They passed $2M and still growing. I adore this game and hope game stores support it and I get a local community for this.

Coming from a low level competitive MtG player I played the game on BGA a ton and it felt much deeper on a competitive level than I expected. There is a lot of strategy to choosing what to play and when, holding information and bluffing, setting up your reserve correctly, and reading your opponent at the same time. As for unique cards, if I am not wrong about deck building, one copy of a card is allowed in your deck per copy you own, so you cant just print your busted unique and jam 3 of them. Even if that is not correct and you can have 3 copies of a unique, only one person is going to be able to play it which while not ideal, definitely feels better than everyone playing a playset of Siege Rhino. (...what I'd give for those days tho. I ♥ Siege Rhino.)

They’ve said they are going to look at a more art style QR solution but right now they want the cards to be scannable very quickly in mass and the art-style ones are not as performant as the basic QR box. Definitely agreed it’s jarring but after playing a bunch over the last few months your brain starts to ignore it. The full arts are soo cool though so it’s definitely meh to have that box on there. What they pick up having it seems worth it tho (ie quick importing, automated deck checks that allow your account to save your Op stats around cards played with and against, automatically lore and FAQ access by card, automatic language translation when playing against cards not in your language; to name a few)

It's mechanically on the same level as SWU, the only thing it lacks is an established IP (which is getting fleshed out in incredible detail and quality for a newly created world build). I do agree that it does a lot of things differently in terms of card rarity, scarcity and the balance between players, collectors and investors. It makes it hard to put real money into it, but I'd rather put my money into a game where I can get all the cards for a reasonable price and not have to shell out 100+ bucks just to own a Vader and get a competitive deck. They made a system where card rights maintain value, without raising the cost of entry to new players who showed up late, allowing for bigger communities, less elitism, etc.

But making 1-of cards that you have to basically QR scan to an account is just like asking for hackers to just profit off the scarcity of these cards to just profit. Since the owner can supposedly "trade/sell" those cards to people on their database. Then there is how secure the database, servers, physical location of the data storage is, etc to be concerned about and honestly I would not trust a group with a kickstarter to have the cybersecurity team on hand to handle it.

@@TheCheff93 Bro you're so misinformed. The system works the same way items and equipment in an RPG would. Is every online game with an inventory you've ever played an NFT without crypto??? You have an item code stored in a central server. Their website is maintained around the clock like any proper company, and if they go out of business then you're just back to the same starting line with other TCGs: the physical cards. Hijacking the secondary market is the only sensible thing you've said. Yes, they do have a monopoly there, but the commission is lower than TCGPlayer for example, and it eliminates any need for shipping. Cards get automatically translated so every card in the world is part of the purchase pool, and there's no chance of scamming, counterfeiting, lost packages etc. I'd take this any day over physical secondary markets.

Great opinions regarding the digital market system and QR codes stuff. There are two things I want to respond with. With my experiences with MTG that aren't as well attached to TCG biases, I wouldn't trust the secondary market with the trading as much as they devs from what I have seen. I don't want this game to get really dummy expensive due to the pumping of endogenous values into players through limited physical stock. I would rather just share the game with as many people as I want so that anyone can play the game. To help you understand the QR code, it is so distinct because it would be hard for a cheap phone to read while also storing lots of data in a small space. If the code were to be stylized to fit, the code would have to be bigger and have less data storage per cm. Even then the phones might have a harder time reading a card because of the styled code being so detailed for humans. They couldn't afford to make it hard to read because of it being a universal translator as well. Scanning the code will put up a card's oracle text in any language you want as well as bonus info like lore and such making computer readability a high priority. They might figure out how to add fonts but as it is, QR codes are the better pick.

@Chamos_games

Ай бұрын

If anything, the online marketplace should make it cheaper! There is no endogenous value different from a digital market place like TCGPlayer. Every card is auto translated, so every scanned card in existence can be traded, making the pricing very competitive. The physical scarcity is not only based on print size (which they are increasing just like SWU!), but also legal proxies printable on demand (max 1 euro per card, maybe less in bulk purchase). Lastly, the only scarce card rarity is Unique, which you only need 3 of per deck. Compared to SWU, this makes it way easier to put together a competitive deck without having to shell out dozens of euros/dollars per card. I plan on Printing proxies of my Uniques and sharing them with my community, so everyone can play with them casually. All this put together can make this the most affordable and easily shared TCG on a casual level that I've seen.

