Parallel

Introduction

Parallel is a sci-fi blockchain trading card game (TCG) where players must strategically build decks, representing one of the Parallels, and engage in battles against other players. The game combines a TCG experience with competitive online gameplay that is currently in closed beta, offering players a journey into the world of the five evolutionary streams: Augencore, Earthen, Kathari, Marcolian, and the Shroud. Each stream provides a unique playstyle within the TCG, creating a diverse and strategic gaming environment. The game is available on PC.

Gameplay

In the world of Parallel, players immerse themselves in 1vs1 battles, representing one of the five Parallels, each with its own unique cards and abilities. The turn-based gameplay requires players to strategically play cards from their hand, triggering powerful effects, summoning units, applying passive influences with relics, and equipping units with upgrades.

The objective is simple: reduce the opponent's health to zero before they can do the same to you. Each Parallel has specific cards available to them, and the decks must consist of 40 cards from a single Parallel, along with universal cards that can be used in any deck. Legendary cards, prized for their rarity, are limited to one copy per deck.

Additionally, Paragons are powerful leaders that provide passive and active abilities. Players must strategically assign a Paragon to their deck, considering the passive benefits and the limited opportunity to play the Paragon as a unit during a match. 

Energy management is crucial in Parallel, with players gaining energy through banking cards. Energy is spent to play cards, and unspent energy at the end of a turn doesn't carry over, requiring thoughtful planning for each move.

The game features original 3D art for each card, representing characters or objects, with each card existing as a digital collectible (ERC-1155) on the Ethereum network. While owning digital collectibles is not a prerequisite for playing Parallel TCG, it provides additional opportunities for earning prime and unique experiences outside the game. Each Parallel card is unique to its edition size, ensuring scarcity, and future expansion sets do not affect the rarity of previously released cards.

Token Information

Parallel utilizes a free-to-play model, and playing the game does not require a Web3 wallet. However, the game introduces PRIME tokens, which can be used in the marketplace to buy and trade card NFTs. The rarity of NFTs is reflected in their stats, with rarer cards possessing superior designs and stats, enhancing their overall value in the marketplace.
