0:00 hi my name is Joshua David Stein today I'm gonna talk to you about a new toy from Korea South Korea I presume called mcard it spelled M ECA Rd so it also might be knackered or Makka they're sort of like Korean Transformers they are Korean Transformers and they're pretty cool there's a game associated with it and a television show so like yugioh or Pokemon or all that other good that takes up your kid's life this too will colonize their freetime
0:30 and take from your wallet hard-earned cash but let's take a look at what it is box works this is Evan in his transformed State Evan is also a car and the car looks like this this is what's the best thing about mech cards watch this it jumps up
1:04 and grabs a card in its mouth or one of its orifices this this card has numbers on it and I assume is part of this game which my kids will never play because it's way too complicated and it hardly matters as well because that action is just really cool let's watch it again it's cool jumps up so as I mentioned there's a game that's associated with my card so like all of these games Pokemon yugioh Pokemon XYZ what else Magic the
1:37 Gathering my kids are into you but they don't know how to play any of them but they understand that underlying the game there's a battle and same thing with the card ok my card is played in rounds for each round each player chooses one makar demo oh they're called McArdle's which is a mix of mechanical card and animal this is Donna she's in her mid 40s she lives alone she's on tinder each player will need 3 cards each of a different
2:06 how to play mccard is played in rounds for each roller micarta most towards the card and both McCarter moles open and matched the micarta moles fact side of the card it picked up when the character shown on this card in that card I just don't understand so Makar Domo with the highest point is a winner and gets a card the first player to win three cards wins the game so after the card springs up you after
2:33 it becomes Evan so to speak it really discovers himself you have to put it back together which in Evans case is pretty easy I'm 36 and it's taking me a while my kids are that's how long it took can I see that other one I don't know what this one's called Mir and I this is Mira and I translucent skin beautiful maybe
3:04 Oh Mira and I becomes a unicorn and it is let's mirin eyes my favorite it's beautiful and ethereal and divine anyway now you have to get it out mirin is quite difficult to little ah yeah a
3:34 little hard to get in I have to say Mira and I so I'm surrounded by my boys Prince Kong venema Shuma isn't Senator from New York State Chuck Schumer tana toasts alta all to the bird wing talk which seems like a stinger of some sort Kong she is a building made of fire and
4:11 Phoenix which is a Phoenix so I think the question is what are they worth it so I've thought long and hard about my card I have a couple of thoughts first of all it's undoubtedly an act of engineering genius however I do think the idea that there are two things for the mccard to work and my children lose approximately half of everything they own is problematic because I can see them keeping this and losing the card losing all cards and
4:40 then basically you just have this car which won't transform which is probably the most frustrating thing in the world as it pertains to the underlying game which i think is rather immaterial because I don't know how it works and I'm still super jazzed about these because of this and also because of this look it might take over your life or it might just be a really cool transforming toy they will lose the cards you need to
5:10 get extra cards I wish the names were better boxes work great though they really contain the toy and you open them you you