From what I've read on BGG and the KS page updates, you can print any single card "into the ground" but some caveats: If playing casual play, you don’t have to worry about anything besides deck construction parameters If playing in a tournament, you must own each card and by owning you must have a digital copy of each card. So having one digital copy (and thus one physical) of the Giant, but printing two more copies does not mean you own three copies, and therefore cannot use the two other printed Giant’s in a tournament. Should also go without stating, but if at one point you did own three digital & physical copies of Giant, but then sold the digital rights to the cards, but kept the physical versions, you no longer own the card and cannot use the physical cards in tournament play. Judges will be scanning decks and checking your library for ownership If you get a Unique card, you can print on demand 1 copy per year. An automatic timer will start when you print a copy blocking you from trying to print another copy until the year timer is up.

Mostly correct, with some small tweaks/updates: Uniques can also be printed indefinitely, only alt arts and promos have the internal timer to ensure scarcity and maintained value over time. Here, the PoD serves as a service for replacing damaged, lost or stolen cards, as well as printing physical copies of the cards you bought on the marketplace. "Printing into the ground" is a weird way to put it. With less than a euro per card, this makes it worthwhile to print foils, alt arts, some popular rares and Uniques. For the rest, the math leans to just buying packs, as you also get digital rights from them. I'll maybe print a hundred cards to fill out a playset, and then buy missing rights for cards I want to run competitively. If everybody is using PoD, then digital rights will increase in price due to scarcity, and people will go out to buy more packs. It's a wait and see where the equilibrium is gonna fall. It's such a novel mechanism that it is hard to predict, but the team is aware and conscious of potential pitfalls and hurdles that come with the territory.

Fair enough, but it sounds like you took a passing glance at best. I'd say that Altered is at least as exciting and difficult as SWU. It is even more mindgamey and chess-like due to the impermanence of the characters, with a more complex card system thanks to the Reserve and equal lanes. "The more or less numbers" is a gross oversimplification though, as you could apply this to most TCGs on the market, whether they are hit points, damage or base health. It's all math in the end.

I’ve backed this at the lowest level to get the KS rewards. The gameplay intrigues me as it departs from the traditional tcg. While I don’t like the idea of the print on demand aspect, the QR codes, or the fact that it removes the physical store from the equation; it is niche enough to have a play at home copy for “board game nights.” And since this is the first time I’ve stumbled on your channel, I’m going to see if you’ve already explored other KS TCGs that have piqued my interest (and if you haven’t maybe it’ll serve as possible material for future videos) - Paragon Monsters and Mayhem, X-Seekers of Fortune, Neverrift, Age of Eon, and Six Forms.

@@Bryan-le3jw Um, you started your phrase with "based on the fact that", which is not exactly formulated as an opinion. But yes I'm sorry, I came off strong due to the accusation. The secondary market for Altered will largely consist of the marketplace operated by Equinox, to trade card rights for scanned cards. In some cases, as I've explained in other comments here, they are then feasibly printed on demand. However, not all cards are worth PoD as they will likely charge above 50¢ per card, or need bulk orders to make it economically viable. People will still need to open boosters or trade physically, to get the card they're looking for. A store could even use PoD from within their community to create an entirely new form of secondary market: printing Uniques from local collections (with permission ofc) to sell as non-competitive, high-end cards for people to spice up their decks with. They would be discounted without the digital rights, but the majority of players would love to pick up more Uniques, from different card pools we've never seen before. Additionally, The alt arts and promos can only be printed once a year, so they will still maintain physical value after PoD, and can be sold in the traditional singles style. To be fair, I understand the concerns from LGSs. I had a similar conversation with my LGS owner about how the Kickstarter circumvented LGS distribution, and they're right. This was a dilemma for the team, as they wanted to both cooperate strongly and passionately with LGSs, but also reward the hatching community for supporting them through the years-long development. They used KS as a one-time event for this, and will only sell product through LGS/conventions in the future. They even formulated an OP roadmap for weekly casual tournaments at LGSs, with free prizes, both physical and digital, to encourage local, physical play. The PoD and marketplace does shake up the secondary market and will be novel and different. But that doesn't mean that they intend to alienate LGSs with this. They are services that are tailored for the unique state the game is in. I totally get why this could be a dealbreaker for your LGS, but saying things like "removing LGS from the equation" is misrepresenting the game in a hurtful way.

