Recently walking through a shopping mall, my attention was caught by this banner. I thought it was some advertisement, but upon closer inspection I realized it was a display case to help those who have no way to get playing cards. We can take one card from the top shelf as a gift. The section below, is for exchanging. We can take more cards from it but also have to leave some in exchange.
My attention was drawn to the DragonBall cards. Oh my gosh! They are so colorful and shiny! So beautiful! Besides, they are quite thick and do not bend as easily as, for example, Pokemon cards.
Recently I wrote about my lucky pickup in a department store that reignited my inner dragon ball fire. Since then, I have expanded my collection to over 300 cards! I am really into it now and need to stop myself from buying cards in bulk too much. It is really tempting. I got myself a binder that can accommodate 360 cards, which is nearly full. EDIT: I ordered a second one. I LOVE how the cards look against its black background. I keep the cards organized by characters and the age/era they are from. For example, Goku in his early years, Goku in his teens, or in different forms. I don’t know. For now, it seems to make the most sense to me. For some, these cards are just pure collectibles, and for some, they are used to play the arcade game of Super Dragon Ball Heroes. From what I know, the machine to play the game is available only in Japan.
When you insert 100 yen, the equivalent of 1 dollar, you get a card and a chance to play. Alternatively, you can keep inserting coins; with each, you’d get another card. To play the game, you need 7 cards. After choosing the stage or opponents you want to face, you must place the cards on the game screen (bottom). They serve like Amiibo, and soon your charters will be visible on the screen. There are 4 areas on the screen where you can place your cards - 1 support area and 3 attack zones. The support spot restores your energy; the attack areas add more to your attack power the closer you place the cards to the front. But the damage also is increased there.
During the game, we don’t do much except for pushing a button at the right time when the action bar is full. This determines who deals damage and how effective the damage or our block is. Each card has some abilities, and some of them can be combined with other cards/characters to activate special attacks. When are also some more interactive elements when we have to move the cards in different directions to power them up or even place our own hand on the screen to perform successive blocks. It all started with me picking a few cards from the exchange spot a month ago… and now they bought me in with the gorgeous card design. The cards look really cool, and my favorites are the 3-star ones, which in my opinion, look somewhat better than theoretically more valuable 4-star ones. Maybe I don’t have any good 4-star cards, I guess.
Ostatnio przechadzając się po centrum handlowym, moją uwagę przykuł ten oto baner. Myślałem źle to jakaś kolejna reklama, ale po bliższym przyjrzeniu zorientowałem się że jest to gablotka, która ma pomóc tym którzy nie mają możliwości zdobycia kart do gry. Z górnej półki możemy wziąć sobie jedną kartę jako prezent. Część poniżej zaś służy do wymiany. Możemy z niej zabrać więcej kart ale także musimy zostawić jakieś w zamian.
Moją uwagę przykuły karty do DragonBall'a. O ja cię pierdziu! Jakie one kolorowe! Jak ładnie się błyszczą! I jaka elegancka kreska! Poza tym są dosyć grube i nie wyginają się tak łatwo jak np. karty Pokemon
