Limit Theory Forums

A Turn Based Tactics/TCG hybrid currently in development.
It works like a TCG, but with a hex-based playing field. You build the battlefield yourself by building tiles of land, different types of land are available which have synergy with different creatures etc.
Resources have to be partly gathered on the playing field too, so there's some point in the fight for land control.
What mainly caught my attention is the fact that despite it being a TCG there won't be any microtransactions for buying cards. You pay once for the game and have to earn cards in-game by playing the game.
Found out about it today, looking forward to the release

So they're developing a fancy electronic clone of a tabletop game or something...

Not sure about "clone", the idea seems pretty original
A board game version was a (not reached) stretch goal though

There are lots of TT games in that fashion. Even TCGs+tiles combos. It's a nice idea bringing those things together in a computer game, though

I must admit that my knowledge of board games is limited.

I floop the pig!

I don't know what that means but it sounds disturbing.

Something from an episode of Adventure Time (which I only know because I've played the android version of said game )

Still in development, but they've been writing some pretty neat articles about game design and testing under the name "Forging Faeria".

This week's was about player feedback.
Worth a read imo

It's out in Early access - the final game will be F2P so buying Early Access gives you a bunch of booster packs and stuff.
Want.

I'll play you when it comes out.

They're doing a giveaway contest thingy.
Since the game's not that well known yet, one might actually have a realistic chance to win something.

They launched an extra version for people who only want Early Access, without booster packs, for 8 dollars or so.
(Do note that this same version will be free when the game officially launches in a few months)

By now their draft format (called Pandora) has gone live, and next weekend (from the 16th till the 19th) they're gonna do a free weekend on Steam, and from the 16th till the 21st the game will be in discount.
(-30% = 6.3 dollar/5.6 euro for the early acces and -50% = 12.5 dollars/11.5 euro for the bundle)
So I think I'll pick it up then. 11.5 euro for access + a boosted start worth 25 euro is quite nice, methinks.
