FOR COLLECTORS

The Chase Is On: A First Edition With A Finish Line

We take collecting seriously, that is why we are fully transparent and publish all print totals. But, that’s just one thing that makes the First Edition exciting. Beyond our print-run maximum of 25,000 boxes (which is far less than almost every other TCG), all First Edition boxes come with increased holo pull rates over future editions. Additionally, there are a very limited number of founder-signed first edition cards, as well as the opportunity to purchase a First Edition Master Numbered Holo. 

The question we are all wondering though… will you pull some of the most rare cards in the First Edition?

For Families & Players

Two different game modes where every attack is a showdown. 

No mana. No energy cards. No dead hands. No rules text to read. You attack, you both roll, and the whole table finds out together. First to knock out five characters wins. Want something deeper? The same cards play a second, longer mode, Ascension Campaign, built for the strategy crowd. The best part? One box is enough to start, you can learn to play in less than 5 minutes, and play your first game in under 15.

The quick game

Everything above, straight out of one box. Learn it in five minutes, play it in fifteen.

Ascension Campaign

The deep game

Same cards, longer night. Built for the strategy crowd.

Emborgon VSKnightaffe

You attack with Emborgon

+ Offense 5 = 9

They defend with Knightaffe

+ Defense 4 = 8
9 beats 8. Hit for 100. Knightaffe is out.

Roll a 6 and the attack lands no matter what.

Thirty Heroes. Every one comes in a holo.

Play the Apprentice. Keep it alive for a turn. Stack the Guardian on top, then the Hero. Thirty lines, ninety characters, and a collection with an actual finish line.

Big TCGs Print More. Wondervale Prints Less.

Every set is released in three editions, and we tell you that up front. When an edition retires, we publish the final print total (and it's going to be less than most other TCGs). Almost nobody in this industry does this. Plus, each edition is marked and each has tougher holo odds than the one before.

Holo odds

The wide release, for game stores and long-term play. Its own markings, its own odds.

It all started with a question from my son.

“What if we made our own game?” That was three years ago, in the middle of an afternoon playing the games we love. 

We spent eighteen months on the characters before we wrote a single rule. Then came the testing, the rebuilding, and the rebalancing. Three generations of our family worked on this, including his grandfather, whose fifty years in printing is the reason these cards feel the way they do in your hand. 

Now we’re building Wondervale for the long haul. Together, we're focused on building the next great character universe. Through books, collectibles, movies, games, shorts, and more, Tribes of Wondervale is here to tell stories that will inspire, fascinate, and have you feeling like a kid again (or enjoying your youth, for all our kids out there). That said, if you’re here now, you’re here for the first chapter - welcome to the Vale!
