I Have BEEF With Altered TCG 😤 

Honestly, I don't even think they *have* boosters to open yet. They have demo decks and promos and that's it.

There is a separate retailer page for Kickstarter boxes. It would be nice to see the numbers for that though.

Obviously I didn't expect to be given anything but it seemed like a not so professional response to me but oh well haha. Hopefully its a fun opening experience and they can fulfill their lofty goals to the backers!

I don't prescribe to the belief that every successfully backed TCG on Kickstarter is a "pump and dump" or "rug pull" or any of the other ways to describe that. I just know that people will treat it as such and will be buying in to flip right away when it releases for quick profit. I'm not sure what the longevity of this will be. I just hope its a fun opening experiences when the game comes out.

Metazoo was targetted at collectors primarily and didn't have a regualr release schedule. Altered has backing from Asmodee, has a known designed behind it and also has a tournament structure and regular releases in its future. Now some may try and pump and dump it, but the marketplace will be these and those cards will be recycled around the people who actually want to play it (as its a good game).

@@gavkenny There's also the factor of their business model being fairly unique with the whole digital marketplace aspect making the actual pasteboard cards essentially worthless beyond using them in the game. Once you pull a card in a pack you scan the QR code to add it to your collection on their app and then you can have them print as many copies as you want and ship it to you, then you can sell the digital ownership via their online marketplace, but only the owner of the digital card can have any copies in their deck for organized play purposes. It'll be interesting to see how all of that works once it's actually out and available, and I'm sure there will still be some speculating going on, especially with the unique cards, but the different business model *should* curb a lot of that.

it has the "for the modern audience" tint to it

Well it's pretty good if you want to try playing it with friends straight away. I enjoyed it ! Or buy it and wait 4 months to receive it when it release
