I have the idea for a Card Game, A Collectable Trading Card Game.

It would be cool if it could be made into a computer game.

I came up with this idea when i was in middle school, Some say the idea is similar to FF8s card battle system, I actually had this idea before I ever played FF8, and even though it is similar it is different.

I was thinking of calling the game Elementals or somthing.

Any ways I want to base it off my Story world, the characters and cards.

Any who, if it was able to become a computer game, I had ideas, like if it could be a flash or a MMO or somthing, could have it were people make a account, they get a starter deck. They also get to customize there character that is there avi. They get cards in a few ways, by battling npcs they can get cards for winning, can trade with other members, can use the Bet Card Feature were if you were to have a match with some one, you can bet cards, and if you win you get the opponents betted cards or if he/she wins gets your betted cards. It is a optional. The other way is they will be able to Purchase Boosterpacks and or single cards.

There can also be ternaments were you can win special cards and trophies to show off. I figuered if it ened up beign alfash web based sorta game, then users could also have there a personal page or prophile page were they can change and edit like on gaia, and show off there won trophioes and favorite cards.

The system is somthing like:

---2---
3-----8
---4---

And there will be a grid, but each card has a certain element, and teh grid has elemental slots. You can only play that element on a element slot or if its touching another card of that element.

Each player has there own token color like blue or red, If you were Red and opponent was blue and you played a card next to the oppnents card, and the touching number was higher, then you get to put your token on that players card.

There are special cards called God Cards and they can be played any were, and can take the place of another card.

There is also somthing called force cards that do not have numbers but instead can be played on any free Tile, and becomes a element for you.
So if you wanted to use fire, but there was no fire tile or card in the area you wish to play it, play a force card that has the element fire, adn you can play your fire card there.

There is also special cards called Descardable Cards, were they dont get played on the board, instead when you play it you descard it and you get to do what ever it is the effect is, such as revive a card with total attack power of 12.

ok total attack power would be all four numbers summed up.

Then there is also combo cards that can add effects and be played at the same time as another card, so say the combo card says +2 and you play it on a creature card that lets say the sides said 4,6,2,3, then you ad +2 to all four numbers so it would now read 6,8,4,5.

It may be a little confusing with out any pictures but this is my card game. I was surprised to see FF8 had a similar idea when I first played it, but at the same time my game is different. So you know im 21, so i started getten ideas for this since middle school thats about 7-10 years ago something like that. I have actual cards I made, about 7 - 10 years ago, to prove it. lol I jsut have nto gotten around to completing it but if I had help it be cool, I would really like to try making the game once more only into a Computer game would be neat.

And how do you defeat your opponent? would it be like a kill all your opponent's beasts or destroy your opponent's life count?

what I have pictured is like a game map where the field is full of little soldiers except they are stationary, do they have a ranged attack? and how do you take over a square if there isn't any more room on the field and the sides are evenly matched? are there post-boost cards? and do some cards require sacrifices?
