A new physical card game, ‘The Console Wars, ‘ has just launched on Kickstarter and takes some funny jabs at the entire gaming industry.
The new game has been launched on Kickstarter by Xboxera, who say the game is a “satirical, parody-filled spin on the gaming industry”. Its reveal trailer featured none other than actor and game developer Abubaker Salim, who narrated what The Console Wars is. You can watch the reveal trailer below:
The press release reads,
“In order to win the Console Wars, content is king, and intellectual property ownership of the best games is everything.
In order to emerge victorious, players will need to battle for ownership of 4 full sets of IP across multiple genres, from action-packed first-person shooters, iconic platformers and deep, complex RPGs.
Throughout play, you’ll try to amass as many fans as you can – without them, you have no momentum, and arguably no platform at all – so keeping fans is critical to holding on to your precious gaming franchises.
Will you emerge victorious? Can you survive the relentless ups and downs of the video game industry? Find out if you have what it takes to truly win the Console Wars by backing us on Kickstarter today!”
The creator of The Console Wars, Jon Clarke, Co-founder of XboxEra said,
“Console Wars” is something the entire industry knows about, and actively dislikes. So what if we took all that toxicity; all that online hate – and turned it into something positive and fun? Something where we could all collectively point and laugh at how ridiculous the very concept of ‘console warring’ is? That’s how Console Wars The Card Game came to be.
Inspired by many of the card games I already play, I wanted to make something even more strategic, vicious and hilarious. As I’ve witnessed with the playtesting over the last year, I truly believe that’s what Console Wars The Card Game is!”
