Boosters & Theme Decks
What I didn't have time or space to write below was that there are booster packs and theme decks available.
These "work" in pretty much the same way as regular CCGs (in fact, in theory you CAN play with the cards without the PS3 but the PS3 makes for a much fairer rules arbitrator!).
"Boosters" are a pack of eight random cards, consisting of the usual "collectable" mix of Common, Uncommon, and Rare cards.
For those who've never bothered understanding collectible-lingo, I'll try to use RTS (CnC) terms to give you an idea how the work.
Commons equate to your Rifleman or Grenadier units, cheap in terms of points cost and plentiful.
Uncommons kind of equate to your next-level units, say a basic tank, more expensive to use, less plentiful than commons.
Rares are like the Special Forces dudes, they cost a bit to produce, you can't have too many, and they do a ship-load of damage.
The games rules govern how many of each you have in a 30-card deck and the production runs of each type are set to ensure that as the 'power' increases, the availability decreases.
