Altered: Beyond the Gates - Starter Deck Display
Description
STARTER DECKS
Each starter deck embodies a particular play style and has its own strengths, weaknesses, and strategies. Choose the deck(s) that best suit(s) your preferences, and set off on an adventure with your Hero and Companion.
A starter deck contains everything you need to start playing, and it has been balanced to give you the best possible experience against one of the other five current starter decks. Please note that only the starter decks contain the base materials required to play the game.
THE FACTIONS
To rediscover the world, humanity relies on the support of six powerful organizations known as Factions. Factions are influential groups, each with its own hierarchy, areas of expertise, and unique philosophy. They bring together individuals who share the same convictions and ideals. While they collaborate towards a common goal, their views on what needs to be accomplished vary greatly, creating competition among them. However, despite their disagreements, all of them understand that the Rediscovery Effort cannot be successfully achieved without the full investment of each Faction.
DIVE INTO THE WORLD OF ALTERED
Centuries ago, our reality collided with the world of stories and dreams in a cataclysm known as the Confluence, an event that profoundly reshaped the Earth as we know it. Beings from this world suddenly roamed amongst us, and changed the way we lived. Since then, we’ve formed alliances with them, and together we patiently rebuilt a new civilization.
With peace and prosperity now secured, it’s finally time for us to rediscover the altered world around us. Six leading Factions have chosen their heroes to lead courageous expeditions beyond the gates, where the Tumult, a remnant of the Confluence of old, still mutates everything in its wake.
Aspiring to address the pitfalls that the trading card game market has faced over the last 30 years, we have crafted this ambitious project to rekindle the magic within the genre. What defines us? A core of optimism, kindness, sharing, and a profound longing for modernity. Crafted by a team of thirty enthusiasts based in Paris and led by the visionary Régis Bonnessée (known for Dixit, Mysterium, Diceforge, and Seasons), we are thrilled to finally unveil the culmination of the positive energy that has fueled our efforts for the past three years. Welcome to the adventure!
