VARZ in 30 seconds
A Trading Card Game Where Position Changes Everything
Most trading card games are fought across rows and zones. VARZ takes the battle onto a hex field, where movement, distance, adjacency, and positioning become part of every decision.
Choose How You Win
Pressure your opponent’s Life or fight for control of their Portals. A match can be won through direct aggression, careful positioning, or by breaking through the battlefield one Portal at a time.
Summon the Legends of Tokyo
The Spils of VARZ are born from urban legends, folklore, rumors, fears, and unexplained incidents. Bring them onto the battlefield and discover the strange world hidden beneath modern Tokyo.
