[X] Poll: Trading Card Game
Distribution isn't the issue, supply and demand is. Using the example of a spy network, we want to be able to communicate with the out-of-the-way villages regarding orders and the like, which means they will need to buy the cards on a semi-regular basis. And poor villages aren't going to be willing to spend a lot of money to buy cards as entertainment, when compared to whatever they have/had on hand. Which means they will need to be cheap to be worth buying. Like, really really really fuckin' cheap. And I don't see us making much of a profit from that, since we need to burn money to make the cards, plus startups and the fact that we need to keep printing new cards (not new copies of old cards, original new cards)...it'll make profit eventually, but it's going to be a long time FMPOV.
We have no need to use it as a source of income in the short term, first we can use it as an excuse, like Jiraya uses his books: a way to share information with our agent and create interest.
At first we don't even need to sell cards, give an hundred randomized decks at merchants and make tournaments with an entry fee, for example, or completely free for the first year/month/months or so.
Make people interest and curious, while using it to increase the importance of ours merchants(using the power of the press that others places lack) and a way to share information with them.
For making the people play it, just imagine.... "The game ninjas play" or "the game the Hokage son invented for his father's meeting, a games created for Kages".
At first free/pay to entry for tournaments, no cards involved... an experiment. Then start adding some decks with mythics/rare at random in them, making people curious and once the game is completed Bam! Release on the curious people that saw other people play it,the ones that played only the normal decks and want to try the real ones, and so on, the cards and sell them...
For competitors, between the technology of the press and other unconventional ways, not necessarily violent, we could have a monopoly/oligopoly in ours hands.
And i'm still posting just before going to bed, on my phone, goddammit.