I also have the same issues with the game as you guys. I'm not ok with the idea of NFTs, and the game operating like that really bothers me. The QR codes make the front face much less attractive, but I can see it's utility.

I asked my flgs on our discord who has been watching the KS and if the shop would consider doing a retail pledge, but one person responded and they were meh on the game (central ownership, selling fees, and printing fees), and the store owner said the same thing ya'll did, since the product is sold on KS, how does he make money for his shop, so he was out. This game seems to want to do so many things differently (in house) and it does seem to be ailenating wide swaths of people from the start.

The KS was a one-time thing to reward the community for supporting them through development. I agree that the alpha set circumvented the LGSs (they could do a retail pledge at 25% discount, which I understand is not a great margin for an LGS to take on a novel TCG), and has somewhat saturated initial demand. However, the game is growing exponentially and will only be sold through LGS in the future. If by "selling fees", you mean the marketplace commission, it should be around 5%? At least at the lower end compared to other platforms like TCGPlayer, which comes with the added benefits that you don't have to ship anything, worry about delivery time, counterfeits or being scammed. For personal/private sales you could opt not to scan the cards and ship them physicallyThe PoD fees are max 1 euro per card for now, likely cheaper when purchased in bulk. This makes it feasible for foils, alt arts, rare or Unique cards and for replacing damaged/lost/stolen cards. They are planning at least 6 sets from what I've heard, and I'm confident it will surpass that.

The app functionality seems perfect for a digital play experience; I feel like some sort of hybrid digital/physical model is inevitably in their plans. That way, they don't care if game stores are hosting their game or not - enough people would be playing online and at larger events to keep the game alive. I could definitely see that working, but that's not what they're selling the game as right now. I'm guessing that's because a lot of TCG veterans wouldn't be happy with them cutting out local game stores, and they need those dedicated players to be invested in the early stages. Of course, that's just speculation.

The direct-to-consumer aspect is isolated in a one-time Kickstarter launch to reward the community that supported them through development (which could also be backed by retailers, with a 25% retail discount and 10% down payment). The first set will still be sold by LGS and any product (except maybe merch) will be sold by LGS and during events like GenCon (not this one but the next). The PoD does not replace boosters in any way and will only be economically viable for foils, alt arts and the highest rarity of cards. This would mean that people owning an expensive card (like an Altered's "Vader") can print cheap, factory quality proxies to give/trade with their community, so that everyone can get the full play experience on a casual level, while drastically lowering the cost of entry. For the digital play experience, they do cater to this. You can play Altered on BGA with your personal collection, so even if you live in a remote area, you can find opponents whenever you want. However, this absolutely does not mean they don't care if LGS host and carry Altered. They are very adamant about this and encourage local play with casual OP seasons (same as SWU) at supporting stores. , so there is no cutting out local game stores, at best a reduced dependency on the store in your area if you don't care about in-person play and local events, because you can buy card rights online and play online. However, I think the vast majority will share the sentiment that coming together to play in person is an unbeatable experience, which would conveniently be supporting your LGS too.

The demo decks don't do the game justice and are really only to get a feel for the game and theme. The main differences are the permanence of the Units/Characters, the lane specifics (Ground/Space vs equal) and the existence of the Reserve. The permanence in SWU makes the line more complex, as you can build high and gain extreme synergy. On the other hand, the card usage has to be monitored more closely in Altered as the card advantage hugely impacts your versatility throughout the game. The Reserve is what takes the cake for me, it has incredibly deep strategy application that is hard to understand in just a few games (and with demo decks). You can have decoys for sabotage, overt threats like a banish spell, self-discard abilities and combos that accrue value (i.e., putting a card in Reserve is a common mechanic to trade a card usage for something else, but fleeting keyword cards and permanents only have one use and are not accosted by this).

It's weird because the gameplay seems interesting and good, but the "was probably a blockchain scam but then they realized saying blockchain scares people away" vibe, the company controlled trade system, and the uniques all push me away.
