What Is

A new strategic trading card game in development focused on YOU the player!

Check out our core pillars and commitments!

We want to make a game for the community and with the community. Follow our socials to see how you can learn to play and help develop a new tcg!

Player First

The player experience comes before profit or collectability. Everyone should be able to play any card they want reasonably. All community feedback is taken and considered. Encourage growth through local communities and game stores.

Skill over Randomness

All gameplay focuses on putting skill and strategy over randomness. Our unique resource system and combat are key points in providing these principles. All future designs should focus on utilizing these principles to offer additional strategies and eliminate randomness as possible.

Causal and Competitive Scene

Foster a healthy causal and competitive scene that allows players to play at a competitive level without sacrificing the simplicity of card design and game rules so that any player can still pick up the game and understand it reasonably.

Immersive Lore and Culture

Create all cards around a story/world with lore and cultural ideas so players can connect to the characters we design. All art and stories are original. No AI will be officially used in artwork and story development.

Strength and Weakness

All designs follow the principle of strength and weakness. Every card should be designed with these in mind. Have consistent motives and strategies for each card type that follow defined strengths and weaknesses.
