Every so often I feel like playing a competitive game, check the local scene and find the same games. Sure, a couple new games come and go but the mainstays are always the same: CCGs and miniature skirmish games.

These games can be really fun at first, but things quickly change as players get excited and ambitious. They start expanding their collections at a different rate, get curious about tournaments and suddenly playing is not enough. They have to win.

With new content being released, old content being rotated out it takes a lot of money and time to keep up. It's very hard to find players who are just as committed as you are.

This leaves me with a paradox: I want to play a competitive game ...in a casual way? I want a game that is easy to pick up and play and where players can't buy their way to a higher chance at victory.

Friend of mine did that with Netrunner post-death. Found a few people who wanted to continue playing semi-regularly, picked a few boxes, that's their pool. No adding, no removing, just a limited box of cards to choose from.

That sounds perfect! I imagine that would work particularly well with Netrunner since it motivates players to be unpredictable.
