    Do you mean like a physically opaque package or one where the exact contents are obscured by randomization? There are some card games that have no randomization whatsoever in their packaging, like Fantasy Flights LCGs.

      Yeah in the boardgame community everyone know tcgs are predatory, at least there are usually communities for alternative formats.

      Well I do mean physically opaque but true that implies, as few persons did comment regarding e.g. Poker, that the content itself or the rules do not change the distribution to introduce artificial scarcity.

      The point is that purchasing a package in itself should not be a bet.
