This Anticipated TCG Is Only Available to Players in the Philippines

Avid Games went big with its first foray into the world of trading card games with the notably ambitious Cards, the Universe and Everything.

Sticking with the same genre, the studio has turned its focus to the dark side with Eerie Worlds, which is both a game and an exhaustive compendium of the world’s most terrifying myths and legends.

Sounds fun!

If you’re fortunate enough to live in the Philippines, you can spend the next few months familiarizing yourself with the soft-launch version of Eerie Worlds. Here’s what to expect.

We’ll start with the setup. It seems the cosmic fabric separating our plane of reality from other worlds is breaking down, causing a long-prophesied convergence of realms.

Nightmarish specters are entering our world through rifts, and it’s your job to take control of these rifts and harness the power of all those monsters, ghouls, and ghosts to defeat the invaders and restore equilibrium.

Aiding you in this quest is an ancient grimoire, and that’s where the cards come in. Each card in Eerie Worlds represents a mythical terror, and together they comprise your own personal grimoire.

In amongst these frightful apparitions you’ll find a headless spectral rider from Irish folklore called a Dullahan, a mythological East African creature called a Nandi bear, and the Mongolian death worm, which is precisely as horrifying as it sounds.

There are 64 cards in the launch version of Eerie Worlds (248 if you count upgrades), with each of the eight starter sets including six Common cards, four Rare cards, three Epic cards, two Fabled cards, and a World card.

These are organized into four albums, called Alliances, and you can tailor your attacks around these Alliances to unleash synergy effects, giving Eerie Worlds’s fast-paced, accessible gameplay plenty of tactical depth.

For the time being, only those lucky Filipinos can see how Eerie Worlds actually plays. The rest of us will get our turn in mid-September when the game gets its worldwide launch. Here it is on Google Play.
