This sounds terribly expensive, but I'd rather pay for it than not. I'm glad those resources are available to you.

Have you ever covered up for a fellow officer's... shall we say misbehaviour?

Personally I'd tell the jerks "if you wanted to commit crimes, you shouldn't have volunteered to hang around cops all day".

Hopefully I'll catch you just before you go.

I'm not a fan of CCGs like Magic because those with more money to spend on the game have a definite advantage. It's not crippling for an adult with a reasonable amount of disposable income, but it makes the booster packs feel irrellevant and "collecting" feel blase. I like Fantasy Flight's "living card game" solution.

Alternatively, if I were designing a CCG I would consider throwing game balance to the wind, making the rarity of cards proportional to their power, and print a huge number of different cards all at once. I would not publish set lists. There may be only a few thousand or even a few hundred copies of some cards in circulation. Also there would be no sets, and I would not announce when new cards have been released. Every time you open a booster pack, you may discover something new that noone has ever seen before! I'm interested in your thoughts on this model.

So there really is a magnet between the flippers to make you lose.
