The Game

What is VARZ TCG?

VARZ is a tactical trading card game fought across a hex-based battlefield. Instead of only playing cards from hand, you command a Hero and summoned Spils on the board, control cursed lands, and strike enemy portals to win. Watch the official video to see it in action.

The Cards

Hundreds of cards to collect

The Core Set spans 240 cards across four rarities — Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Mythic — including Heroes, Spells, Portals, and Skills illustrated by a team of artists.
