[i]Info from: [url]http://hextcg.com/game/overview/[/url][/i]
HEX combines the amazing community and roleplaying aspects of a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMO) with the compelling collectible and strategic gameplay of a Trading Card Game (TCG) to create an entirely new category of a game, the MMO/TCG.

Create and customize your champion with talents, gear, and game altering abilities that revolutionize the Trading Card Game. Take up the side of good with either the heroic humans, noble coyotle, proud orcs, or the creative elves. If you have more sinister goals, then play as the destructive dwarves, zealous vennen, aggressive shin’hare, or cunning necrotic.

Encounter deep TCG puzzles and explore the world of Entrath. The PVE experience offers hundreds of hours of gameplay, storytelling, and the chance at rich rewards. You’ll find gear, gems, and over 300 unique cards at launch.

Advanced, cutting edge AI will challenge players of all skill levels while still being accessible. Cryptozoic hired the most experienced TCG AI expert in the world to build this system from the ground-up. In addition to the latest in TCG artificial intelligence, each opposing champion has a personality and approach to the game specific to that champion.

Recruit your friends and use the Guild Bank to register decks into “the gauntlet” that your guildmates can then practice against. Enter in guild-only tournaments and compete to be the number one guild in the world. Band together with your guildmates to defeat raid bosses and equip up your character with full legendary gear.

Cryptozoic is a leading TCG publisher with years of experience building a real, fully featured, and balanced TCG (World of Warcraft TCG). HEX has the same attention to detail and offers the finest digital TCG experience available. You’ll get a free Starter Deck (a $10 value) upon account creation. In addition to the 300 cards available via the PVE campaign, there are over 350 cards to use in Set 1 which you can win in tournaments or find in Booster Packs.

HEX can do things a paper TCG can only dream of doing. Socket gems in cards to give them additional powers, use card powers to transform them into different cards mid-match. The Double Back makes each card an individual collectible. Cards gain experience and have individual achievements that allow you to unlock extended art and foil versions. Deck statistics give you instant feedback about your deck’s composition, its record, and other statistics.

Are you wheeling and dealing? You can make trades in the chat client, or you can automate all your transactions in the Auction House. If you’re in need of that final card to complete your new deck or you’re looking to take some of that shiny gear and turn it to gold, this is the place for you.

HEX will feature tournaments and events around the clock available worldwide. With real cash prizes, HEX is poised to be the definitive professional online TCG.[/quote]

The champion represents you, the player, in the world of Entrath. Each champion has a charge power which will influence your deck, both in what shard you use and what kind of cards you put in your deck... [b](more info in link)[/b]

Throughout the story-based campaign, you will be called upon to hurl yourself into a number of bold adventures in the form of dungeons, raids, and side-quests.

The HEX team is filled with people that have been playing and working on TCGs for the better part of their lives. When it comes to stuff that ain’t broke, we don’t want to fix it. Veteran TCG players will find plenty of innovations that have never been seen before, but we also felt it was important that many rules will feel familiar... [b](more info in link)[/b]

[img]http://hextcg.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/KS_DOUBLE_BACK.png[/img]
Flip your HEX card over once and you have the back; flip that card again and you have the Double Back: a new innovation that takes advantage of HEX’s digital TCG design.
Each card in the game is a unique object and records how it’s been played. The Double Back stores your card’s history and gives you an easy way to interface with each card individually... [b](more info in link)[/b]

What RPG would be complete without items? In HEX, the equipment you acquire during your adventures will improve your character and customize your play experience. Victory in battle, looting treasure chests, and completing quests are just a few ways to acquire equipment in HEX. Equipment has four different rarities, similar to the cards you open in packs...

[img]http://hextcg.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/HEX_Gems.jpg[/img]
A Gem is not a card, but rather something that you socket onto special “socketing” cards.
Gem Socketing is something that you manage while building your deck, and it will change the way your cards play out during the game. Each gem offers a unique power, so Gem Socketing adds a completely different layer of fun, discovery, and creativity to the game.
By matching gems with different cards to create various effects, you can further customize your decks in ways that have never been done in any TCG before... [b](more info in link)[/b]
[b][url=http://hextcg.com/game/tournaments/]Tournaments:[/url][/b]
When HEX launches, we will offer 4 different queues for players to jump in and play any time 8 people are interested. This is the most flexible way to play: any time you have 3 hours, you can start and finish a tournament. The queues are: Constructed, Competitive Draft, Casual Draft, and Swiss Play Draft...

A HEX card has some or all of the components shown below. We asked Zoltog the orc ranger to pose for this demonstration, and he has graciously agreed... [b](more info in link)[/b]
