The TCG You Can Play From One Pack

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/... Support us on Patreon:   / eternaldurdles   What if the next great trading card game didn't require a starter deck? This week, Brian David-Marshall joins Eternal Durdles to discuss Cataclysm Arcade, a brand-new trading card game inspired by '80s arcade culture, video rental stores, indie comics, and post-apocalyptic action films. Built around a revolutionary "one booster pack = one playable deck" philosophy, Cataclysm Arcade aims to remove barriers to entry while embracing everything that made tabletop gaming communities special in the first place. We discuss: The origins of Cataclysm Arcade Brian's early comic book career and X-Mutants Why the world ends in 1986 Video stores, arcades, and comic shop nostalgia Why one booster pack is enough to play Rethinking how trading card games onboard new players The game's comic-inspired art direction Dynamic storytelling through organized play The four factions of Cataclysm Arcade How combat, bosses, fighters, tactics, and weapons work Why Brian isn't interested in licensed IP crossovers The future of Cataclysm Arcade beyond New York City If you've been looking for a fresh TCG with original worldbuilding, incredible comic art, and an innovative approach to gameplay, Cataclysm Arcade is one to keep an eye on.
