No. You can only register decks for which you own the cards digitally.
No, you don’t need to, you can play with any paper card.
As for any other card games, from time to time, judges will deck check some players at the beginning of a round.
- The deck checks will be done with the App and a judge will very quickly scan the QR codes of all the cards in the paper deck.
- A deck check only validates that you have the same exact list of cards that you registered with, but does not pay attention to the paper card itself. Which means you can play with any paper cards. The app only checks the numbers, not the matching of the QR codes.
Stay tuned for information about Organized Play rewards!
Altered Organized Play will start as soon as the game releases in August, 2024. During the first set, "Beyond the Gates," all official Altered events will take place in LGSs, as well as a few convention events in 2024.
Starting with "Set 2" in January 2025, we'll expand our Organized Play offerings with competitive tournaments at larger events, our own conventions, and eventually, an Altered World Championship.
We don't have any plans to offer official Alerted Organized Play events via BoardGameArena (BGA). Our committment to physical play will remain the backbone of Altered OP offerings.
We can never account for real world events that might make physical play unrealistic and are happy to have BGA as a platform to play Altered on with your collection.
