Altered TCG is an innovative trading card game with a modern, rich and colourful universe. Shape your own adventure, choose your faction and lead your expeditions through an ever-changing world. TCG stands for Trading Card Game. A well-known game format that implies a lot and that you probably have even heard of (like a gathering, or some small creatures that fit in your pockets). Using the same base mechanics for years, the genre needed refreshing. And that is where the Equinox team came up with a lot of original ideas.

Altered is a two-player game in which each player builds a deck led by a hero or heroine card.

In the game, you lead two Expeditions to explore the lands surrounding your home peninsula of Asgartha. One of your Expeditions is led by your Hero, and the other by his or her Companion. Your Expeditions move towards each other as the game progresses, and your aim is to bring them together before your opponent does.

As one of your faction's Heroes, you embody its philosophy and ideals. Each faction is played differently and uses certain mechanics rather than others in order to advance.

There are six factions and your deck can only contain cards from the same faction.

And that is pretty much all you need to know before diving in to the included tutorial. Altered is a deep game, and by this we do not mean complex or difficult, but captivating.
There are a lot of different powers to choose from, effects to handle, and it is all detailed in the game itself: we cover everything by giving tooltips on pretty much anything you would need to enjoy the game.

So what is the next step?
If you are discovering Altered, you can play a tutorial or start a normal game. Once the table starts, you will have the pleasure to discover the factions and choose an already-made deck to play it instantly.
When you have played it, you can try other factions to discover the one you prefer (My personal favorite is Lyra).
