About This Game
War of Omens Card Game is a digital CCG/Deck-Builder hybrid card game featuring fast, strategic battles and four distinct, playable factions. It is a dynamic and very engaging deck building game that pulls almost all the things I love from the physical medium and brings it into the digital seamlessly.
War of Omens Card Game is a strategic card game set in a dark fantasy world, depicting the evolving political and military struggle between three distinct, warring factions. War of Omens combines elements from CCGs like Magic: the Gathering, Tyrant, or Pokémon and Deck-Builders like Dominion, Thunderstone, and Quarriors. We call this type of game a Collectible Deck-Builder.
Players will be able to collect cards and customize their decks, just like in CCGs, but as they sit down to play individual games of War of Omens Card Game they’ll be buying their cards from the bank each turn, as if they’re playing a deck-builder. Opponents in War of Omens will have their own, separate deck; there are no public cards. Players will be able to use their victories to earn new cards, expanding their options, unlocking new strategies, and building their collections over time.
War of Omens Card Game features four factions: the Daramek, the Vespitole, the Metris, and the Endazu. Each one of these factions is completely distinct: they look different, have different in-game mechanics, and have completely different, original storylines. Each faction also has four distinct heroes except for the Endazu who has one for now but other heroes will be released. These heroes differ not only in appearance, but in their special abilities that are utilized throughout gameplay. Even within a single faction, play styles and strategies vary wildly because of the differences between the three heroes. Some favor offense, while others favor defense. Each is designed to complement and enhance an aspect of their faction’s overall style and mechanics.
Because players can only choose one faction per battle, and because the factions play and feel so different from one another, favorite strategies and emergent gameplay are commonplace in War of Omens.
