CARD ANATOMY

Anatomy of an AR card

The augmented reality marker and QR code work together to turn your trading card into a data unit that is able to store information that is unique to each card.

When traded - all information will be carried over to the new owner.

This system prevents any counterfeit cards from being produced - hence maintaining a strict lock on the total supply of cards.

I. VANILLA

  • Vanilla mode is how the ARTCG is designed to be played.
  • Decks must be comprised of minimum 3 cards.
  • Players shuffle their decks and draw the required number of cards for the battle.
  • Scan drawn cards into your in-game hand via their QR codes.

II. CLASSIC

  • Classic mode will allow you to both scan cards and choose any card from your deck.
  • Effectively allowing you to choose any cards you want.
  • This mode is for selectively leveling specific cards by winning souls from your friends.
  • Or for pitting your highest level cards against your friends.

III. QUICKPLAY

  • Quickplay will AUTO SELECT your hand randomly from your entire deck.

SINGLEPLAYER GAME PLAY MODES

The aim of singleplayer mode is to win SOULS for your cards through combat. Use your souls to level up your cards in their SOUL BUILDER.

If you card dies during combat it will lose all unused SOULS. However, it will not lose any levels. Therefore, spending SOULS to level up your card is comparable to saving a cards progress.

ARENA

Use the Arena to acquire souls for your cards. This mode is the easiest. Select your chosen fight configuration 1v1, 3v3 or 5v5 and your chosen difficulty. The higher the difficulty the more souls you win. Finally, choose your gamemode.

STORY MODE

Go on an epic adventure across SpaceTime. Learn about the secret inner workings of the universe, meet new friends, lay waste to your enemies, and climb the ranks of MegaCity-01.

HORDE MODE

Fight an endless horde of zombies. You only have one card per battle. Survive as long as you can.

ENDLESS MODE

For skilled players. You are allowed 5 cards against endless enemies. Your aim is to defeat as many opponents as possible. Your highscore is submitted to our global leaderboard to establish your dominance within the Genesis AR TCG community.

THE WILDS

The most difficult mode. You enter with your entire deck. Explore the terrain to find items and villages. If you die in the wilds you will lose everything you found. To exit you must return to the Home Landmark.
