Hi everyone !

I’m unfamiliar with board game but I want to try them. Unfortunately I have no one to play with irl so I’ll try them on my iPad instead.

What are the best ones available ? Does they go on sale often ?

Preferably ones I can play with people online and not just offline.

I like games with lot of replayability, variety and depth.

Also please don’t just name drop. Explain why you think your game is a good choice.

Thank you very much

Okay sorry for the noob question lol.

I do not know anything about the game and just started recently. I only buy some booster and mostly singles in real life but nothing else regarding the TCG.

So i do not really understand some things in the card dex.

First of all there is 2 different way to see your cards right ? One is the principal set and the other is all cards (So here it would be all 613 cards including all variations of each card correct ?)

But if you want less clutter and want to use just the base view there will be flots empty even if you have the card in another rarity than base one right ?

Is there a way to see your collection with just the rarest one you have ? So you know which one you really have none of ?

Since I just started should I focus on getting all "J" cards in 4 copies ? If I understand it correctly they are the ones currently available that will be used the longest in standard format ?

Also I do LOVE some kind of cards and would like to want how they are called so I can search all the cards like this that exist and see which one I would like to collect.

For exemple in this set :
Marill number 232/217 with a star

Or

Branette 234/217 with a star

This kind of non ex full art cards are my favorites and I want them all lol.

-----------

My goal playing this game is to just have fun. I do not chase the meta or competitive play. I do want to collect lot of cards and tinker lot of differents deck to have fun with cards I like.

In fact if I could complete some set I would be delighted. Collecting pokemon cards is too hard irl because i'm too poor for that but in this game I can collect all I want for free and I will keep it for years AND be able to play with my cards. Best of all worlds.

In fact, the 613 cards set seems to have so much pretty cards I want to get lof of them !

So, any kind of tips regarding my objectives will be greatly appreciated.

Wish you all the greatest day
