Stargate Online Trading Card Game


Card-flopping fun with aliens!

The Stargate Online TCG is primarily 1v1 with optional rules for 3-player matches though the tournament scene focuses only on head-to-head match-ups. Another niggling concern is that this game is online-only; you can’t even play the Skirmish AI without first logging into your SOE account. We were, however, pleased to see Sony’s “Through the Gate” promotion that allows players to cash in their virtual cards for a set of real cards (mailed out in 6-8 weeks).

Most TCGs have a short shelf life, at best, to capture a decent fan-base which in turn stimulates ongoing interest in the game. Stargate TCG Online, with its cool setting, enjoyable gameplay, and fully-featured interface make it extremely likely that it’ll capture a very nice-sized crowd of players and keep them entertained long after the last expansion set is released. What are you waiting for? Jump through the gate and see what’s on the other side!
