Sonic X Card Game Review

Dec 27, 2006

Sonic who? Sonic the Hedgehog is the high-speed blue dude. He and his friends battle the evil Dr. Eggman for control of the powerful Chaos Emeralds. Now, with the Sonic X Trading Card Game, you can control the heroes and villains and battle with your friends! Here's how it works and how cool it is.

Playing the Sonic X Card Game

The Sonic X card game is easy to play! Each player lays out five cards in a grid, face down, then flips them up, one card at a time. Each card has a number and a color, if those match your opponent's cards or have a lower value than one in the same column you eliminate those cards. Some cards have special abilities too and you can combine those to score extra points. When all the cards have been flipped up, whoever has the most Rings wins a Chaos Emerald. First player to three Chaos Emeralds wins!

High-Speed Fun in the Sonic X Card Game

The Sonic X card game is easy to learn and really fast to play, woo-hoo! You can also get started with just three booster packs so it's cheap, and you don't need to worry about collecting uber-rare cards to play a good game. Plus, the strategy is decent and you can get some cool combos with the card powers.

Turbo Lameness in the Sonic X Card Game

The biggest weakness with this game is that it doesn't feel like you're playing a Sonic the Hedgehog game. It's like playing a card game that happens to have pictures of Sonic and his friends on it.

The Final Word on the Sonic X Card Game

It's a fun game that's easy to play without spending a load of $$$. It's a bit disappointing for hardcore Sonic fans, but it's still a fun game that has some solid strategy to play with.
