• Square Enix is a Japanese video game publisher best known for the Final Fantasy franchise, and in 2011 the company worked with Hobby Japan to release the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game, which used characters from various FF titles in a two-player duel.
Now Square Enix plans to release Mr. Kageyama's Final Fantasy Trading Card Game in both Europe and North America, with the game appearing in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian. As with most trading card games, the game will be released in starter sets — three of them: Fire & Earth, Ice & Lightning, Wind & Water — and booster packs, with twelve cards in the latter and fifty cards in the former, thirty of them being unique to starter sets. Opus 1 of the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game, as this initial launch is dubbed, debuts in September in Europe and in October in North America.
Square Enix also plans the far lighter Chocobo's Crystal Hunt in the U.S. in October 2016, with this game being for 3-5 players aged five and up, with a playing time of 10-20 minutes. Not much has been announced yet about the game:
• Green Couch Games has announced its next release for Q1 2017, another title from JurassAttack!'s Ryan Cowler with the similarly CamelCased title OutLawed! Here's an overview:
Once a player fills up their jail, everyone compares their total reward value of apprehended cards to see who has earned the most rewards and gets to fill the vacant position as deputy of Bandit Bluff.
In the game, players must overcome multiple ruthless and power-hungry "Epics" – the equivalent of supervillains – that each have unique, game-impacting abilities. Players must decide how to resolve these competing priorities together to eliminate epics and ultimately win the game. How, when, and where you act will determine your victory or failure.
