''Culdcept'' is a series of games developed by OmiyaSoft. The gameplay is an odd mix of [[Monopoly]] [[X Meets Y|and]] a CCG. The players roll dice and move around a game board, needing to pass through one or more forts before returning to the castle, which acts similar to Go! from Monopoly. However, instead of simply buying property you place monsters from your hand on the spaces and opposing players can choose to fight them to try and get out of tolls. The more you upgrade a property, the higher the toll and the better protected the monster on it. Also included are a huge number of spells and item cards that can affect gameplay in many ways.
 
The original game, ''Culdcept'', was developed for the [[Sega Saturn]] and later released on the [[Play Station]]. [[No Export for You|The original never left Japan]] ''Culdcept Second'' was released for the [[Dreamcast]] and later the [[PSPlay Station 2]], the [[PSPlay Station 2]] version released in other countries as just ''Culdcept''. The latest entry in the series was ''Culdcept Saga'', strangely released only for the Xbox360 in 2008. Finally, there is a ''Culdcept DS'' [[No Export for You|but...]]
 
The basic story is that Culdra, [[Memetic Mutation|absolute Goddess]], created Culdcept, the Book of Creation and Destruction. She then scatters pieces of the book, the cards, across the world and people who can control them become Cepters. If a Cepter passes certain trials, they become the god of a new world that they create. Each game also includes a story, usually involving beating someone evil to the godhood thing, and always peppered with [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|oddball minions]] and [[Wacky Wayside Tribe|elementally themed tribes]].
Line 14:
* [[Attack Reflector]]: The Counter Amulet is an item that does this. Decoy is a creature that has the same effect naturally.
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Most of the really big "direct damage all X" spells are ridiculously situational. Mildly "damage all X element monsters" are highly useful as long as your opponent is playing at least some of that element.
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: In the English [[PSPlay Station 2]] version. Many cards have inaccurate or just plain indecipherable descriptions.
* [[Chainmail Bikini]]: While many cards are fanservicy, the series avoided this until Sword Princess in Saga, who's outfit is more platemail lingerie.
* [[Combining Mecha]]: The Air and Ground Gears combine if used together.
Line 37:
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Cards whose strength is based on something you can control, like Leoknight and the elemental avatars, can get stats so high that they go right off the meter in battle.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Several creatures. Baldanders turns into a random monster at the start of battle, Shapeshifter can become something else on the field, and Mystery Egg changes based on the weapon given too it. There's also Mesozoic Song, which causes all creatures you control to ''[[Crazy Awesome|become Tyrannosaurus Rex during battle]]''.
* [[X Meets Y]]: Basically ''[[Magic: theThe Gathering]]'' Meets ''[[Monopoly]]''.
