    There are a few games like this that are non-collectible (in other words, no random packs of cards). It’s pretty rare, though, and most of them are out of print. I recommend Arkham Horror: The Card Game and Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, especially since you like RPGs. They’re very similar to RPGs, but they’re played with cards, and you’re playing against an encounter deck instead of a game master.

      I understand what you’re saying, but Illuminati didn’t have a GM or a plot. The gameplay works fine as a TCG because of the way it’s structured. And from what I’ve seen of MTG, the way it’s structured is fine too. Honestly, card gameplay is fine with me, as are both competitive and co-op games. It’s literally just the “you have to keep buying” thing. It’s the same reason I hate things like in-game purchases. I like even playing fields.
