[quote:c8a6c87059="rjoh"]Never played the mystery game, prob never will (this game is still a mystery to me - lol)
Just curious - I'm sure htere are quite a number of players that played in the late 80's and early 90s - seems unfair to not have them be fully mysteried. - Why not marry the decades?[/quote:c8a6c87059]
In a 200X league, basically you draft a team, mold it during the preseason, and then sit back and see how it plays out. Sure, there is some tweaking but once opening day arrives, the bulk of your ability to shape your team's future is over.
Not so in the mystery card game. Once opening day arrives, things are just getting warmed up as you desperately try to figure out which card each of your players has and who to keep and who to cut.
Also, in the 70s game, some players to cross over into the 60s or 80s for some of their seasons.
