what's parallel tcg?
Parallel TCG is a blockchain-based sci-fi trading card game that integrates NFTs for collectible cards across five factions: Marcolian, Earthen, Augencore, Kathari, and Shroud. Players can build decks, compete in ranked matches, and earn rewards through gameplay emissions in the $PRIME token. The project features an open beta, starter decks available via partners like Coinbase NFT, and upcoming releases on Steam and mobile platforms. It emphasizes community-driven esports with events like Parallel League and supports trading on platforms like OpenSea. Built on Ethereum and Base, it combines traditional TCG mechanics with web3 ownership and economy.
