TCG 101

Online Trading Card Games are similar to the trading cards you knew as a child. Rather than having to meet up with others to play and having to collect cards through buying card packs at a store, you collect everything online through playing mini games and participating in events and other activities—all for free!

The goal is to collect all of the cards you like, also know as mastering a deck. However, with how the games are designed and scripted, it is most likely you won't get the cards that you want when you play these games or participate in other activities. This is where the trading part comes in. You can offer the cards you own but don't want to keep or collect with fellow players and ask for the cards that they own but don't want in return.

Online TCGs are free to play, a lot of fun, and very addictive! Interested in joining? Check out the rest of Sidequest TCG's information before moving on to the join form!

Trade Post

Before you join, you need a place to store your stuff, also known as a trade post. To make life easier for you and for your fellow TCG members, you should separate your cards—at least into groups of keeping and trading. You are also required to keep a detailed activity and trade logs, showing how you got every card. The final thing you need on your site is a way to contact you, either a form or an email link, so you can trade with other players.

If you don\'t have a website to display or host your trade post, you can use free hosting sites or blogs such as Dreamwidth.
