Introduction

Over the last two decades, several Trading Card Games have been launched with extreme success such as Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic the Gathering. During this time, what enticed fans to collect cards and battle each other was the feeling of owning their own, shiny, cards and getting to engage with other players.

With the maturing of Web 2.0, the physical industry took a digital leap. Online games such as Heartstone, Shadowverse and Duellyst offered the typical TCG experience but in a new, more modern, format. However, that experience did not allows users to truly own their digital assets. As a matter of fact, to this day, players still do not have the opportunity to own their assets.

With the emergence of Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and, as of late, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), the gaming industry has evolved, allowing gaming to take off once again. However, a great portion of the NFT-TCGs reach for nostalgia and lack innovation. Consequently, gamers do own their assets, but gameplay designs and mechanics are dated at best.

Crystale offers players the experience of playing a TCG while owning in-game assets by leveraging blockchain technology. Crystale is reimagining traditional TCG gameplay by designing unique game mechanics to offer a more dynamic, strategic and rewarding TCG gameplay.
