What Is War Portal?
War Portal is a new fantasy trading card game with simplicity and depth combined for multiple players and it just so happens to be the first ever Print On Demand option.
Players can quickly expand their collection and earn new abilities through the unique feature that
allows them to print one or multiple cards and have it shipped right to their door.
Our Mission
To bring a fun, affordable, and challenging print-on-demand fantasy card game to all skill levels. We wanted to do this, and we wanted to make sure it stood alone in terms of what the game play itself offered as well. Large multiplayer games will never be the same!
What Makes The War Portal Different Than Other Fantasy Trading Card Games?
Our structure of the game-Player's build decks around a very simple premise. The rank of cards. Each normal deck consists of 2 of each rank, or a Deck total for Rank. Player's can show the opponet that they aren't cheating before the game do to the design of the card, and laying out the cards single file over one another. Insert img. here Alisha Over lay multiple cards to demonstrate.
In the larger game mode, players compete for the turn, if they win in what's called the reveal, the winning player takes action and can attack and play spells only allowed by the player who has domain over the turn.

 This makes playing in large groups really fun as player's arent waiting for their turn, and do to the style of the game the reveals are naturally balanced because of the rank system. The true magic of the game comes from our simple patented design in the game structure.
You can die by loosing life, but you can also lose by not having as many cards at the end of the game as the opponent or even special conditions outlined by a player's cards such as "Corruption policy," You may pay 10,000 gold to your opponet to have them forfeit the game. The game has so many possibilites that we expect our player's to even make up there own formats.
Customize and build your champion in War Portal similarly to how you would in League of Ledgends. As you progress through the game players earn gold, and you can use that along with Spirit, to summon monsters and powerful spells, or buy an Outragous Item from the shop with all the loot you have collected. As you play reveals, and summon creatures to do your bidding, you are often awarded gold.

Custom Decks
Fans of trading card games know the frustration of trying to customize their deck. When cards
are only available in packs, a lot of money is spent on surprises that may be unwelcomed and feel like a waste of money, or you fork out a lot of money just to try a deck you don't like at the local store and end up selling it back. War Portal is changing the game. For the first time, players will be ordering there cards right from an online database, and building all kinds of decks for expirmenting and the compeitive edge all while saving money or even potentially harvesting an investment that will only go up in time.
Players start out with a basic pack to introduce them to the game and join the print-on-demand
service to have access to unique new cards. Once selected, the high-quality, full-color cards will
be shipped to their doors and players will enjoy vivid fantasy illustrations.

Millions Of Ways To Play
Whether you are on your first starter deck or you’re a well seasoned player, War Portal is the chance to get in on the beginning of a print on demand card game revolution. The versatility of the decks and thousands of combinations of cards will keep even veteran players excited. Easy to pick up but hard to master the deeper levels of this great thinking game.

The Real Cost Of Playing Vs. Competition
High Prohibitive Pricing
Nearly three decades ago, the first trading card games made their public debut and started to
steadily gain popularity. Players still regularly meet up to battle it out over a deck of cards, but
being able to triumph in battle comes with a hefty price tag. We base our game on skill and
merit instead of expensive cards.
Don’t Break The Bank
Popular fantasy trading card games sometimes start at over $100 per set with the price steadily
increasing for decks that include rarer cards. War Portal is changing the game, offering players
the opportunity to increase their decks and battle powers without spending a fortune.
No Repeats
The unique print-on-demand feature allows players to select only the cards they want, meaning
there’s no risk of wasting money on unwanted repeats. Players will enjoy stunning fantasy art
that brings the War Portal universe to life.
Rare Cards
The price of cards increases only after reaching a certain number of orders which influences demand and value the cards while also limiting the availibility of a given card. Store managers may order many copies of a card while a normal POD account may only order so many before price fluctuates and inability to order sets in. This encourages unique deck building.

Product Specific FAQs:
● Won’t Rare Cards Get Too Expensive Eventually Like Other Trading Card Games?
As long as you are playing in the current supported format with Print On Demand, Cards will never exceed the cost of making them. We just eliminate the middle man when selling to the compeitive format known as "Standard In magic." Other cards will eventually start to rise in value after they are no longer in print or "On Demand." In this way, you win, because all the cards you collected can only go up in value at this point! This also permits game stores to sell used product, just like they do with traditional TCG's.
● Will there be online discussion boards for card combination questions? Absolutely, in fact, we are hoping to have a card database linked right off of our main landing page that works similarly to "The Gatherer" for MTG! From there your account is only a click away, so ordering new cards in rotation as well as brainstorming new decks is super easy!
● Can I design and print my own cards through the app?
In the future when the technology is fully integrated, Players can earn Keys and Essence by finding them in physical packs, or unlocking them in the digital game. From there you can enter your key code to unlock upgrades to your cards, and even customizations!

● Do you keep my stats for my solo online games?
Yes, Dario, our programmer is really excited on showing all the data between players and the ranking system we will have. Win Rate as well as gold earnings, (the in game reward currency) and other interesting stats as well as who your best champion might be.
● Can I play with people I know on the digital version or is it against a computer only?
Computer AI and even a story mode are envisioned. Right now it is planned to first be AI, and against friends, or Around the World. In around the World there is ranked matches. Playing with friends awards you with more gold and rare finds. The game is up to 8+players in physical form, and we have been working on ways to make this possible for digital as well while making it a fun cooperative experience.
● Will the card backs match in color, shape, size, material, texture, and design?
Yes, only special cards will vary in size.

 Also In the two game modes, Classic may have it's own back, and Spirited may have it's own back. We are still waiting on the community to respond, but we are leaning towards the same back because of the different formats we expect oto keep popping up.

Print On Demand- Our efforts to bring Print On Demand to the fray of TCG's continues to grow, however the technology and implementation is significant in costs. We would need to raise above 150K to fully implement POD which includes releasing the new technology and software along with upgrading existing printers to support the technology. Our manufacturer is on board with us even if we do not hit this goal, the use of Print On Demand is just sparingly used early as we will be manually taking the orders. The game is designed under the idea that in the future POD will eventually come to the Fray of TCG's and we are eager to share this with the world. The ability to make requests on custom card backs, and character attributes, alter card rank and more, is a large part of the future of War Portal.

Traditional TCG's VS War Portal-
Many of us know how traditional TCG's work. Cards get printed in large sheets and cut into individual cards with different rarities based on how many are printed for that card. Two things affect the cost of a card. Rarity and Demand. They then get put into a box and shipped to retailers. Here some retailers open the Trading Card Game boxes and sell the individual cards to you at the price they believe they are worth from the set, sometimes much higher than they will ever be worth.

For competitive competitions, this makes playing the current meta expensive. There are many names such as Frontier and Standard or Current Block. We devised a system where both the stores and the players win and player's can still make money on their investment!

How Print On Demand Saves YOU Money (or even generates it $)- Imagine waking up and running to your mail box to receive your War Portal Envelope! Your special cards you know change the game, are in this very envelope and it is radiating with divine light. Player's will be choosing the price of cards by making orders in Print On Demand. You send WAR PORTAL a request for a card for the competition of the current "Standard" format, and you buy it at an incredibly low price no matter how awesome you think the card is. Print On demand will only be available during the sets legality in tournaments, so once it's all over, the cards can only go up in value. (See more on Print on Demand in the special details section under POD.)

The cost of the card will be determined by how much it costs to manufacture and ship to you and start off with us only being able to pay for the creation of the card and it's transportation as it can be shipped to your door! We expect the card to start at 1-3 dollars for PRINT ON DEMAND, you can still buy boxes and decks like you normally would if you would like to collect in bulk. Ordering cards together eliminates the initial cost of shipping, so stacking orders together is another way to save.

As player's continue to purchase ON DEMAND, the amount of the card sold or demanded, raises the cards value based on it's tier. There are 3 main tiers, Bottom, Mid and Top. There is a small percentage of cards that can rise above these three tiers, or even become banned in a particular format and this will be the top 1 percent.

The cards from each set will be distributed between these 3 main tiers each holding 33 percent of the totem. The tier 1 card or Top, will cost more than the Mid range or Bottom 33 percent card. We also can make sure that the cards will always be affordable while being in the current Meta, for example the Top Tier Cards may cost 7 dollars instead of 2. This ensures War Portal players can enjoy the standard competition.

In the future you can use the same War Portal POD account to sell cards as well, just like you would on TCG, except we would have it all laid out for you. You can sell the cards at 2 dollars less than their demand price for used condition.

War Portal Pod Accounts- your cards will be even more unique, as card stats and abilities and rank are sometimes determined on your War Portal Pod account, making them unique among the thousands that can become available. IIt truly is a new way to Play TCG's. As you participate in events or the Mobil version of the game, On Demand Cards will unlock digital variants, as well as unlocking key fragments found in booster packs and decks. You can use these to make special customization to your cards.
