I play with the ring, watching the light dance on the polished metal’s surface as I roll it between my fingers.

Chlack, chlack! I grit my teeth. Every movement feels like a monumental effort, every breath a new wave of exhaustion. Chlack, chlack! Raising my machete and hacking at the vines, over and over, is pure torment. The vegetation is dense, rich, tangled, and unyielding.

Cling-cling-cling. I weave my way between slot machines that clink, jingle, and chime.

‘Continuity or deviation. These are now the choices facing the Asgarthans.’ Anuncia gazes toward the stage, narrowing her eyes to focus not just on the words her rival will use but on his posture, his diction, and the tone he employs. What strategy will he choose? Humility? Caution? Or arrogance?

In 2021-2022, I saw an announcement from Equinox about a new TCG in development, for which they were seeking testers.

With these first Rules and Rulings Updates, we’re introducing a monthly communication on all Rulings & Clarification added to the details page of the cards.

With this first article regarding the current Altered format, we’d like to address the gameplay experience we’ve seen on the rise since the first competitive tournaments with the use of Robin Hood, on its own, and when slotted in Waru decks.

Following the abandonment of Caer Oorun, now under the Kraken’s rule, the displaced population had to find a new land to rebuild everything.

Subhash exhales loudly and slams his mug down on the table, making the wood creak and the utensils clatter. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand before hailing the waitress to bring him another pint.

The truth. It was never singular, always plural. Only by comparing all the truths together could one come close to a semblance of certainty... But the closer it seemed to be within reach, the more it slipped away, like a mirage that can never be attained. Those who claimed otherwise were either fools or zealots.

Already ravaged by the Severance War, the third century ends in the bloody twilight of a new conflict, called the Three Factions War.

What began as mere political maneuvers turned into open warfare among the rivals.

Initially planned as a 128-player side event in Angers, France, the Altered Open welcomed 1024 players on Sunday, October 6th. Here is a detailed report of the event.

As she exhales, a plume of vapor escapes her mouth and drifts into the air, carried away by a biting wind. The sky holds the colors of a storm. Dark, rumbling clouds gather beyond the snow-covered peaks, as if furious to see them reclaim the fortress of Cebir.

It is coming. In a deluge of churning waves, the water of the bay dips and collapses, while a hissing swell rises around the edge of the funnel. In the center, a roaring vortex is forming, like a furious spiral, an open mouth into the abyss. The wind has changed, carrying a scent of ozone, as a thin drizzle begins to fall.

After a long break from collectible card games, during which I explored other passions, I started looking for a new game to get back into earlier this year. None of them convinced me until February 1st, when I discovered Altered during a stream by Les Joueurs du Dimanche with Maxildan, Rofellos, and Marie Grand-jeux.

It was a summer afternoon. Pollen drifted through the air, while in the fields, sickles and scythes fell on the wheat heads.
