I think there is an issue with the article, which is that going by the most of the sources in the article and the hook source, the WP:COMMONTERM appears to be "living card game", and therefore that should be the title of the article and the boldlink. For related reasons I think ALT1 is actually the more interesting hook, though it would benefit from rephrasing to make it punchier. I'm keen to hear other opinions.

@Piotrus: Please respond to the above. Z1720 (talk) 14:51, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

@Cloventt and Z1720: This has been discussed a bit by card game editors, I also pinged them at Talk:Expandable_card_game#Not_much_on_this. It is not clear what is common term, and while LCG is a common term, as explained in the article, it is trademarked by one company, and could be considered not neutral - prioritizing that one company over others. I'd be happy to see this discussed on talk, but nobody seems to care, and I don't feel like deciding by myself to use a term specific to one company over what appears to be a perfectly fine and more neutral (not trademarked) term. As for the "punchier" wording, feel free to suggest an ALT1a and I can "adopt" it if it seems ok to me, so you could accept it... otherwise I am sorry, I don't know what your idea of "punchier" is. PS. Please WP:ECHO me when replying, if my response is needed. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 15:01, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: I already replied extensively, with a ping. Maybe a new reviewer is needed? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:05, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to fix this because as I said initially I think it is something of a fundamental issue with the article. Happy for another reviewer to weigh in on it. In terms of a punchier hook, something like "... that 'expandable card games' is a generic alternative for the trademarked term 'living card games'?"David Palmer//cloventt ^(talk) 20:57, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Cloventt: I'd be fine with that hook. Would you be ok with the article getting featured using it? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:59, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
  - I’d rather leave it to another reviewer to decide. David Palmer//cloventt ^(talk) 03:06, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
