NYCC News: 'Call of Duty' Trading Card Game?

Trading card game captures the frantic shooter action of the videogame

Activision's Call of Duty videogame series is, right now, the most popular game series on the market with Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat. What's made the military shooter the #1 played online game for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows PC is the frantic, multiplayer action.

At the New York Comic Con, Upper Deck is introducing a trading card game based on it. But in a unique twist, they're trying to capture the adrenaline pumping action of the game by adding a real time mechanic. In most card games, you make a move and wait for your opponent to take his turn. No more. You don't wait. You keep laying strategic cards. If you snooze, you lose. That actually sounds pretty cool. We'd like to see that in action. We'd also like to pity the poor tournament judges.
