Has anyone here been playing, collecting, or investing in Sorcery? I’ve been doing all three. Have any of you even heard of it? The game just came out recently via Kickstarter and I was honestly a little late to the party. I only started playing about two months back when I ran into product at a local game store. I picked up the 4 deck starter bundle just to check it out, after getting home and looking through the cards I was immediately hooked. I’ve now opened dozens of boxes between Alpha and Beta and am sitting on just as much sealed product. The artwork on the cards is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been a lifelong Magic fan, but absolutely hate the direction the company has been taking, especially when it comes to the art. All the magic art is just digital anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike digital art, BUT it just doesn’t elicit the fantasy feeling for me the same way hand done art does. And that’s a big selling point of Sorcery, the fact that all the art is hand done and looks the way it does. I’ll spam the bottom of this post with some of my favorite examples. This is a website where all of the card art is listed. Take a scroll through. https://curiosa.io/cards The gameplay is honestly really fun and interesting too. I’ve dabbled with A LOT of card games throughout my life between MTG, Pokemon, Yugioh, Hearthstone, Lorcana and more, and I have never come across a game that plays anything like Sorcery does. The whole game is set up on a 4x5 grid. You plan lands onto the grid for mana similar to MTG. Have an avatar which is an actual card on the grid which you’re able to move around. You use your mana to play spells, artifacts, or summon creature onto the grid on locations which you have played. You use your creatures and spells to try and attack the other players avatar or to try and defend yourself from your opponents attacks. There are ranged units, air units, units that can burrow underground, and units that can submerge underwater. The card types are based off the four elements, water, fire, earth, and air. You can run all 4 elements if you have the mana base to support it, but usually you want to stick to one or two elements mainly. I could go on and on about the rules, but you get the idea. I’m obsessed with water and the ocean so I have been playing a water combo deck based around Riptide and Giant Shark. The shark moves to and attacks anything for free that moves inside its body of water. So basically I just try to defend myself with pirate ships and water elements ans by drowning enemy creatures that come into my water. Then when it’s time to win I flood a site close tk my opponents avatar and use riptide to pull their avatar into the water to get eaten up by my shark ideally killing then in one turn. It’s a lot of fun and catches a lot of people off guard who get lulled into a false sense of safety. The game is a lot of fun to play and the cards are absolutely beautiful and super fun to collect even if you dont plan on playing it. There are a some crazy pulls too, I’ve opened a $1000 card out of a $5 booster.ot quite as confident in the long term investability of the game as some people, but that hasn’t stopped me from sitting on sealed product and opening a grotesque amount of cards. The game is super fun and new and not as many people know about it as they should. If you have a chance, you should check it out. I hope the game keeps growing and sticks around for years to come. Have you played the game? What do you think? As promised, here is an art dump of some of my favorite card arts. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
