    Mushiking

    Not sure if this should be here or in first play, anyway. I was in Oriental City over the weekend and happened upon a rather fun little Sega game called MUSHIKING.

    Its a card based beetle battling game in a miniture cabinet. The idea is a simple rock, scissors, paper fighting game. First you scan in your beetle and then you scan in attack cards, which are assigned to either hit, throw or pinch.

    That's it really, but it just felt so cool and the cards were fun to collect after each game. There was a pretty big crowd of kids around the machine waiting for me to finish playing. I had to kneel down the machine was so small.

    There is some tactics involved in pairing up attacks with beetles which are compatible, (there are little markers on the bottom of the cards which need to be lined up).

    Anyway was wondering if anyone else had seen or played this and what they thought. For my money its Sega arcade gaming at its best, simple and fun.

    I'm craving this game, could this be the next Pokemon or Yu Gi Oh?

        No that would be way too cool, however check this out from Sega toys. 8) I can't make out whether they are real or not???

        I'm just exploding over this game at the moment. The cards are really high quality. First one I got was some sort of limited edition holographic one too.

        Looking at the official site the game might have some layers of complexity I've not delved into yet.

          My 4 year old has picked up on this game, and has collected a handfull of cards.

          Anyone got any ideas of which cards to look out for?
          Whats the best Beetle / Throw card etc?

          He loves 2 player but I have to let him win, he's very competetive!

              Basically any beetle card that has a holographic finish is good. Power and skill stats are key, power is the base strength of the beetle and this can be added to by using the skill cards. However the skill cards require a certain skill level (of the beetle) for it to be effective. Try to match up the symbols at the bottom of the cards double circle is good, triangle is bad.

                Can't get that site up, but found http://mushiking.com.sg/

                & all is now clear.

                Would have worked well on my SP card swipe
