But with the new gToons, they've severely upped the ante. gToons are collectible virtual stickers that work like a trading card game. You buy them just like cToons, and put them into 12 card "decks" just like Pokemon or Magic. Although gToons are part of Cartoon Orbit, the game interface is totally separate from the cZones. So you can easily get into a gToons one-on-one match without all the loading and waiting of navigating through the endless labyrinth of user cZones.

That's the deckbuilding screen. You can also see what the gToons themselves look like, and review their special functions. Wilma there is worth 10 points, her color designation is black, and she has no extra powers.

You win by ending the game with the most points, or by achieving a color victory. To win by color, you need to have more cards of both the 2 chosen colors than your opponent (the target colors are chosen by cutting the deck before the game begins.)

Here is a finished game... which I won by points, 45 to 38. Games are generally very quick, and every action is timed, so you don't have to worry about human jackholes trying to stall you out. You only ever get 7 gToons in play... 4 in the first round, and 3 in the second round. This is my animal-themed deck, based around Boo Boo's ability to give +3 to all animals in play, and Taz's +5 to all neighboring animals.

I won this game by color. I ended the game with 2 blue gToons and 5 green gToons (thanks to Green Lantern's function of turning all neighboring gToons green.) I also had more points, which, back in Steve Jackson's Globbo game would have been deemed a Humiliating Total Victory.

Damn cool stuff. Lots of cards available, lots of combos, and several interesting theme decks have already emerged, including the animal deck, the Justice League deck, the all-girl deck, and the Powerpuff deck. My Cartoon Orbit username is Exographic Joe11, if you ever want to play.
