<p><a href="https://www.pockettactics.com/articles/duelyst-shutting-down-mobile/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">As one card game closes its doors</a>, another one sets to throw them wide open. <em>Star Realms</em> is a pretty popular deck-building card game in both physical and digital forms, and the same development company is currently working on a digital successor – <em>Epic</em>. It’s framed more as a traditional TCG than <em>Star Realms</em> ‘build-as-you-go’ mentality but you can see some similarities in terms of the design.</p>
<p>Successfully Kickstarted way back in 2017, this fantasy-style TCG will be releasing on <strong>February 18th, 2020.</strong></p>

<p>What’s more, it will be completely free, up to a point. The principle activities you can do without needing to pay anything are:</p>
<ul>
<li>No cost to download the app.</li>
<li>No cost to get new sets.</li>
<li>No cost or restrictions on online or offline casual play.</li>
<li>Every player will have every card in the game and be able to build any deck, any time.</li>
<li>You can own unlimited copies of every card.</li>
<li>Casual play vs. the AI and in the campaign.</li>
<li>Online matches, including Draft and other formats.</li>
</ul>
<p>The only thing you will need to pay for are cosmetics, extras (like extra deck slots) and competitive play.</p>
<p>Existing players will be able to keep their username and any decks they’ve built, but they won’t be able Gold, Gems or Foil cards from their Alpha accounts.</p>
<p>Also, anyone who backed the game during the Kickstarter will be given extra stuff for free as compensation for the game going free-to-play. You can read the full details further down the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1172937197/epic-digital-card-game/posts/2736817" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">announcement post here.</a></p>
<p><em>Epic Digital will be coming to iOS and Android.</em></p>
