4.0 out of 5 stars Cool in the end but I was confused, July 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pokemon Edition of Blast! Create Your Own Collectable Card Game (Paperback)
I didn't understand that you have to have Publisher98, Acrobat or Photoshop to use the disk that comes with this game. If you don't have these programs then you need to use the paper templates that they give you. This was confusing. But then I read the book and figured out that I could make all the games with just the paper templates. It was like the ulitmate model building and I worked on the cards for WEEKS and loved every minute of it. I actually made pokemon cards, star wars cards, and a set of spider cards for my brother.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for either very little ones or computer savvy teens, May 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pokemon Edition of Blast! Create Your Own Collectable Card Game (Paperback)
Though I really enjoyed giving this book out to the children of my friends and to my own five year old daughter, I wanted to make a mention about age. I just photocopied the card templates included with this book and gave a pile of them to my daughter. She drew her own Pokemon (adorable!) creatures with colored pens and then I had them laminated and cut them part. She had a lot of fun and I consider the cards a "keeper" in my Baby Scrap Book. I also gave the book to a co-workers son (Michael, 13) who loves computers and Michael reported back that he loved it. He made more than a 100 cards with pictures he got off the Web and has "mastered" the games. However, when Michael's brothers (8 and 10) tried the book out they were frustrated because they just wanted something that made cards for them with little work on their part. So, I think the book is great for either very little ones who like to draw or older children who are driven and self-directed. This is not for pre-teens (or teens for that matter) who want the quick and easy craft.
