'The other problem I see with this game catching on is that collectible pieces are going to cost much more than collectible cards.'<br> I think a better analog to Navia Dratp would be the 'Clix' collectible miniatures put out by <a href='http://www.wizkidsgames.com/wk_home.asp'>WizKids</a>. Booster pack containing only a handful of pieces run something like $10 in the US. Still, I'm not sure that a chess variant will be able to compete commercially with clicky games. I agree that the name is horrible, but what I think about it is a lot less important than what Bandai's target demographic thinks about it.
