Press Release - Golden Serpent TCG To Launch On Kickstarter 1/21/2020

Golden Serpent TCG to Launch on Kickstarter 1/21/2020

A new, living card game with a dark fantasy occult theme

Golden Serpent is a new battle card game that will have players using characters, relics, and spells to attack their opponent's leaders to win the game. Players familiar with Magic: the Gathering and Hearthstone will be able to pick the game up quickly and also be excited by new takes on the genre. The game offers a depth of strategy while not getting overly complicated. Much of the gameplay can be understood after grasping the core cool down mechanic, but with a wealth of card interactions there's ample fun to be had by the seasoned strategist and newbie alike. Players will also appreciate getting the full set of cards (90 unique cards, 288 cards total) in one box for the reasonable price of $35 on Kickstarter.

Golden Serpent is the debut game by designer Ricky Mallory. A player of TCGs for 20 years, Ricky has designed dozens of games for his friends and family to play, and now he's bringing all the lessons he's learned from their design, and 2 years of development to his first published game, Golden Serpent.

Golden Serpent stands out among TCGs for its complete removal of resource cards or counters, instead using a delayed purchase mechanic (called the cool down mechanic) that allows players to play any card in their hand from the first turn. Players will need to use strategy and find synergistic card combos to manage the cool down times of their cards and abilities, which range from 0-3 turns, to gain an edge over their opponents and make sure they don't leave themselves open to attack.

Each player can use up to 3 leaders per game, each of which lends unique abilities throughout the game that are unlocked as players level them up. Players are also able to take characters prisoner and use them to summon powerful god and demon cards to help them win.
