Hey! So, have you ever heard of a trading card game, or TCG, called Chaotic? No? That's not a surprise. The fact is, Chaotic died out about 3 years ago. Not because it wasn't popular or anything, it was very popular, but because of lawsuits involved in royalties and ownership of the rights.
Chaotic was owned by 4Kids entertainment. They kind of sucked, or did suck, back when they were still a thing. After they declared bankruptcy, Chaotic collapsed. How unfortunate. This left loads of fans, like myself, without anything to do. The amazing website (that really was what the whole game was about) shut down a little over a year ago.
I would like to bring it back.
I know this really isn't anything most people care about, I mean, it was just another random kid's card game, right? Wrong. It was original, it was fresh, it was dynamic and interesting and fun and easy to play. Why did it die out when many of the more popular card games (that are almost all just carbon copies of Magic) get to live on?
Let me tell you a little bit about the game.
Each and every card you got would be given it's own unique code at the bottom. This was the lifeblood of Chaotic. You could use those codes to upload your own, exact copy of the card to the chaotic website (chaoticgame.com), where you could use it to play against other people online.Now a days, they have Pokemon and Magic and all sorts of online card games, but Chaotic was the only one that did it really well.
Imagine, Yu-Gi-Oh, a really popular TCG. You love the game but there's never anyone around to play it with. So you buy the cards and then what. Nothing. You can't do anything with them if you don't have another flesh and blood person sitting in front of you playing with you.
Chaotic was different. You could hop online and play against thousands of people around the world. Isn't that pretty great? Your cards would never be useless!
Besides, the art was always beautiful! Anyways, I'll talk more about the specifics of the game in the meantime.
