Just got done reading your tutorial on your blog, as someone researching and learning to play lots of new games I find it annoying when there are only the RUclips video, because I just need a quick reference. The combination of a readable and a video tutorial is really nice!
The QR codes are used to scan each individual card into your database of digital ownership! Every single QR code is unique, and once you have scanned it, nobody else can scan it. Once you own a card digitally, you are able to sell and trade the card via the online marketplace as well as access "print on demand" for that card, allowing you to print new official copies of that card.
So far, it seems all the factions will be viable competitively! There are so many options for each faction that leads us to believe all the factions will be able to hold their own in a competition setting!
Currently there are just three adventure cards with the demo decks provided during the roadshow. We don't have much information on future plans for the adventure cards quite yet, but stay tuned!
The same as the Hero! You have a Hero expedition and a Companion expedition, represented as separate sections on either side of your Hero card. For example if you only played cards in your Companion expedition, only your Companion would be able to advance.
I like the bright and colorful artwork and the way the game plays feels different. But I've heard there may not be that much of a competitive scene for the game. Is there a competitive aspect and support for the game at launch or is it meant to be more casual?
The great thing about Altered is that it can be both! It lends really well to casual play, but even with the demo decks we are using here at the store, there is a level of complexity that brings out some pretty strong competition! We feel that with full deckbuilding available, the competitive side of Altered will only get stronger and more robust.
So my question is how much should I order? My real question is are there demo days planned where I or my wife and I can try out the game before committing heavily?
And to answer the first question, if you get any product, get the Kickstarter available boxes or cases. The EV because of the stretch goals is insane and the specialty promotional cards are just 🤌
Limited rarity slots make it really hard, so we totally get it! The biggest recommendation we can offer is to analyze what your goal with your deck build is and try to align the rares and uniques with that goal. If you are focusing on "Anchored" for example, it may be more beneficial to cut one of your rares and replace it with a rare/unique that uses "Anchored" effectively (Sneezer Shroom for example)

So, genuine question, is this mostly a re-skinned Call of Cthulhu? Looks like it will have random boosters again and not be modeled as an 'living card game'?
Great video! Really quick and helpful! Of course this is a brand new game, so we can't really know for surewhat to expect, but what are some kinds of ways you'd be interested in seeing these basic rules being BROKEN? For example, I really like how a spoiled card changes how only the water stat matters!
Personally, as the one writing this reply, I am a Muna fan! At the store, we have a wide variety of favorite factions already! It's fun to see how each faction speaks to different people.
Its interesting to me how many new games incorporate a "fixed" mana system to avoid screw and flood, where all of your cards are essentially MDFCs. Personally I like the tension of mana/screw and flood, but apparently designers see this as the optimal design framework. Is Altered amenable to Limited gameplay? Is it draftable or capable of being played in a Sealed style format?

Thanks for the quick tutorial; I knew within the first minute the game wasn't for me (or my group) so no need to buy starters. Saved me $30+!
I really need to sit down for a demo for this game.
I like how you can win in just one category to advance your expeition markers
We have plenty of demo decks available at the store for use! Come out and get a game in soon!
Can't wait for my KS! What do you plan to celebrate release?
Thanks for the opportunity!
Awesome quick explanation! Fantastic intro video💪🔥
Awesome video, looking forward to the new game!
Hey! I'm looking forward to seeing more and more content about Altered on your channel 🙂
great video!
i do have to ask what the QR codes on the cards are for? is it just a way to keep track of what cards you have?
The QR codes are used to scan each individual card into your database of digital ownership! Every single QR code is unique, and once you have scanned it, nobody else can scan it.
Once you own a card digitally, you are able to sell and trade the card via the online marketplace as well as access "print on demand" for that card, allowing you to print new official copies of that card.
Hello, thank you for the video !
Do you think all the factions would be played in competition?
So far, it seems all the factions will be viable competitively! There are so many options for each faction that leads us to believe all the factions will be able to hold their own in a competition setting!
Are the three adventure cards always the same each game, or are their multiple types that a player will select when building their deck?
Currently there are just three adventure cards with the demo decks provided during the roadshow. We don't have much information on future plans for the adventure cards quite yet, but stay tuned!
How many sets per year are planned for altered?
One large set and two small sets a year 😊
One large set and two smaller sets per year. 😊
Can't wait for the release....Will this be available at gencon?
They will be hosting play at Gen Con! Both demos and sealed/limited formats!
So I understand how the hero advances. How does the companion advance?
The same as the Hero! You have a Hero expedition and a Companion expedition, represented as separate sections on either side of your Hero card. For example if you only played cards in your Companion expedition, only your Companion would be able to advance.
How many cards are in this first set?
18 heroes, 162 commons, 324 rares, countless unique variations of the 109 characters

Very clear explanation of the rules! 👍 Great motion design!
Great video, really dig the visuals and the short form video in comparison to other tutorials.
My question do I get your first Moonlight Jellyfish? 💞

Any tips for deckbuilding? How do you know that a rare is worth its slot?
Limited rarity slots make it really hard, so we totally get it!

Art style looks cool as heck! Do they have alt arts to collect?
They do! The Kickstarter edition boxes contain alternate arts of many of the available cards!

Great thank you!!! You're the best!
Love the artwork on this game
Love the game! How often are expansions coming?
While we don’t know the release schedule yet, we do know that one large set and two smaller sets approximately every four months: 3 sets a year 😁
We do know the schedule: september, january, may...
@@ericlazure wonderful, thanks for the clarification and additional information 😁
Woo hoo! Can't wait to see these decks in person. I wonder which faction will be the strongest?
Too soon to tell what the meta will be, but each faction has so much variety and potential to do great!
So, genuine question, is this mostly a re-skinned Call of Cthulhu? Looks like it will have random boosters again and not be modeled as an 'living card game'?

Follow! Like! And now the question! Which faction do you prefer?
Personally, as the one writing this reply, I am a Muna fan!
At the store, we have a wide variety of favorite factions already! It's fun to see how each faction speaks to different people.
What happens in the morning phase?
In the morning phase, you'll ready all of your exhausted cards, draw two cards, and convert up to one card from your hand into a mana orb!
You make breakfast
Why does everyone seem so obsessed with the Moonlight Jellyfish card???
Because it is adorable!
Its interesting to me how many new games incorporate a "fixed" mana system to avoid screw and flood, where all of your cards are essentially MDFCs. Personally I like the tension of mana/screw and flood, but apparently designers see this as the optimal design framework.
Is Altered amenable to Limited gameplay? Is it draftable or capable of being played in a Sealed style format?
It is! They are actually hosting limited format events at Gen Con for Altered!
