This is a valid point. As long as the only thing to do with cards is trade them, AND as long as there's nothing else of value, why trade? Only one person can win and all cards are destroyed, and all trades are essentially of equal value - no motivation. I'd leave the Trading Card game as is, and hope to develop some sort of other economy; e.g. so that someone working on collecting Rubles or whatever can use cards to get rubles, and vice versa. Also note: I'm personally waiting to see if this becomes an official Rule, so waiting for the promotor, to propose ideas like this. -G.
