Algomancy: The Base Game (Limited Alpha Edition)

Engage in a strategic battle-of-wits to gain control of a simulated universe.


Algomancy redefines strategy card gaming by merging the thrill of deckbuilding, drafting, and trading card games (TCGs) into one complete package. Draft cards during gameplay to adapt to your opponent's strategy in real-time, or build your own constructed decks from the massive card pool - all included in one box.

Algomancy is an expandable cube-style drafting card game with CCG-like player interaction and a variety of game modes:

• The dynamic draft mode allows players to draft their hands from a communal deck during the game so they can adapt their strategy on the fly and works best for 2-5 players.


• Pre-draft or cube draft allows players to draft a constructed deck through a traditional drafting method before the game begins, and works best for 6-10 players. Players can either play a series of 1v1 games or larger group games in a free-for-all or team structure.


• Constructed is where players build decks of cards from the card pool to challenge other players who have done the same. This works for any number of players.


• Team constructed allows a team of players to create a group deck, which that team will draft from during the course of the game. This works best for 6 players (3v3).

INNOVATION:

• Turns are global, so there is no first player advantage


• The deterministic resource system ensures every game is competitive


• Region based interaction enables parallelized multi-player gameplay


• Everything included - no need to buy booster packs or chase expensive singles
