Altered TCG is a groundbreaking trading card game that blends traditional card gameplay with innovative mechanics and digital integration. Created by Régis Bonnessée, known for his work on popular games like Dixit and Seasons, Altered TCG aims to redefine the trading card game experience by addressing some of the common issues faced by players.
Unique Features:
- 1. Digital Integration:
Each physical card includes a QR code that links to a companion app, allowing players to register ownership digitally. This system enables players to order additional copies of any card they own, minimizing the need to hunt through booster packs for duplicates. - 2. Non-Combat Gameplay:
Unlike many TCGs, Altered TCG focuses on adventure and strategy rather than combat. Players navigate the world of Asgartha using their decks to complete adventures, with victory determined by achieving certain objectives rather than defeating opponents in battle. - 3. Print on Demand:
Players can print any card they own digitally, including foil versions, providing a flexible and cost-effective way to expand their physical collection. - 4. Companion App:
The app enhances the gaming experience by allowing players to scan boosters, manage their collections, trade cards, and participate in events easily. This integration bridges the gap between physical and digital play, offering a modern take on TCG mechanics.
Game Structure:
Starter Decks and Boosters:
The game features six starter decks, each aligned with a unique faction and hero, offering various playstyles and strategies. Booster packs, which may contain special "foiler" cards for printing holographic variants, are also available.
