Console Wars: A Card Game’s Innovative Approach

Dubbed as ‘Console Wars The Card Game’, this intriguing project aims to blend the spirit of friendly competition and the nostalgia of console wars into a fun-filled card game.

What’s in Store?

  • Objective: Players assume roles of various fictional console manufacturers, competing for dominance by collecting a variety of video game franchises, building fanbases, navigating the volatile industry landscape, and strategizing to outdo rivals. The ultimate winner is decided based on assembling four full-genre sets of games from horror, action-adventure, first-person shooters, and role-playing genres.

The Game Mechanics

  • A deck of 155 cards forms the core gameplay experience, with additional DLC content available for more strategic depth.
  • Unique card designs represent cleverly-named franchises like Mood, Unsurveyed, Hola, and Cattlefield, adding a distinct flavor to each player’s quest.

The Kickstarters Journey

  • With an initial funding goal of £20,000, the campaign has already raised over £18,000 as of writing. This demonstrates significant interest and support for Console Wars The Card Game.

What’s Next?

  • Fans can now visit the Kickstarter page to back the project and secure their copy, scheduled for a March 2025 shipment date.

    No, people don’t care anymore, that’s what makes it a fun concept for a fantasy game. You get to pretend like it’s relevant for entertainment.

    Like how people play Monopoly so they can live out the fantasy of buying property and owning a house.
