Social impact
Mage is much more than a fantasy trading card game. We're a movement of independent artists, storytellers, and gamers working together to create a platform that elevates artists, supports charities, and fosters a community of belonging, kindness, and understanding.
Kickstarter Success!
MageTCG has been built piece by piece — by players, artists, and dreamers who believe in bringing magic back to the real world. The foundation is complete, and the Kickstarter a success. Now, the next steps are to go through production and fulfillment, then launch a small wave of red carpet backer tournaments and continuing to build our community LGS-first.

Testimonials
“Mage is taking a bold approach to the way card games look and feel. They’re completely obsessed with immersing players into a realistic and intense first person experience unlike any other TCG.”
Austin H.
“Mage’s head of design is pouring his soul into this project, a level of authenticity and unrestrained creativity that sets Mage apart from other TCGs. So awesome! You have to see the big picture, it’s incredible.”
Danny T.
“Mage’s research based approach is exactly what we all need right now! A look at the amazing experiences we’ve had over the past 30+ years, to keep what we all loved the most and throw out things we’re glad to see go away. So simple, but it works so well.”
Jacki S.
“Mage isn’t hyping up its own future value, it’s not baking NFTs into anything, and it did the one thing that I appreciate most - getting players involved in the conversation and finding out what we want. #LetsGo”
