In 2024, the trading card game Altered, which raised $6.2 million on Kickstarter, launched a beta version of its 'print on demand' (POD) feature. This innovative system allows players to order additional copies of cards directly from its online storefront, a first in the TCG market. Players can scan cards into a mobile app and lock them to a digital account, gaining trading and selling opportunities, and order custom prints, including foil options. The change from traditional blind packs to a more personalized ordering system reflects an evolving landscape in collectible gaming.
Altered has introduced a unique 'print on demand' system allowing players to order specific cards, breaking the traditional model of trading card games.
The innovative feature of Altered allows users to scan cards into an app to lock them to digital accounts, enhancing the trading experience.
Players can trade or sell card rights online and order multiple copies, including special foil cards, directly from the game's storefront.
Each order must consist of a pack of 20 cards, highlighting a shift from conventional blind packs to a customer-centric approach in TCGs.
