The click-base games have the same fundamental flaw (where I'm concerned)
that CCG's have...  they're collectable, thus making them far more
expensive than a reasonable game ever would be.  They sell a lot more
low-level game pieces than the market really wants to buy, except that
they buy them in order to get access to the pieces they really want.

It's a bizarre economy, but apparently it works for the publishers, even
if it's at a disservice to the consumer and the entire industry.
