Nakama TCG: Main Community

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.

Nakama TCG Is Now Closed.

Closing Nakama is one of the hardest things I've had to do in a long time, and I probably put it off longer than I should have. With college, life, stress, and the holes in my leadership skill set, I've been hearing my common sense tell me that I can't keep running this for much longer and have ignored it as much as possible. But eventually, it started to become obvious how run down the TCG was getting and how it either needed a massive dedication of time or to be put to rest. Sadly, I can only do the later right now.

Nakama was the only active TCG to my knowledge that allowed western cartoons and comics, and that alone makes this hard as a huge animation fan. But the worst part is knowing about all the other people who enjoy Nakama and all the work everyone has put into it. No matter how much I tell myself "This is a game and other things need to come first" I still feel like I've let you guys down. And myself down - there are so many things I still wanted to do as a mod and so many decks I still wanted to master as a player!

I hate seeing TCGs close, and while I didn't found Nakama originally, it feels like my baby. Running it has been a massive learning experience filled with challenges, great people, and fun. Even though I'm sad now, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, I feel more like a part of the TCG community than ever and look forward to at least being a player in other great games for a long time to come. And maybe someday I'll at least be able to run a small website TCG for western animation because seriously, I love anime and all but I really enjoyed collecting ponies.

If anybody is interested in running Nakama, has some experience as a mod working with FTP and MyTCG, and doesn't mind that it's a fixer upper, please PM me.

Thank you so much to every mod, past and present, for making this run last as long as it did. Thank you for running fun games. Thank you for making gorgeous cards. Thank you for putting up with the antics of a first-time owner who really tossed herself into the fray without nearly the technical knowledge many of you guys have. <3

Thank you to all the players who breathed life into this community, had fun, and made it so hard to shut it down and I'm sorry I couldn't have made the experience last for years to come. I hope you all hold onto those lovely mass badges and have good memories of your time here. :)

If you haven't already, I highly recommend joining pairings_tcg or colors_tcg to fill the void! They're both wonderful and have aspects that inspired Nakama.

Oh no! Tony's checking the Avengers information database and it looks like one of their files got corrupted. Help him out quickly so he can fix the error and move on to something more exciting. You just have to tell him the deckname and number of the messed up card! For your trouble, I'll give you two cards if you answer correctly.

Welcome to Lost at Sea! As I'll be taking over the game from now on, I thought I'd start things off with a special round. If you can give me the name of these three locations and the series they're from, you'll be rewarded with two single/special cards per correct answer and an extra two puzzle cards if you get all three, totaling out a possible eight cards!

Need a hint? All three places come from three different installments of the same series.

Last Friday afternoon, Zim tried to take over the world again. Seeing as I'm the sole line of defense between him and total Irken domination of Earth, he came for me first...

Sorry about last week! I just forgot since I'm a terrible person, please forgive me.

Free Samples 20

2014-01-20T02:50:23Z

Posted by: unlocks

It's fun to play the games in order to make your card collection grow but wouldn't it be even better to get cards for nothing once in a while? What? You're saying nothing comes for free in this world? Well, that's true... for the most part as I have some freebies for you today. All you have to do is leave a comment and you will receive two random cards. Technically commenting isn't exactly doing nothing but it's certainly worth the effort, don't you think?

This round ends on February 3rd.

Karaoke Party 18 *SPECIAL

2014-01-18T05:23:10Z

Posted by: yuugiri

Saizo was forced to take part in our karaoke party but, fortunately for him, he doesn't know the song they're supposed to sing. I am not sure if I would like to hear him sing, I can't quite imagine that even, but do you think you can help us out?

This is yet another special round to celebrate the anniversary! (But I probably won't do anymore until the next event). There are three songs to choose from. One answer will earn you 2 puzzle cards, two answers earns 2 puzzle cards and 1 regular card, and all three earns 3 puzzle cards and 2 regular cards!

These songs have a certain theme: They're all from an anime that first aired in January 2013. One opening, one ending, and one insert song. Good luck!

This round closes January 31.

Previous Round: "The Bells of Notre Dame" by Alan Menken (and Stephen Schwartz) from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

She takes pleasure in torturing others and has a history of murder. ... Is it really okay for us to come in contact with this person?

Hi everyone! Yes, I'm alive. ORZ. I'm really sorry for how late the release/event is this month - I just started my first term at college and organizing my schedule with both my homework and the hobby I love is proving to be way more challenging than I expected. -_-;

The deck release should be on the 18th at the absolute latest, but in the meantime, I'm opening up donations for the next release. From now on, donations for each new month will open on a set date rather than whenever the release is out, so everyone isn't scrambling to get things in last minute if I can't get the release out as early as I like.

I feel like I say this way too much, but thanks for all being so patient with me as I continue to fill in the holes in my TCG management skillset. ^^

I forgot about this game again I AM TRASH....

In this agency, organizations and groups can post ads about their missing members so we can help them find those members! This week's ad is from a groovy gang of mystery sleuthing teenagers, and two of their friends have gone missing! This is the information we have so far:

One is, like, a cowardly dude with messy hair that wears a green shirt and brown bell-bottom pants. The other is a great dane with, like, brown fur and black spots and has a blue collar. Their friends left us with a few boxes of dog treats to try and lure them with. Yeah, no, not just the dog. Like both of them.

Have a lead? ~~Comment with the lost character's name and the series they're from to receive 2 cards + 1 puzzle card!~~

SPECIAL ROUND!!! Comment with BOTH lost characters name and the series they're from to receive 4 cards + 2 puzzle cards. And because I forgot the game last week and was late this week, if you tell me the name of the group these characters are in, as well as the name of the snacks they eat I'll give you a random ticket!

This round is closes January 16!

Last round's answer was Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians
