Greetings STCCG players!
I'm entirely new to the STCCG. (For background, I have dabbled in the SWCCG, but mostly play MTG and Netrunner.)
Re-watching TNG on netflix, I found myself wishing there was a deep and complex card game for Star Trek and specifically TNG. Then I remembered decipher made one. So happy to discover that a) There is an active group of players continuing the game and b) I can still obtain sealed product for the early game very affordably! I've been poking around the forums for about a week now absorbing as much as I can, but feel I could use some specific guidance.
For now, I mostly want to explore the TNG setting and learn the game from the ground up. My wife will be my first opponent in a "kitchen-table" environment. Here is what I've purchased so far:
6 x Premiere booster boxes
4 x Alternate Universe booster boxes
2 x OTSD exclusive card pack
1 x Fajo collection
I've also downloaded all the TNG block virtual cards and will print these once I get the hang of the base game.
Are there any other products I should invest in to round out a nice card pool for casual, kitchen-table play??
In the future:
I would really like to play with the Borg Faction !
What product makes the most sense to purchase in order to play casually?
It seems First Contact would be the place to start, but is rather pricey. Voyager and The Borg sealed product are still somewhat available and reasonably priced. Should I start there?
Lastly, if/when I get the hang of the game, it would be fun to play with some people in real life (besides my wife). I'm in San Diego, CA. It seems there is at least a small playgroup here. Any tips on weekly/monthly casual meetups?
If I want to really get into the current meta with a modern card pool, what products should I spend my money on?
Thanks for the help and reading this long winded post!
