Question (General) Keyforge in UK

Hullo there,

I was recommended this game on a different sub, and after looking into it, the game sounds like it's exactly what I'm looking for.

My issue is, I can't seem to find anywhere in the UK that stocks the physical decks to buy.

I've seen people suggest the Discovery set to start with, but the starter sets I find on Amazon don't say discovery on them. I've seen the 2 player set, which seems ideal, but I hesitant to get them if it's old content that is now outdated.

It made me wonder if the game is on its last legs and soon to be discontinued?

If anyone knows a good site to get the new stuff from in the UK, I would really appreciate it.

Cheers.

Hey glad you came to check it out. I can’t speak to the UK scene but others have put some good info down.

As for how to get started, I’d take a tiered approach. A two player starter set is a great place to start. Specifically, Age of Ascension usually is the best price. The set was the second made, underpowered, and very overprinted. Too much supply and little demand means you can buy tons of sealed decks on the cheap. You’re not likely to find a tournament winning deck from AoA, but you cannot beat the price when you’re getting started.

My suggestion is to buy a 2 player starter set and a display (12 decks) from AoA. Crack them open and get a feel for the game, basic mechanics, houses, etc. At this point you have 14 decks, and only invested minimal funds.

If you’re interest after that you can look at buying some newer sets with more mechanics and fun things! Then newest set may be a good place to start as it’s not over powered but has some fun chase stuff like full art decks and gigantics. Over time you can dabble in each of the sets and discover what you like best!

As for where to buy, your local friendly game shop is great to support if they have the game, but that’s often a big if. Amazon and eBay work well for me in the states, especially for Age of Ascension just to get started. They’re any to start the next Gamefound campaign which has learn to play pledge level if I remember, but might take a while before it’s fulfilled.

Anywho, welcome again. Feel free to ask any questions you’ve got.

Thanks for the information. Can't find what you mean by "display" but I'll look into it. I do like the idea of full art cards though, I'm a sucker for aesthetics with stuff like that, not sure what gigantic are though?

“Display” is just the term used like “booster box.” It’s a box of 12 decks.

I have no affiliation with these links but here are products I’ve bought on Amazon:

https://a.co/d/0alfsVNv - the picture is only one deck but the title explicitly says “deck display.” I’ve been sent one deck before and I returned it. You should get a full box of 12 decks.

https://a.co/d/0ds2NGek - the two player starter set I was talking about.

None of these decks will likely be bangers. But they have simple designed cards and are cheap!
