Tell us your "Altered" story? How did you discover the game and why do you like it?

I discovered Altered through some friends of mine who run a YouTube channel. They played a few games and, of course, I had to try out the game myself. I was a little hesitant at first, but after setting up the demo decks and playing a few games with a buddy, I was sold on the foundations this game was built on.

This game appeals to me because for many reasons; It's competitive, it is less confrontational than your typical competitive card game, it has a set pace of advancing expeditions and maintaining a structured game pace, a flexible resource system, creative hero design, etc. I could probably go for a while praising the ground design of this game.

What have you done in the community?

Community member Aran and I started the Exalts team and league, an online place for all players to test and improve their skill within Altered. We have run a monthly league since the kickstarter finished.

What is your favourite card and faction? Why?

Ordis has been my favorite faction from the start. Tokens, draw, and bureaucrats all draw me to the Ordis. Within the faction, I think some of my favorite cards are Baba Yaga because I love anything that lets me draw cards, and Robin Hood because I love disrupting my opponent.

What are you looking forward to in the future of the game?

I am looking forward to opening cards and showing the game to my friends and family. I am hoping to grow a local community and be able to share the game's fun with them and my kids. I also can’t wait to get my hands on the physical cards and get them on the table!
