WCW Nitro Trading Card Game (2000)

About this game

Get in the ring! Welcome to the WCW Nitro Trading Card Game. This starter game hurls you and a friend into the ring, for intense, one-on-one action! Experience all of the savage action you see on TV—only you're the one throwing down bone-crunching, backbreaking moves on your friends! After you master Jeff Jarrett's and Buff Bagwell's high-flying moves in this starter game, pump up your deck with additional Wrestlers, Move cards, and Thunder cards available in Slap Packs. Simply slap 'em into your deck to add power and effectiveness to your Wrestler. Then take your deck anywhere . . . and put the hurt on challengers everywhere! Goldberg, Sting, Jarrett, and Bagwell . . . all of the big boys are here. So what are you waiting for? GET IN THE RING!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
