What is tcg?

I'm sort of halfway doing the card deck on the site, but they've also got some marked with a (TCG).  When I google it all I can find is the in-person trading card game that is sort of defunct now.  Do the site cards have any purpose, or is it just "oh, I've got this!"?

i only know what jellyneo says about them.  it was a RL game you could play with friends using real collectable cards (think pokemon trading cards) - as far as i can tell there's only a collectable value to them.  bragging rights maybe?  if someone else has better info i'd be interested to learn as well.

There's two seperate decks. There's the Collectable Cards, aka the NeoDeck, those are the ones that just have names (usually characters) and a picture, and show up on your profile (https://www.neopets.com/games/neodeck/index.phtml?owner=col_mack). Think of them like baseball cards! They have a hiscore table, but otherwise serve no function.

And then there's the TCG deck, or the Trading Card Game, which are the ones that are based on the old IRL game deck, that have rules for a game similar to Magic the Gathering or YuGiOh, which are collected here: https://www.neopets.com/tcg/album.phtml and I guess at one point you could play matches on the site? That looks like it's gone now, though.

So basically unless I make a page in my gallery for them, they do nothing?  That's what I'd wanted to know.  Thank you!

You don't even need to make a page in your gallery for them, there's existing albums for them on the site. But yes, the TCGs have no purpose.

Huh.  Just bought a cheapie one from the shop wiz, put it in, and now can't find it.  Lol, my luck.  Where is the album for it?  I swear, I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached, so why are collectables any different 🤪

If you mean the TCG cards, they're here: https://www.neopets.com/tcg/album.phtml

I'll be honest, I had to google for that, I don't even know if there *is* a link to it from anywhere else on the site! :upsidedown:
