Story : Technical Skill or Luck ?

Someone can just Strike GOLD for 1 play ...while others may not be so lucky....hours of play only get Normal cards...

You may have it seen it , heard about various stories or even expereince it yourself before !!

Maybe its just pure LUCK ?? ....or is it more than that ? Is there any secret Technical skill involve to indentify where the foil cards (Bronze, silver, Gold) are within the deck ?...Have you guys think about it ?

Here are 2 stories to share. The 1st one is about luck and the other one is about PERFECT technical skill.(wow...it really exist ??)

STORY 1 : "Daddy, I want to have GOLD Lion"

This is a real story about LUCK.

This father bring his son to arcade at Bishan Junction 8. The son saw the lion card sample displayed at the Animal Kaiser machine and told his father that he like it very much."Daddy, I want to have GOLD Lion"

They have played Animal Kaiser before but only get those normal cards...no silver , no special Gold card

"Ok...Lets play 2 machines side by side" we will aim for Lion !" say the cheerful Daddy

He exchange for a bagful of token coins and pass half to his son who played at the next machine... Both of them start to focus on the game and keep playing....

After almost playing for about 20 rounds...there is still no Lion , no gold..the daddy is tired and give up playing. However, his son beside him is still excited about this game and he continuing playing. the father just stand behind him to watch.

Few minutes later, 1 small boy come by and sit at the same machine that the father had played previously. This kid play 1 game and when the game ended...he press the button to collect his card below....

The father was curious what card this boy will get...and inside his mind ,he was thinking.."Aiya...sure those lousy card again lah...nothing will be special"

The boy took out the card ...the Daddy nearly fainted on the spot !

The kid just got a GOLD LION CARD for the very 1st 1 game !!!


The father was speechless...this card should be his IF he can play for at least 1 MORE GAME !! Argh ~~~~ heart pain..

Until today, when the father told me his story, he have not got any Gold Lion card yet.(Only have 1 bald eagle Gold in their collection)

STORY 2 : "Next card is bronze.."

Same story share by the father about his another experience where he encountered a man whom he called "GOD of Animal Kaiser"

One fine day...
The daddy sitting beside his son watching him playing the animal fighting exciting game. The boy had been playing for quite some time and they decide to stop playing.

During that instant, 1 man wearing a spec (i think he was with his wife?) was standing behind the father & son start talking , "Continue play , your next card is bronze Giant Panda animal card"

The father turn around and look at him , "I do not believe that you can tell what card is next". He chosse not to play as he do not beieve in such a prediction wild guess. Must be a joke ! (he was thinking to himself)

The same man with spec sit down and play the game on the same machine ,while the father/son watch from behind.

Very soon ,the game ended...the card come out...

It was this card :


The father was amazed !! How can the guess be so accurate!! That guy know the sequence of the deck so well that with this technical skill, he can tell what is next the exact card !!

The father paid $1.50 to the man and bought the bronze Panda card from him as he was short of this only bronze card. (he had the other 5 bronze animals)

The story end here.

7 Rumours about Version 2

Rumour(1) : Version 2 card stock had arrived at Zone X HQ on 23/10/206...so it means version 2 is coming very soon !


Rumour(2) : There is no upgrade of Animal Kaiser machine software...the staff will only place the new version 2 card deck into the slot....so it means Japan card version 5 and above still cannot be used in this round !


Rumour(3) : Those who win the tournament (Version 1) 3 times ...can now play again when verson 2 kick off (wow...can reset ?....so competition become more tough with these EXPERT joining back the fight !)


Rumour(4) There are saying that some machines will continue to be load with Version 1 deck (until stock run out) even when Version 2 is officially launch ! ...it means that player still can get the old version 1 cards...while stock last ! (Bad news for those who want to collect version 2 set) Another new story i heard is that version 2 deck will be those cards mix randomly from both old version 1 and new version 2 cards ...Wow, this will make getting Verson 2 card set much harder !!


Rumour(5) : Version 2 tournament will present Champion Great white shark for 1st prize...and that the price for version 1 Champion Lion will rise and in demand (Stock up your champ lion card now and sell high later !)


Rumour(6) : Some say each version is 3 month period while there is news talking about 6 months period for version 2 before version 3 come in next. (How to maintain interest for 6 mths ??)


Rumour(7) : One of the 2 strong card 4-4-4 or 5-3-3 will be in Version 2 list (not sure abaout this until the card listing is out !)
