after not playing for a while I have to stop and really think about how many cards.  ;D

the thing i forget more often than not is to re-draw for events

i assume this is since i more or less learned on opo, where it auto draws for you
