The Amerindian Expansion was the first collaborative effort by members of the SRCard mailing list to create an expansion to the Shadowrun Trading Card Game. Most of the cards were created between June and September 1998, with some subsequent playtesting and editing by various contributors.
It should be noted that, while this expansion is not 'official' in any sense, it has (somehow) become accepted as being both balanced and in the spirit of the official releases to SRTCG. Although I (personally) am glad to see more people playing the game, and especially the Amerindian Expansion, I'd suggest telling your opponent you're playing with AEX cards before the game begins, and letting him view the cards and decide for himself if they're fair or not.
And, of course, any feedback he (or you) offers is welcomed!
Enjoy!
