FAQ

When does the Kickstarter campaign start?

Our Kickstarter campaign takes off on November 29 and will run for 35 days! Circle the date, set an alarm, and get ready to be part of something epic—you don’t want to miss this!

Is In Light of Shadows a solo or multiplayer game?

It’s a head-to-head showdown, bringing the intensity of a one-on-one duel right to your table (or screen!). So grab an opponent, sharpen your skills, and let the battle begin!

Is In Light of Shadows a physical or digital game?

It’s the best of both worlds! You’ll get real, collectible cards to hold and play with in person. But scan them, and they come to life in your digital collection—letting you challenge opponents from anywhere in the world! You’ll never have experienced a game quite like this.

Is the digital game available yet?

Not yet—but it’s coming! We’re aiming for a beta launch in 2025, where you’ll get to be one of the first to battle online. The countdown has already started!

How does the card scanning feature work?

Each card is a one-time deal—once you scan it, that’s it! The QR code becomes inactive, securing its place in your digital collection. Every card becomes a unique gem, waiting for your strategy!

Can I verify that my cards are unscanned?

Absolutely! Every pack comes with a special seal to ensure its authenticity. Always check that the seal is intact before purchasing. If you notice a compromised seal, we strongly advise against buying that pack and encourage you to report it to us. Buying packs with a damaged seal is at your own risk. Stay vigilant to protect your collection!

Is there a marketplace for trading digital cards?

Yes! After the Kickstarter campaign, we’ll be launching our official marketplace, the ultimate hub for trading your digital cards. And that’s just the beginning—we’re planning to expand to other platforms, so your collection’s reach is limitless! Stay tuned for updates!

If I trade a physical card, can I keep the digital one?

Totally! Once scanned, the digital and physical cards become independent. You can trade one, keep the other, or pass them both on to future champions!

Can I mix cards from different factions when building my deck?

Faction loyalty runs deep! But we give you freedom with neutral cards, which can join any faction deck, letting you add a wildcard twist to your strategy.

What are the starter packs?

Starter packs are your launchpads! Each one’s a ready-to-play, 40-card deck, themed around a powerful faction. With these, you’ll be prepared to dive right into the action!

What are booster packs?

Can I get booster packs through the Kickstarter?

Not yet! These mystery-packed boosters will debut in Season 1, mid-2025, making it worth the wait!

What can I expect from Legendary packs on Kickstarter?

Legendary packs bring exclusive, limited-edition neutral Legendary cards that’ll take your strategy to the next level. Add one to any starter deck for an unbeatable edge—just keep in mind, no duplicates of the same Legendary per deck!

How do Kickstarter Legendary pack cards work with starter decks?

The Kickstarter Legendary pack is your ticket to power! These exclusive, neutral Legendary cards can join any faction deck—just swap out one of your existing cards to introduce fresh, game-changing power to your strategy. Remember, only one of each Legendary per deck!

How can I learn about the game’s story and lore?

We’re crafting an entire world beyond the cards! Look out for books, comics, animations, and interactive adventures. Dive into our universe with Divine Heir, our first novel, available exclusively through our Kickstarter campaign—it’s the ultimate entry into the rich lore of In Light of Shadows.

What is the Divine Heir book about?
