064 Last Days for The Massive-Verse Fighting Card Game!

Less than 48 hours to go!

Hey there, folks! Bit of a change of pace this week - it’s your friendly neighbourhood editor Michael Busuttil here! Kyle’s at a convention this weekend, so you get me instead!

So, here’s a funny story. At San Diego Comic-Con a couple of years ago, Kyle, Mat Groom and I went out for breakfast before heading to the show, and started chatting about an idea we’d all been thinking about - some sort of Massive-Verse game. We all love board games and card games, so we had some pretty specific requirements. It couldn’t just be a generic game with our characters slapped on top, like Massive-Verse Monopoly. It’d have to be something that really understood our world, with opportunities to showcase the stories that we’re building and the incredible artists we get to build them with.

Later that day, someone came up to us after a panel. A rep from a board game company, asking if we’d meet his boss to talk about maybe working together on something. We took the meeting. We played the game. Kyle beat me. (To Kyle, this is the most important part of the story.) Which brings us: to this.

The Massive-Verse Fighting Card Game! Developed by the incredible team at Solis Game Studios and powered by their Pocket Paragons system, The Massive-Verse Fighting Card Game is a fast-paced 1v1 fighting card game starring some of your favourite characters. Each character is specifically designed to reflect their personality and abilities from the books, and it’s super easy to learn but surprisingly tricky to master. And it’s on Kickstarter RIGHT NOW - but the campaign ends in LESS THAN 48 HOURS.

The main box (which you can get for just $19 plus shipping) includes fully playable decks for Radiant Black, Rogue Sun, The Dead Lucky, Inferno Girl Red, <001>, Cataclysm, Pyre, and The Griffin. Every card has unique artwork pulled directly from the Massive-Verse, and the character cards feature box art by the incredible Dan Mora! This is a fully self-contained game - everything you need to play comes in the box - and games take just 10 minutes to play.

AND! If you want even more Massive-Verse goodness, you can also pick up the Team-Up Expansion! On top of fully playable decks for Radiant Red, Radiant Pink, and Radiant Yellow, this includes two new decks of team-up cards that let you expand your game to 2v2 - and it’s fully compatible and interchangeable with the base game! PLUS, as I write this we’re just a handful of backers away from our next stretch goal, which will add SHIFT to this box! That’s four new characters!

PLUS: exclusive to the Kickstarter, if you back before the end of the campaign you’ll get a copy of THE 5YNDICATE promo pack - a fully playable deck for Shift, Accel, Doppler, Sheer, and Mecha as one shared character! This set won’t be available after the Kickstarter, so you’ll want to make sure you get in in the next two days!

OK, I think that’s everything you need to know. Did I mention the campaign closes in a couple of days? The game and the team-up expansion will be available after the campaign, but the 5yndicate deck won’t be, and you won’t be helping us get towards some of our stretch goals - so head on over to the Kickstarter page and check it out! We’re really proud of how this project’s come together, and we’re hoping we can close this campaign out strong and maybe start talking about making something else next.
