\"\"<\/a>I felt bad that I wouldn\u2019t be able to post any articles until after next week, because of E3. But luckily, brother Jeff stepped up to the rescue! Jeff has always loved playing cards. Even when he was little bitty, he would get out a regular deck of cards and make up his own games. I soon learned that when I played these cards games with him, there was only one rule that remained steadfast: \u2018Jeff always wins!\u2019 As he grew older, he enjoyed playing cards in video games like Pokemon TGC, Yu-Gi-Oh, the card mini-game in Final Fantasy 9, and SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash (I liked that last one as well). Even now, Jeff enjoys challenging his friends with Magic: The Gathering and the World of Warcraft card game. Jeff\u2019s always game for cards, so when I showed him this free-to-play PC game, Sword Girls, he wrote a little mini-review!<\/p>\n

Sword Girls is a free collectible trading card game which plays out of a web browser. It is reminiscent of the World of Warcraft trading card game, in which you have one \u201cmain character\u201d card which has a set ability and many other cards used to back up and defend your main card. The game mechanics are very simple and easy to pick up, but it leaves a lack of strategy as your ally cards attack your opponent\u2019s cards randomly, even if attacking a certain card would kill them.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The game is based around sort of an anime schoolgirl\/maid or other anime stereotypes. Some of the cards are pretty scantily clad, for example the \u201cHot Springs\u201d versions of the main characters. There is also some violence that can be seen on the cards but it\u2019s usually just blood.\u00a0 –Jeff<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sword Girls isn\u2019t rated by the ESRB but I would imagine it would get a T for Teen rating. It\u2019s a card game, and I didn\u2019t see any violence or blood while watching Jeff, although there is some blood on the artwork of some of the cards. I found the anime girl pictures on the cards more campy than suggestive, but then, I didn\u2019t see all of them! (Kid Factor by Cary Woodham)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
