Don't think there are many poker players here besides the occasional game or two.

Poker isn't a ccg by any stretch, but I suppose that would be the best place for it. And we don't have any pro-level poker players as far as I know.

I don't know, I did come out 25 cents ahead in the last penny/nickel game we played here.

I'm well on the way to professional gambling!

Perhaps we could change the forum name to "Card Games" rather than "CCGs" to accomodate things like Poker and Flux and Uno and TTICG

But would that include Castle Falkenstein? Its an RPG that uses cards rather than dice.

I'd say it's primarily an RPG, not a "card game" any more than a normal RPG is a "dice game"
