I hesitated for months around buying this game due to all the marginal printed reviews. However, I finally read enough to decide that it sounded like the type of game I'd like, being a former Magic The Gathering player, as well as enjoying other collectible card games.

I'm really glad I tried this game! I loved this game; I sell nearly every game after I'm done with it, but have not yet been able to part with this one as I still go back to play it.

If you like collectible card games like Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh or the like, I'd highly recommend Neverland Card Battles.

You start with a base set of cards, build a deck, and battle it out with opponents. Win or lose, you gain cards to improve your deck. Instead of playing resource cards, you move yourself and your creatures around to gain land, and that land allows you to play more cards and also pays for cards currently in play.

There's a fair amount of strategy in taking land and using creatures to hold that land, block the opponent, etc.

There's also the metagame of deck building. The game allows you to save 3 different deck designs; a great touch as you'll likely have at least 2 decks to use depending on who you're playing and where you're playing.

There are some issues with cards; a few are broken in power. But if the few broken cards bother you, you can choose not to play with them in your decks.

Overall, I loved this game, being a fan of collectible card games and the metagame of deck building. Whether or not you enjoy that style of game will determine whether it's worthwhile buying Neverland Card Battles.
