Need help making heads or tails out of all this

[cerealkiller]

Hey everyone,

Recently, I inherited a collection from a close friend who passed away. It includes cards from various game types. I've watched the starter video and have a basic understanding, but I'm unsure of what to do next. Can you play this solo, or is it better to have someone else? I remember my friend didn't have local players, yet he wanted me to learn. However, back in 2003 when he first introduced me to it, I wasn't in a position to invest in such things.

I'd greatly appreciate any pointers or information on mastering this game. Additionally, I've shared a link to a picture of everything I received from his collection. Thanks for any help you can offer!

1. First, and most importantly, I'm very sorry to hear about your friend's death. I hope you're doing as well as you possibly can given the circumstances.

2. You can definitely play the game alone: many of us do, myself included, and it's still a lot of fun. Playing with a friend would probably enhance the experience some but that's up to you in the end.

3. In terms of mastering the game my suggestion would be to start with the basic rules for the first little bit until you get a feel for how the game works. You can then add in some or all of the advanced rules if you choose. You can even try just adding in one advanced rule at a time to see how you like it and how it impacts the match flow. If you discover that something isn't working you can always change it up as there's definitely a degree of trial & error to this game.

4. That's quite a collection your friend passed on to you. I'm a relative newcomer myself (1.5 years) so I know it's probably a bit overwhelming seeing all the various cards and wondering how you're ever going to be able to possibly use all of them. My suggestion would be to just go at your own pace. One of the benefits of being a newcomer is that if you're eager to bring in some new wrestlers to your Fed you're not sitting around waiting for a new set to be released by the company.

5. Are you planning to just play casually or do you plan on running a wrestling federation? If you are planning on running a federation and if you are eager to use a large chunk of the cards at once you can always divide them up and run multiple promotions. That way wrestlers don't get lost in the shuffle. For Champions Of The Galaxy it looks like you've got a good mix of older and newer sets so you could always run a classic Fed starting with the 2087 Starter Set and a separate Fed starting with the 2119 New Beginning Starter Set.

6. Finally, welcome to the community. We have a fun and supportive group here so if you ever have any other questions or need clarification on something we'll be more than happy to help.

I hope this has been helpful. Best of luck on your game journey.🙂

I would just echo what Paul said 100%. The only thing I can add at this point is the official motto of this game. "It's up to you, promotor". Meaning once you have the basics of playing down where you go from there is completely up to you.

Good advice above and sorry to hear about your loss. I would add You probably should play a couple of games in basic against two wrestlers that interest you. Maybe standard match or two and top it off with a specialty match using basic. You can then paly the feud using the advanced rules and follow the same sequence but finish with a cage match. That way you have a rivalry with some natural ups and downs.

Later on you can roll couple of basic tag team matches before moving to advanced as well to get the feel. There is no wrong answer though so make sure you have fun first!,

We’re having a virtual con in a couple of weeks. There will be tournaments going on so you can see how the game is played, talk with other fans

The virtual con is a great idea. Sit back and watch, ask questions as they come up.

If you're in a tournament, the person running it can go through the match and explain the various things. It's just an ask away.
