Altered TCG, a new trading card game from Equinox, has raised over $1.15 million in crowdfunding through its Kickstarter campaign. The game’s unique feature is the ability for players to freely and legally print cards they own, eliminating the need to purchase multiple booster packs in hopes of obtaining rare cards. Players can also buy and sell card rights through an official app marketplace, with Equinox being the only authorized location for such transactions. The game’s gameplay model focuses on uniting a deck’s chosen hero and companion through the playing and crossing of various biomes, with a less violent approach than most TCGs. The card designs incorporate fictional characters, real-world figures, and original designs, with an intentional focus on showcasing diversity and non-violent interactions. Altered TCG’s Kickstarter campaign has been successful, and backers will start receiving their starter decks and booster packs in July, with retailers able to sell the products ahead of the official launch on the publisher’s website. The game’s unlimited printing model aims to provide players with a more positive experience and has garnered significant interest from potential players. Time will tell if this model will lead to a successful and engaged player base.
