Highlander CCG Mobile App

[wogd]

I'm working on the new official suite of apps (iOS, Android, PC, Mac, Web).  I'm very interested to take feedback from the community on what you'd like to see as I finalize their features:

1. Collector App - tracks your collection, lets you deck build, validates your decks

2. Mobile Game - lets you pair up and play another Highlander TCG fan online with rankings 

Just throwing it out there to gather some input before I start slinging code.

Thanks!

It would be useful for the app to count gems whilst deck building. It is really easy to include too many gems in your deck whilst building it.

In my opinion don’t try and change the game because unless you’re an expert or someone who has played for years and years you’ll only cause issues. 2nd edition needs to continue and 2nd edition sets need to be reprinted so more people can get ahold of it. I’ve heard rumors of a 4th edition and that’s a TERRIBLE idea. Not enough people have had a chance to get 2nd edition and adding a whole new edition is going to cause more issues that this game ABSOLUTELY doesn’t need. My two cents for whatever they’re worth. Not being condescending or disrespectful. I don’t want to see this game be destroyed because it’s already on life support and the community is the only reason it’s still breathing.

I have been given the honor of helping work on 4th Edition and I can say it has been proceeding well. I just wanted to give a little information on what to expect and hopefully ease any fears 2nd Edition players might have.

First, 2nd Edition isn't going anywhere. The amazing Shane is currently working on releasing new cards just for 2nd Edition. Also Type 1 and Type 2 events will continue to be officially run and should now see events taking place at all the biggest conventions.

The new rules for 4th Edition are pretty much exactly the same as 2nd Edition with only a few changes to help streamline them. The current 2nd Edition Rules Team (Steve Rice and Jim Black) have been a big help developing these rules and even the OG Mike Sager has contributed to this effort.

In building the new card pool for 4th Edition, we almost always prefer to use and reprint old cards as opposed to creating new ones. So while the new 4th Edition cards will look different, (We're very excited for the updated graphics) they will function exactly like the original cards and if permitted by the tournament director usable in Type 2.

Finally, I'd just like to say that everyone should think of 4th Edition as a great way for new players to jump into this game we all love so much and hopefully end up playing and supporting 2nd Edition and growing it's player base in the process.

Will 4th edition be available for retailers?
Asking for a friend. Ok asking for my shop lol

That is the plan. While players will be able to get full sets from the Kickstarter we are also planning on producing booster packs and sealed decks for use in drafting and sealed tournaments. These will all hopefully be available for retail stores to buy.

Include use of GPS location and create an alert/vibration when another immortal (player) is nearby. Highlander GO!
