Anyone remember the old Highlander trading/collectible card game?  It came out in the mid 90s; I actually had 2 halfway decent decks - one Connor Macleod and one Slan Quince, but then our car was broken into and my bag (containing ALL my thesis research & drafts, and all my Highlander cards) was stolen Sad  I didn't mind losing the thesis so much, but the cards were no longer in print at the time and were hard to come by.

Now it looks like there is a second edition out:

I actually rather liked the idea of the game, and I had friends who had some good decks (one guy even had a good Kurgan deck, with the Berserk cards).  I'm glad there's a new edition out; is anyone else interested?

Yep, I remember this one Smiley Though only because an Inquest mag I bought had a free Highlander card named, interestingly enough, "Inquest", showing Duncan wearing a blue American civil war uniform and a hangman's noose around his neck :p

Gosh, where were these cards available then? I don't think I ever saw anyone play this one, or any store that carried it!

I bought my 2 decks and 2 boosters at Total Rec (no longer extant) at University Mall beside DLSU Taft.  I never saw anyone else buy, and the store owner said very few were interested.  

Then, a few months after I'd given up on getting people to play it (M:tG was the big thing then), I ran into a couple of old friends (also from DLSU) who had a couple of decks each - and constructed with rares, even.  Sadly I'm no longer in touch with these guys, and I don't know what happened to their cards.

If you can bring them to the open meet, I'm fairly sure I remember the rules well enough to catch up Cheesy

Oh?  Which bug was that?

Per http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/9161, there is no recent news on the new version...

Sorry I dont know. He didnt want to reveal his secrets to me. And it was a loooong time ago. At the hight of this game. I wanted to get into this game so thats why I talked to him about it.

Decided not to. (but I really wanted). If you got a spare deck, I'll play! Hehehe..

Anyone have any plans of importing this?  I just thought I'd mention it since PUGS is now around and there seems to be a resurgence in L5R...

Thanks for the heads up, Rolf,

   I'll ask the P·U·G·S peeps to talk to the Highlander Philippines head.  I know that he's been trying to get people to learn the TCG, so with a the upcoming Season 3 set, this might be the opportunity that he's looking for.

"There can only be ONE, and that one ain't me..."
See what kind of Deviant I am...
Into CCGs?  the P·U·G·S welcomes every and all CCG players.

I think they are doing pre-con decks now, unlike when I bought mine before.  I would sure like to run a Kurgan deck...

btw, in my first post I said "Berserk" cards - I was wrong, I meant "Bloodlust".  It's a mean Kurgan card that allows him to make up to 15 separate attacks in one go Cool
