Playing trading card or TCG games has been a very popular hobby by a lot of people for many years already because of all of the fun that it can provide. Of course because of its immense popularity, there are many contests and tournaments that have been held worldwide so that many players from around the globe can gather and test their skills. So just to give an idea on which of these games have made it, here are some of the most popular of all time.

A lot of people will probably know about the ever popular Pokemon trading card game that has been a huge fad ever since the series came out. Even until today, the Pokemon franchise is still maintaining its dominance by creating more comics, more television shows, and of course more trading cards. The reason why this game can appeal to so many people is that it is a game that people of all ages can play.

The next card game that came in second place after Pokemon is Duel Monsters. Duel Monsters is a very popular card game that came from the Yu Gi Oh series that aired sometime in the nineties. Because of the unique characters and the special moves of the characters of the cards made the whole game very appealing to all audiences.

A similar game is none other than Duel Masters which is actually made to be sort of like Duel Monsters. The only difference is that the game play is much harder and needs more thinking and strategy making. As compared to Duel Monsters, the moves are more complicated and indirect.

Magic the Gathering is yet another very popular game that made it in the spotlight. Many people like this card game because the design of all of these cards are nice and colorful. With regard to the game play, it takes a little bit more brain and creativity when thinking of good moves to make.

Probably the hardest card game to play would be the Lord of the Rings card game because of its complex nature. This card game is actually targeted to an older audience like teenagers to even adults that are in their forties. Since it requires a lot of thinking, it is possible to commit a lot of mistakes while playing.

Now a card game that is more suited for a younger crowd would be none other than the Harry Potter trading card game. This one is more targeted to those who like to collect cards instead of use them for competitions. This is actually because the design of the card is very pretty and it would therefore really appeal to people who do not play that much.

So for those who are familiar with TCG games, these are probably already familiar names. These franchises were by far the most popular in the past years and stood the test of time. Until today many people still play these games because they are very entertaining and is something that one can do during spare time.
