What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Dark Table CCG is in Alpha and does not have all of the features wanted by full release. Early Access is a great way to get players in now, get their feedback for balance changes and features, and help raise funds for continued development and growth of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Planned to be in Early Access around 6 months while we add content, swap to dedicated servers, and build a better user experience.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The main difference will be dedicated servers, right now the game is Peer to Peer with one player hosting. That is not ideal, and one of the topics we are focusing on next.

We also want to add additional upgrades to UI/UX, VFX, and SFX by full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Fully Playable with Online 4 Player, In-Game Purchases, Loadouts, Some Stats and Achievements, Season Pass Functionality, and Full Deckbuilder.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No, Dark Table CCG will always be Free-to-Play once in Open Alpha.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are very active on our Discord and players can follow long there, ask questions, and provide feedback.”

About This Game

A NEW SPECIES OF DIGITAL CCG

Dark Table CCG is multiplayer card gaming re-imagined: Free-to-play, online 4-player, streamlined deck-building, and more customization that matters. We listened to everything card gamers desperately want, that AAA is not providing, and built it into an experience that will be unparalleled.

Set in a grim Lovecraftian theme, Dark Table brings a unique strategic experience with up to 4 players battling in a free-for-all, using temporary alliances and mutual interest to get ahead. Select your leader and build your deck around it to survive the onslaught and claim your world.

FEATURES:

-Online 4-Player-

In Dark Table CCG you play as Keymasters, interdimensional creatures with the power to contain space and time in their tomes. Up to 4 Keymasters gather at the Dark Table to play a game over the control or Worlds. This 4-player concept brings so much more fun and chaos to card games, allowing for very unique strategies, and giving casual players a better chance at winning.



The turn orders and phases, coupled with fresh game mechanics, allow for volatility in the outcome of the game. Often times, the tables can turn at the last second, and a player that was a favorite to win can be left in ruin.


-Leaders-

Solid Deckbuilding and Theorycrafting is key to any good card game, and Dark Table CCG offers layers of strategy and end-game Enrage Abilities to design your deck around. You start you deck with one of the many Leaders to choose from. Each Leader has different Enrage Abilities that quickly end a game when triggered.



The Leader not only dictates your end-game Abilities, but also your health as a player, so choose wisely. Leaders come in 3 types: Knowledge, Bloodshed, and Berserk. Each Leader type requires a different strategy to reach your Enrage Ability. Knowledge Leader bank unspent knowledge each turn. Bloodshed Leaders require kills in battle. And Berserk Leaders have to take damage and get to a threshold health to Enrage.

-Deckbuilding-

With a Leader selected you then build a Deck around it, choosing cards that accent the Leader's Enrage Abilities. We have a full deckbuilder with filtering, sorting, and searching by text.



Once you are happy with your deck, you can purchase with free currency, paid currency, or use a Deck Token to get the entire deck for a flat rate.

-Enrage Trigger-

Your goal in Dark Table CCG is to Enrage your Leader. By working to the Enrage Trigger of your Leader, you tic up your rage meter until you finally Enrage and gain your end-game Abilities. For instance, Reaper requires 18 kills in Battle to Enrage.



Once Enraged, you can use your Leader's Enrage Abilities each turn if applicable. Reaper becomes an assassin with the bonus of destroying any Leader it touches. With Reaper Enraged, the game is over quickly.



But be careful, the more powerful Leaders sometimes have less starting health and can be an early target to take out.

-Earning Cards and Items-

We have taken great care in Dark Table CCG to allow you to earn in-game currency, cards, and items in an easier and cheaper way that other card games. You get a decent amount of starting currency to experiment with and also earn more gold each game. There is also a free track on the Season Pass that you automatically level up from playing.



Besides the free Season Pass and playing games, we also have Quests and Achievements that grant currency, titles, playmats, cards, and more.



All of these features are meant to help you create decks for FREE if you want to. Our paid options are just to speed up the process or help our development. You can win for Free, and you can even win with the Starter Decks that every player gets.

-Customization-

Most card game players IRL like to have a certain level of customizability to their cards and board to show off to other players. They usually like to buy colored or themed sleeves for cards, unique dice, and playmats with artwork on them for their board. Other digital CCGs have failed in this area, and Dark Table CCG intends to deliver.



In Dark Table CCG you can customize almost everything. For your player presence you can change your Avatar and Title through achievements you earn. You can change the Card Back, Card Border, and Leader Border as you earn them in progression. You can also earn Playmats that come in the form of 3D terrains.
