For stores, Organized Play is the best way to build a community and get players involved with the game on a local scale. Through our Organized Play program, stores can organize weekly Expeditions. Have your players root for their favorite faction and reward them with Promo boosters full of exclusive cards and levels for their Adventure pass!

Here is what you need to know in order to run Altered Organized Play events in your store.

Altered’s Organized Play is divided in two distinct categories.

This category of support is handled directly by Asmodee or your regional distributor. While Equinox provides Asmodee with products, it is up to Asmodee to decide on attribution and eligibility directives. Contact your sales representative to know more about this.

This category includes, for example, Promo boosters, Promo cards, event support, displays, starters, posters, and any other type of physical reward.

Any store account validated by us on the Altered site or the app is eligible to use the event management tool. Every event organized through our event manager rewards attending players with 1 additional level on the Adventure Pass.

Promo boosters are Expedition exclusive booster packs composed of 3 cards that your players can win when participating in your events.

Ordering Promo boosters is done at the same time as ordering your other Altered products via your distribution channel, and the number of boosters you get is solely decided by your distribution partner.

Once you’re all set with Asmodee, it’s time to register your store on the altered.gg website. Creating a Retailer PRO account is mandatory to run any official Altered event and offers many other advantages.

To create a Retailer PRO account, follow this link.

Creating an account takes less than 5 minutes but require that you fill in the following information such as:

• Your personal information
• Your store’s name and address
• Your store’s legal information
• Your store’s social networks (optional)
• A photo of your store and a quick listing of its accommodations

Once you’ve created your account, it should take us less than a few days to check your registration and validate your account.

With a retailer account, you will be able to:

• Create/Manage events (available September 13th)
• Manage your professional collection, buy and sell cards (check our Roadmap for feature availability)
• Manage and notify your followers (check our Roadmap for feature availability)
• Receive our exclusive retailer-oriented newsletter

Everything can be accessed from your store’s profile page.

To create an event, select Manage my events on your profile page. On the Event page, select Create Event.

The Event creation form contains all info needed for players to find and register to your event. Choose an event name, a format, fill in the date, hour and location of your event. You can add a description and redirect players to your website to finalize payment.

Keep in mind that the Altered platform does not handle registration payments at the moment. You can use your usual preferred method of payment.

There are many formats you can choose from to run your Altered weekly Expeditions.

• Standard Constructed is the most popular format and the one new players are familiar with the most.
• Draft Limited is a fun and challenging format for more experienced players, ideal to discover the cards from a new set or experience a set in a new way.
• Sealed Limited is the recommended format for Launch Events and Pre-Releases, welcoming both recurring and new players alike. It’s the perfect format to discover a new set.
• Multiplayer Constructed is the recommended format for fun game nights and players looking for a more casual game experience. A Multiplayer table typically welcomes 4 players in 2v2 or 1v1v1v1 games.

To learn more about the different formats, check out our Formats of Altered article.

Once you’ve created an event on the Altered App, it appears in your listed events on your store’s profile page. From now on, players can find your event in the Event page and start registering to your events with their player account.

You can also add players manually to your events on the Player Management Page. To do so, Select Add a player, fill in their user ID and Select Add to the event.

Since most stores handle registration through their own websites, at the moment, players registering through the Altered App only serves as a way to link Player Accounts to Official Altered Events and thus allows your players to progress on their Adventure Pass. If a player does not register via the Altered App, and manually registers via your own solution, you’ll have to add him manually into your event.

A registration is considered valid only when you manually change the player status to Validated

As mentioned in our Update on our Digital Roadmap - August article, our Tournament tool is not available yet. In the meanwhile, we recommend using your preferred tool or Toornament as a way to easily handle player pairings and results for your events.

To learn how to manage your events through Toornament, follow our guide.

Deck checking your players’ decks for weekly Expeditions is not mandatory. We are still working on providing organizers with an in-app feature for this purpose, but this functionality will be made available in 2025.

If your players have questions regarding game interactions or card rulings, they should always refer to the Store or Event organizer. Each card on the Altered website contains a section with specific card rulings that should help stores and players answer ruling issues (available September 13th).

Should you need to, you can also refer to the Altered Full Rules (available September 6th).

Our rules-and-wording channel over on our Discord server also contains a lot of ruling questions, which the community has already answered.

If players cannot come to an agreement, then it is up to the Store or Event organizer to decide how the interaction should resolve.

Once you receive your Promo boosters, the way you reward your players is entirely up to you. Whether you want to reward your players at random, depending on their results or their involvement in your Altered community is for each store to decide.

For Expeditions, organizers are expected to provide at least 1 Promo booster as a part of rewards given.

Participating in any Expedition event rewards players with 1 Level on their Adventure Pass.

For your players to progress on their Adventure Pass, they need to be registered to your store’s event on the Altered App with their Altered player account. Registrations are to be validated at the start of each event and should only account for the players actually attending the event.

Once the event is closed, regardless of your players’ results, they will all be rewarded with 1 additional level.
